About this opportunity
ELITS is looking for a Wireless Network Engineer to support radio access network (RAN) planning, design, tuning, and optimization. You will work with fourth generation Long Term Evolution (4G LTE) and fifth generation New Radio (5G NR) systems in multivendor environments, helping improve coverage, capacity, and overall network quality.
You will combine hands on engineering and technical leadership, analyzing network behavior, interpreting performance data and drive test results, and recommending improvements. You will work closely with project teams and customer stakeholders to deliver reliable, high performing wireless networks.
What you will do
• Design, plan, tune, and optimize radio frequency (RF) networks to improve coverage, capacity, and service quality.
• Lead technical delivery across wireless projects, organizing engineering activities, overseeing technical quality, and managing project and customer expectations.
• Analyze network events and resolve accessibility, retainability, handover, and capacity issues using Layer 3 messaging and performance data.
• Develop and refine network designs using link budgets, propagation model tuning, tilt and azimuth optimization, and new site proposals.
• Interpret drive test results and traffic statistics to recommend parameter changes, feature activations, and improvements for networks under realistic traffic loads.
• Evaluate RAN features, additional carriers, uplink performance, and inter radio access technology (IRAT) procedures, including their impact on mobility and capacity.
• Review key performance indicators (KPIs), recommend corrective actions, and communicate technical findings and improvement plans to stakeholders.
The skills you bring
• Minimum seven years of relevant experience, with a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent applicable experience.
• Recent hands on experience in radio network design, implementation, tuning, and optimization, including 4G LTE and 5G NR networks.
• Technical leadership on at least four projects, including responsibility for all technical activities on one large scale metropolitan or statewide network project.
• Experience with Planet EV and Atoll, including project setup, link budgets, Automatic Cell Planning (ACP), Monte Carlo analysis, and propagation model tuning.
• Strong knowledge of Layer 3 messaging, drive test analysis, and live network optimization, using tools such as TEMS Investigation, Actix, Agilent, and Rohde & Schwarz.
• Experience with network management and optimization platforms, RAN feature implementation, KPI analysis, uplink tuning, and the relationship between handover performance and network capacity.
• Exposure to technologies such as Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (Massive MIMO), millimeter wave (mmWave), Licensed Assisted Access (LAA), Internet of Things (IoT), and Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS); proficiency with Microsoft Office and strong written and verbal communication skills.
Qualities
At ELITS Canada, great people create great impact. Success in this role comes from ownership, practical problem solving, and a strong delivery mindset. You are someone who:
• Communicates clearly with technical teams, project stakeholders, and customers.
• Brings a structured and analytical approach to complex wireless network challenges.
• Works independently while remaining collaborative and accountable.
• Takes initiative and makes practical recommendations that improve performance and delivery outcomes.
• Contributes to a culture of trust, quality, and continuous improvement.
This position is open to Canadian residents and individuals with a valid work permit in Canada.
