Senior Wireless Network Design Engineer

What you will do:

Network Planning, Design, and Optimization

Lead frequency planning activities to mitigate interference through advanced frequency reuse strategies

Own cell planning activities, including determination of cell center locations, cell density, bandwidth allocation, and service duration based on subscriber density, traffic models, and service requirements

Lead beam management design to create, optimize, and maintain planned cells on the ground

Define, monitor, and optimize key performance indicators (KPIs), accounting for dynamics unique to LEO satellite networks

Satellite and System-Level Coordination

Lead satellite scheduling strategies for the LEO constellation to optimally serve ground cells

Conduct and review feasibility analyses for multiple technical configurations, including frequency of operation, bandwidth, and cell size

Own link budget analyses for satellite-to-ground and ground-to-satellite links, including margin analysis and sensitivity studies

Work closely with Systems Engineers, Orbital Engineers, and Core Network teams to drive cohesive system architecture and trade-offs

Technical Leadership

Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers

Contribute to the definition of network design methodologies, tools, and best practices

Support system integration, testing, and field trials with expert-level analysis and recommendations

Technical Requirements:

3GPP Protocols
