Specialization in RF Planning, RF Design, or SC6/RF Compliance is welcome. Broad experience across multiple domains may qualify candidates for senior or technical-lead roles.

Core Responsibilities

• Perform RF capacity, traffic, coverage and performance analysis.
• Identify coverage and capacity issues and recommend radio upgrades, carrier additions, spectrum additions, sector changes, or new-site solutions.
• Prepare RF Qualifications, coverage objectives, search maps, candidate assessments, coverage plots, and Proposed Antenna Layouts.
• Create and revise RF planning specifications for new builds, upgrades, relocations, temporary sites, and spectrum programs.
• Prepare RF engineering inputs for Land Acquisition Orders, Release for Engineering, and Full Build Specifications.
• Create, review, validate, and revise Final Cell Designs, including antenna, radio, baseband, sector, azimuth, height, tilt, MIMO, and connectivity information.
• Prepare and review CivilSub, RFWO, RF coupling diagrams, civil drawings, colocation forms, and RF inputs to installation and provisioning work orders.
• Perform or review Safety Code 6 studies, exposure calculations, site models, mitigation requirements, compliance reports, and professional engineering stamping packages.
• Support related compliance activities, including PIM assessments, airport runway pre-operation reports, EMCAB attestations, and antenna installation audits.
• Create and validate RF and technical Bills of Materials, ensuring consistency with planning specifications, FCDs, SC6 reports, and approved hardware configurations.
• Review antenna-placement, spacing, height, azimuth, radio, power, and configuration changes.
• Maintain accurate engineering information in ADM, Remedy, Jira, SharePoint, NetCracker, and other customer systems.
• Prepare RF closeout packages, as-built documentation, database updates, and final acceptance evidence.
• Review deliverables produced by internal teams and engineering partners and resolve customer comments, defects, and design inconsistencies.
• Coordinate with Planning, Real Estate, Site Acquisition, Civil, Equipment Engineering, Transport, Implementation, Field Operations, customers, and subcontractors.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, Wireless Communications, or a related discipline.
• Five or more years of experience in RF planning, RAN design, wireless engineering, or a related field with Canadian cellular operators
• Knowledge of LTE and 5G NR radio-network planning and design.
• Hands-on experience with one or more of the following:
• RF Qualification and coverage analysis
• RF planning specifications
• Final Cell Design
• CivilSub or RF work-order design
• Safety Code 6 or RF exposure compliance
• Strong understanding of antennas, radios, basebands, MIMO, RF cabling, sector configurations, azimuths, heights, tilts, power, and radio-to-antenna connectivity.
• Ability to interpret site surveys, civil drawings, construction drawings, structure information, and site photographs.
• Strong technical writing, documentation, problem-solving, and quality-review skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively with customers, internal teams, and delivery partners.
