Job description

Systems Engineer - LTE - Remote - New Product Development

A System Engineer in this role will be responsible for the design, implementation, maintenance, and integration of both LTE (Long-Term Evolution) and TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) communication systems, ensuring seamless and reliable voice and data services for mission-critical applications.

Key Responsibilities

• System Design Implementation: Design and implement robust and scalable system architectures for integrated LTE and TETRA networks, potentially involving hybrid solutions that combine the strengths of both technologies.
• Network Management Optimisation: Monitor system performance for both networks, identify bottlenecks, and perform optimisation to ensure high availability and performance. This includes managing maintenance and repair programs to prevent system breakdowns.
• Configuration Installation: Oversee the installation, configuration, and maintenance of network infrastructure, including base stations, Routers, Switches, and software platforms. Integration
• Interoperability: Ensure seamless integration between the TETRA (primarily for mission-critical voice) and LTE (for high-bandwidth data/video) elements, which may involve working with gateways or integrated core network solutions.
• Collaboration Vendor Management: Work closely with internal cross-functional teams and external vendors to define system requirements, resolve issues, and ensure compliance with industry standards.
• Documentation Standards: Create and maintain detailed technical documentation, including system designs, configurations, procedures, and test reports, to ensure accurate records and compliance with regulations.
• Security Management: Implement and manage security protocols, including access controls and Firewalls, and develop disaster recovery plans to protect the network and data.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Technical Expertise: Strong background in radio and IP-based communication systems, including in-depth knowledge of LTE and TETRA standards and technologies.
• Problem-Solving Analytical Skills: The ability to diagnose complex technical issues, perform root cause analysis, and develop effective, innovative solutions.
• Communication Collaboration: Excellent communication skills.
• Relevant Experience: A bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field (telecommunications, electronics, computer science) and proven experience in a similar role are typically required.
