• Data analytics/Business intelligence tools (PowerBI, Tableau)
• Strong understanding of LTE/5G features like CQI, SINR, handover mechanisms, and carrier aggregation.
• Strong understanding of 5G ORAN standards, virtualization technologies, containerization.
• Strong understanding of RAN technologies (e.g. 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G), protocols, and architectures and Call flow Analysis.
• Experience with network monitoring and analysis tools (e.g., Samsung/Mavenir/Ericsson ENM/Nokia NetAct/Huawei U2020).
• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK
• Experience with VoLTE, VoNR, and other IMS-based services.
• Experience with RAN performance tools like Q-GIS,TEMS, Actix, Drive Test tools, NetAct, ENM, Wireshark, NEMO etc.
• Familiarity with automation scripts (Python, SQL) to streamline repetitive tasks.
• Ability to interpret network data and KPIs to pinpoint areas of improvement.
• Proficiency in statistical analysis and network traffic forecasting.
• Expertise in troubleshooting network issues and RCA for performance bottlenecks.

Role & Responsibilities

• Monitor, Investigate, resolve the issues related to RAN KPIs and metrics, such as throughput, latency, call drops, handovers, and signal quality.
• Use tools like OSS (Operations Support Systems), NetAct, ENM, or other vendor-specific platforms to collect and analyse performance data.
• Generate regular reports to track network performance trends and detect anomalies.
• Perform trials in “golden clusters” to validate network features
• Collaborate with ORAN vendors to develop and implement FOAs
• Call Flow Analysis including Drive test analysis
• Perform root cause analysis (RCA) for network performance degradation and implement corrective actions.
• Coordinate with field teams to conduct drive tests for identifying coverage or capacity issues.
• Conduct parameter audits and optimization to improve coverage, capacity, and quality of service (QoS).
• Optimize key features like carrier aggregation, MIMO, VoLTE, and VoNR performance in LTE/5G networks.
• Evaluate and forecast network capacity requirements based on traffic trends.
• Collaborate with RF planning teams to recommend hardware or software upgrades for capacity improvement.
• Ensure smooth integration and optimization of new sites or technologies (e.g., 5G NR deployment).
• Utilize tools such as Atoll, TEMS, Actix, and/or proprietary tools for drive test analysis and performance evaluations.
• Automate routine tasks like data collection, reporting, or parameter audits to improve efficiency.
• Analyse customer complaints related to network issues and ensure timely resolution.
