Job description

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Design Engineer with strong expertise in IBS (In-Building Solutions), DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems), and in-building wireless design. The ideal candidate should be capable of independently handling large-scale, high-density IBS/DAS projects and producing complete technical design deliverables.

Key responsibilities

• Perform IBS radio design for target buildings, including coverage demand analysis, iBwave simulation, equipment selection, and BOM preparation.

• Build and update building models in iBwave and produce complete design outputs, including coverage prediction maps, schematics, equipment lists, parameter settings, and antenna layouts.

• Coordinate with operator/customer design teams during design review and approval.

• Revise designs based on customer comments and requirements until final acceptance.

• Support site surveys, drive tests, and post-optimization activities.

• Analyze drive test results and incorporate findings into design optimization.

• Work closely with the Project Manager during site implementation.

• Troubleshoot installation and commissioning issues and provide necessary design adjustments on site.

• Maintain local design parameters, cost benchmarks, design standards, and reusable templates.

• Perform other technical and project-related tasks as assigned by the supervisor.

About you

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Communications, Telecommunications Engineering, or a related field.

• Proven experience in IBS / DAS / in-building wireless design.

• Strong familiarity with Philippine mobile operator IBS design processes and acceptance requirements, particularly Globe, Smart, and DITO.

• Experience designing multi-operator shared IBS/DAS systems for large, high-density facilities such as stadiums and arenas, airports, premium office towers, and large mixed-use developments.

• Able to independently handle the overall design of large-scale IBS/DAS projects.

• Proficient in iBwave for link budget, radio planning, coverage simulation, 2D/3D building modeling, and complete design deliverables.

• Able to independently build and refine 2D/3D building models in iBwave or equivalent radio planning software.

• Proficient in AutoCAD and other IBS design software, including antenna layout, drawings, and design documentation.

• Strong knowledge of IBS wireless networking, active and passive DAS, Pico RRU / ADAS, Fiber DAS, repeaters, equipment selection and configuration, and BOM preparation.

• Familiar with Philippine operator frequency bands: 700 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2300 / 2500 / 2600 MHz, wireless KPI targets such as RSRP, SINR, and RxLev used for network acceptance, and fluent in English with the ability to prepare technical design documents and communicate with customers. Willing to travel across different regions as required.
