We are hiring an RF Field Engineer to perform site surveys, RF data collection, walk testing, CW testing, drive testing, and supporting commissioning activities on nationwide in‑building, outdoor, and large venue wireless projects. This is a travel‑intensive field role and the primary on‑site engineering presence for RF data acquisition on AmeriCloud projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct civil and RF site surveys at customer venues, including commercial buildings, hospitals, stadiums, arenas, airports, convention centers, and similar properties.
• Perform in‑building walk testing, CW (Continuous Wave) testing, and drive testing using industry standard tools.
• Operate RF test equipment during multi‑hour testing sessions and ensure the accuracy and integrity of all data collected.
• Support DAS and RAN system commissioning, integration, and turn‑up activities as assigned.
• Read and execute RF design files, including iBwave designs, RFDS documents, and Method of Procedure (MOP) documents.
• Prepare and submit project deliverables, including survey reports, walk‑test reports, drive‑test reports, photographs, and supporting documentation.
• Provide cross‑functional support to the Construction, Installation, Commissioning, and Optimization teams on an as‑needed basis.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent combination of education and field‑engineering experience.
• Working understanding of RF fundamentals, wireless network architecture, and wireless testing methodologies (LTE, 5G NR).
• Strong technical communication skills in English (verbal and written).
• Authorization to work in the United States.
• OSHA 10‑hour Construction certification, or willingness to complete during onboarding.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior Walk Test or Drive Test engineering experience with a Tier‑1 carrier, OEM, or telecom vendor.
• Vendor or OEM‑specific commissioning certifications.
• Hands‑on experience with DAS commissioning and integration.

Working Conditions

• Field‑based role with approximately 80–90% travel; multi‑day project weeks (typically Monday‑Friday) and multi‑stop project assignments.
• Routine work at heights up to approximately 30 feet via ladders and scissor lifts; routine access to rooftops, catwalks, and elevated stadium seating.
• Routine access to confined and restricted equipment spaces (IDF closets, MDF rooms, MPOE).
• Walk‑test sessions involve carrying a backpack‑mounted test kit (scanner, router, handsets, batteries) while operating a tablet for navigation across multi‑hour sessions.
• After‑hours, overnight, and weekend execution windows are routine, driven by customer‑venue access restrictions.
• Travel via rental vehicle (company‑arranged).
• Project schedules typically firm the week prior to execution; engineers are expected to maintain availability per the schedule allotted by project management.
