Position Summary:

First Point Group is seeking an experienced, highly technical, and accomplished Senior Ericsson 5G RF Optimization Expert with 10+ years of Ericsson LTE/UMTS RF optimization experience, 5+ years of hands‑on Ericsson 5G RF optimization expertise (SA/NSA), and 2+ years of VoNR/VoLTE experience to join our client engagement team on a full‑time basis in the United States (Dallas, TX preferred, with remote work possible within the USA for eligible candidates). In this specialized wireless radio frequency engineering role, you will spearhead leading network optimization initiatives, enhancing performance KPIs, and delivering advanced technical solutions for high‑performance Ericsson 5G networks. You will work closely with mobile network operators, radio access network (RAN) engineering squads, and customer stakeholders to ensure uncompromising coverage, throughput, and service reliability. Ideal candidates bring a robust academic degree in telecommunications or electrical engineering, mandatory U.S. work authorization (U.S. Citizens, Green Card Holders, or TN Visa eligible), deep practical mastery of TEMS and Actix post‑processing tools, and immediate availability for deployment.

Detailed Job Description:

As a Senior Ericsson 5G RF Optimization Expert at First Point Group in the USA, you will take full ownership of end‑to‑end radio frequency optimization, performance KPI enhancement, statistical reporting, and root‑cause analysis across complex Ericsson 5G SA/NSA and legacy RAN deployments. Your day‑to‑day responsibilities encompass executing drive test measurements, post‑processing data with TEMS and Actix, performing aggressive RAN parameter tuning, implementing advanced radio features, managing neighbor relations, and resolving high‑severity network performance bottlenecks. You will collaborate proactively with cross‑functional network operations and optimization squads to deliver superior voice and data user experiences. Working in a fast‑paced telecommunications technology environment in the USA, you will drive wireless network excellence, spectral efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead complex Ericsson 5G RF optimization initiatives for Standalone (SA) and Non‑Standalone (NSA) network deployments across the USA.
• Enhance end‑to‑end performance KPIs, accessibility, retainability, throughput, and mobility metrics for Ericsson cellular networks.
• Spearhead radio frequency optimization for Ericsson VoNR (Voice over New Radio) and VoLTE services ensuring carrier‑grade voice quality.
• Conduct comprehensive statistical reporting, performance trend analyses, and rigorous root‑cause analysis (RCA) on network degradation issues.
• Utilize drive test measurement and post‑processing tools including TEMS, Actix, and advanced RF analysis suites.
• Execute precise RAN parameter tuning, feature implementation, carrier aggregation optimization, and neighbor relation planning.
• Collaborate proactively with mobile operator RF engineering teams, field operations, and vendor technical squads.
• Troubleshoot complex coverage holes, pilot pollution, interference issues, and handoff failures across LTE and 5G tiers.
• Author detailed technical optimization reports, engineering recommendations, and cluster acceptance documentation.
• Ensure strict adherence to U.S. regulatory standards, safety guidelines, and client‑specific performance SLAs.

Required Qualifications & Skills:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
