Senior RF Engineer

ENI's Vision

To be globally recognized as the most specialized group of professionals providing Telecom Services including project management,Turnkey solutions and consultancy services based on excellent reputation in quality, cost management and dependability.

The Senior Radio Frequency (RF) Engineer is responsible for overseeing the analysis, design, implementation andenhancement of wireless telecommunications networks. These includeexisting and planned networks for cellular and digital mobile phone anddata transmission networks. The Senior RF Engineer position requires working knowledge in cellular systems, mobile radio propagationenvironment, widely used prediction models and measurement techniques.

Responsibilities include RF site approvals, linking budgets, systemdimensioning for coverage and capacity including traffic analysis,initial system design and dimensioning, RF coverage planning, frequencyplanning and interference analysis.

• Perform RF drive testing to carry out propagation and signal measurement.
• Perform analysis of measureddata, in order to modify network design and enhance performance. Ensurethe deployment of an optimum system, making sure that service coverage is in line with the objective and the strategy adopted by the service provider.
• Devise test plans, test site scheduling, equipment calibration and setup, RF signal measurement anddata analysis.
• Research and identify thelatest techniques in RF engineering and cellular industry, with a focuson special features and methods to improve coverage, quality and capacity.
• Identify RF equipmentlocation at sites, site RFaudits, build verification and system RFacceptance.
• Provide training on wirelesstechnologies and applications.
• Development of specialized
  
  Hardware and Software tools.
• Oversee RF planning projects.
• Identify development needsand provide mentoring to Associate and RF Design Engineers.
• Perform microwaveinterference analysis as prior to actual RF transmission from a basestation of a wireless network, remove or relocate microwave links toavoid any interference caused by the wireless system.
• Measure field data for thebase site to identify RF signals frequencies and respective powers.
• Define the requirements and establish the design criteria to identify the network planning tools touse and the required databases.
• Perform measurementintegration into the planning tool; in order to tailor the tool for the specific design market environment.
• Identify base station sitesfor system coverage provision, and perform site surveys with othernetwork implementation teams, in order to verify suitability of thesites for zoning, acquisition and construction.
• Implement high performanceoperational wireless networks which include initial RF network design,re-design, regular design reviews, RF build verification, system RFacceptance, optimization and continuous technical support to all deployment teams.
• Find methods to fine tuneplanning tools, and BTS parameter optimization.
