Location - Onsite - 5 days/week - Overland Park, KS

Seeking an experienced Radio Frequency (RF) Engineer with strong expertise in Microwave (MW) transport systems, RF Design, and wireless site/infrastructure engineering. The role involves designing, planning, engineering, and optimizing point-to-point and point-to-multipoint microwave links, as well as supporting broader wireless system deployments across utility, industrial, and government environments.

The engineer will utilize tools such as Pathloss 6 and Infovista Planet to perform end-to-end MW link design, fading analysis, path profiling, and feasibility studies. Responsibilities include creating installation drawings, generating Bills of Materials (BOMs), preparing cost estimates, executing advanced wireless engineering tasks, providing technical leadership, and serving as a subject matter expert in MW backhaul design, wireless system integration, and field validation.

Key responsibilities:

• Perform link budget calculations, reliability analysis, and path feasibility studies for wireless systems.
• Design, model, and optimize MW links using Pathloss 6, including terrain profiling, diffraction analysis, fade margin calculations, and link availability.
• Conduct MW path surveys, including line-of-site (LOS) verification, obstacle identification, structure validation, and documentation.
• Optimize MW links for capacity, availability, and interference mitigation within licensed and unlicensed bands.
• Evaluate and integrate MW radio platforms (e.g., Nokia, Aviat).
• Review and validate MW radio and antenna configurations, tower loading considerations, and equipment specifications.
• Design, model, and optimize wireless technologies such as Narrow Band, LTE/5G, Land Mobile Radio using Infovista Planet, covering coverage analysis, frequency assignment, and interference analysis.
• Support RFP responses, LOE calculations, and technical evaluations of client requirements.
• Serve as a technical specialist to communicate complex RF engineering concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborate with project management to meet project scope, schedule, and budget goals.
• Create comprehensive Bill of Materials for telecom sites.
• Document and implement site installation standards, including grounding for telecom equipment.
• Provide guidance on construction drawings.
• Support equipment installation and site integration on-site.
• Hands‑on configuration experience with MW radios is a plus.
• Support business development and pursuit activities.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related Communications field.
• Eligible to work in the U.S. without sponsorship.
• Professional Engineering License (PE) preferred but not required.
• 5+ years of wireless communications related work experience.
• Utility experience strongly preferred.
• Experience with client‑facing presentations and delivering technical workshops.
• Experience writing and delivering MOPs, processes, testing procedures, and technical documents.
