We’re looking for a field engineer who’s ready to take ownership of their set of DAS networks — keeping systems running smoothly and partners satisfied. With cutting-edge technology at your fingertips and a top-notch team by your side, you’ll have everything you need to succeed. 

As the leader of your venue networks, you’ll need to be highly energetic and customer-focused, with in-depth knowledge of Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) networks. You’ll maintain and enhance system performance, while collaborating with a tight-knit team to tackle complex technical challenges.

Key Responsibilities:

• Optimize network performance by collaborating with system integrators and the operations deployment team during commissioning and integration. 


• Review and approve system integrator reports, ensuring compliance with carrier KPIs. 


• Analyze system health data, including Layer 3 messaging KPIs and carrier RAN metrics, and conduct quality control checks. 


• Perform routine health checks, preventative maintenance, and ensure system performance aligns with original turn-up standards. 


• Generate internal and external performance reports for stakeholders. 


• Conduct system testing, including RF sweep, fiber testing, PIM, and carrier handset testing. 


• Remotely monitor venues, troubleshooting issues, and coordinate subcontractor dispatch when necessary. 


• Build relationships with service providers to enhance system performance through data analysis. 


• Perform benchmark testing, RF site surveys, and create as-builts for new and existing venues. 


• Execute system modifications and additions, including DAS, Small Cell, and Wi-Fi equipment installations, rack stacking, and cable routing. 


• Work with hand and power tools, coaxial PPC compression tools, Cat5/6 terminations, and RF test equipment. 


• Maintain strong technical knowledge of wireless network products and ensure compliance with safety, business conduct, and quality assurance standards. 

Requirements: 

• 3+ years of hands-on experience as a DAS or Cellular Field Engineer. 


• Familiarity with DAS OEMs (e.g., CommScope, JMA, Corning Mobile Access, SOLiD) and their performance benchmarks. 


• Experience managing subcontractors remotely across large regions. 


• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, RF schematics (iBwave / Ekahau), and blueprints. 


• Proficiency in updating reports and trouble tickets. 


• Physical ability to lift 50 lbs., work outdoors, on ladders, and in confined spaces. 


• Experience with electrical wiring, ESD products, and working in construction or installation environments with minimal supervision. 


• Certifications in test equipment (e.g., Anritsu Sweep Master) and connector coring / compression techniques. 


• Basic LAN Layer 1 & 2 troubleshooting, including Cisco CLI knowledge. 


• Formal training or equivalent hands-on experience in basic installation procedures. 


• Willingness to travel within the Southwest region for up to a week and occasionally work shifts outside regular hours.
