Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This opportunity supports a rapidly growing wireless infrastructure organization delivering advanced DAS and in-building wireless solutions across both public safety and commercial environments. The role is highly impactful, placing engineers at the critical final phase of system deployment where performance, optimization, and reliability are defined. Engineers operate with a high degree of autonomy, working on complex systems across diverse markets while leveraging cutting-edge RF technologies. This is an ideal opportunity for experienced professionals seeking meaningful technical ownership, strong compensation potential, and the ability to contribute to high-priority, large-scale wireless deployments.
Overview
We are seeking seasoned Wireless / RF Field Technicians to support the final deployment, testing, and optimization of DAS and in-building wireless systems. This is a field-based role requiring extensive travel, where engineers will be responsible for ensuring system performance, troubleshooting issues, and delivering fully commissioned, high-quality wireless solutions.
The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise in RF systems, DAS installation and commissioning, and the ability to operate independently in fast-paced, high-impact environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform commissioning, optimization, and final system validation for DAS and in-building wireless systems
- Conduct site surveys, signal testing, and performance analysis
- Troubleshoot RF systems, including public safety and cellular DAS networks
- Perform line sweeping, PIM testing, and fiber/coax testing
- Coordinate with general contractors, subcontractors, vendors, carriers, and AHJs on-site
- Lead and instruct field teams on best practices and system requirements
- Install and support DAS components including antennas, splitters, repeaters, amplifiers, and head-end equipment
- Terminate N-type connectors and install coaxial cabling (including ½” coax)
- Mount antennas (including Yagi antennas) and associated hardware
- Plan cable pathways and support installation logistics
- Maintain accurate commissioning data, test results, and closeout documentation
- Provide weekly project updates and ensure quality control across deployments
- Ensure compliance with safety standards, including OSHA requirements
- Support integration with fire alarm systems and monitoring panels where applicable
- Deliver strong customer service and maintain professional communication on-site
Required Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience in DAS, wireless, or RF field environments (senior-level experience strongly preferred)
- Extensive knowledge of RF theory (public safety and cellular systems)
- Experience commissioning and optimizing DAS systems
- Experience installing DAS or in-building cellular systems
- Hands-on experience with Cat5, fiber, and coaxial cable installation
- Experience with fiber testing, fusion splicing, and coax sweep testing
- Proficiency with test equipment such as OTDR, spectrum analyzers (e.g., Anritsu), and signal generators
- Ability to read and interpret blueprints, Visio drawings, and construction documentation
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
- Ability to coordinate with multiple stakeholders including contractors and customers
- Strong understanding of relay logic and DAS integration with fire alarm systems
- Ability to work independently in a field-based, travel-heavy role
- Strong communication and documentation skills
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with PIM testing and advanced RF diagnostics
- Experience working with multiple OEM systems and connection types
- OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification
- CPR / First Aid certification
- EMT or First Responder system installation experience (preferred but not required)
Work Environment / Additional Information
- Field-based role with approximately 80% travel (typically on-site during weekdays, home on weekends)
- Reduced travel possible for candidates located near key hubs (e.g., Ohio, Iowa, Texas, Arizona)
- High-autonomy role requiring independent work and decision-making
- Fast-paced environment supporting active wireless infrastructure deployments
- Strong emphasis on safety, quality, and technical excellence
Compensation
- $90,000 – $140,000+ annually based on experience
- Benefits include 401(k), medical, dental, vision insurance, and paid time off
