RF (Radio Frequency) Engineer
Location: Central Africa
Experience: 8-10 Years
Education: Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering,
computer science
Duties and Responsibilities
RF Engineers specialize in designing, implementing and
maintaining wireless communication systems. The following duties and
responsibilities illustrate what that looks like broken down into tangible
tasks
Optimize the Performance of Existing Wireless Networks
Think of how the wireless Internet on our smartphones has
gone from 1G to 4G LTE. That progress is the result of RF Engineers running
constant evaluations on network KPIs, as well as performing regular maintenance
on existing equipment.
Design RF Schematics for New Wireless Networks
Another core duty of the RF Engineer is to design RF
schematics for constructing new wireless networks. For those who work in the
telecommunications industry, this can involve surveying acquired land for
optimal positioning of communication towers. This data is then analyzed and
used to create a custom plan for bringing the team’s vision to reality.
Ensure Regulatory Standards are Met
Anyone who works in a regulated industry, such as
telecommunications, is required by the FCC to pass a series of State Licensure
Exams. RF Engineers use the information learned during this licensure process
to ensure complete compliance with FCC regulations.
Analyze Equipment and Identify Areas for Improvement
A fair portion of an RF Engineer’s time is spent out in the
field either installing new broadcasting equipment or maintaining current
equipment. This includes analyzing equipment functionality and recommending
upgrades to decision-makers as necessary.
Communicate Data Using Digital Software
Making sense of wireless network KPIs in a way that
decision-makers will understand is an important part of an RF Engineer’s job.
According to our research of RF Engineer job descriptions, this is typically
done using Excel spreadsheets.
