NOC Wireless Engineer (Cellular DAS & WiFi)

Your tasks

We are seeking a skilled NOC Wireless Engineer to provide comprehensive managed network solutions for both Cellular/Public Safety DAS and Enterprise WiFi environments.

This role delivers advanced monitoring, management, and support services—ensuring optimal network performance, HSIA (High-Speed Internet Access) reliability, and mission-critical public safety communications infrastructure for our properties and clients.

Network Monitoring & Performance Management

• Conduct extensive performance and traffic monitoring across Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and WLAN/WiFi architectures.

• Monitor RF signal quality for cellular and WiFi (2.4GHz/5GHz/6GHz) to identify degradation patterns.

• Implement usage data collection and generate actionable insights for both cellular and HSIA traffic.

System Administration & Maintenance

• Perform scheduled firmware and software upgrades for rXg, Ruckus (SmartZone), Meraki, Aruba, and other OEM controllers.

• Define and coordinate OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) routine schedules.

• Maintain and update site-specific documentation, floor plans, and network maps.

• Execute backup and restore procedures for network configurations and databases.

Incident & Change Management

• Manage day-to-day tasks and follow-up communication to properties regarding escalated cases.

• Perform technical impact analysis for proposed changes in both DAS and WiFi environments.

• Conduct post-incident reviews and root cause analysis (RCA) for network outages.

• Coordinate with Cellular DAS deployment and construction teams for general deployment support.

Technical Support & Troubleshooting

• Diagnose equipment failures, connectivity issues, and RF interference.

• Work directly with vendors (Ruckus, Aruba, RGNets, ADRF, Comba, etc.) for complex issues requiring higher-level intervention.

• Assist with field service dispatching and provide remote guidance to field technicians during on-site repairs or deployments.
