• Coordinated with Construction & Implementation teams when sweep/PIM results are failing, worked to ensure problems are resolved in a timely manner
• Kept a good database of results and status of Close Out package reviews
• Created search areas and reviewed search area candidates within geographic area by taking into consideration baseline, performance issues, capacity, topography, and population.
• Verified CD’s and LE’s for approval.
• Created projects for new sites and upgrades for Macro and Small Cell sites for 4G/5G and NR technologies, analyzed RF coverage using propagation modeling and prediction tools (Atoll and Atoll ACP), built sites in Atoll.
• Created site design RFDS and completed plumbing diagrams, for 4G and 5G technologies on MACRO and SC design.
• Provided support for Construction, Equipment departments, as well as for contractors during construction at the sites.
• Worked directly with Performance team in order to insure the normal operation of the network.
• Performed ring search analysis, created new projects and designed new sites end - to-end; occasional site visits.
• Evaluated coverage problems and requirements for coverage and capacity cells.
• Utilized propagation tools and other RF related equipment such as MapInfo, ATOLL, iBwave, Datapro for site candidate comparison, propagation and coverage review and selection, zoning and regulatory.
• Determination of regulatory coverage boundaries for extensions, FAA/FCC filings.
• Ensured 100% regulatory requirements are met in every phase of design project.
• Evaluated site compliance with health, safety, and environmental requirements.
