Microwave Engineer

Microwave Engineering Roles and responsibilities.Experience 5-10 yearslocation noida gurgaonVerify New Nominal details (Technology, Capacity requirement & Site details etc.) received from Planning team.Check Bandwidth requirement per site with respect to Spectrum and technology associated with it(2G/3G/4G/5G).Plot new sites in existing network on planning tools (Ex. Pathloss, Global mapper, Mapinfo, QGIS etc.)Check the possibility to extend fiber to New nominals with fiber teamExecute Desktop Planning from Existing/New Fiber POP's to meet the existing Bandwidth criteria/or Propose the MW topology as per compromised BW in lieu of the existing fiber POP's onlyFinalize 3 best possible Far Ends to connect nominal via Microwave by doing desktop Survey for LOS as per customer guidelines.Assign task to field team for physical LOS verification & RFAI Survey(Space & Power requirement, Access issues etc.)Verify LOS Survey Report.Pre check KPIs of Existing MW link of proposed Far End.Prepare the Link Budget as per planning guidelines(RSL, Fade Margin, Availability, Interference etc.) and capacity requirements.Share New proposed MW hops with HW/SW upgrade required and existing links.Prepare DCN plan for NMS/EMS visibility using customer provided details.Share Link budget, BOQ & DCN Plan with Deployment team.Material Dispatch and I&C completed by team.Site Integration, Traffic shifting & visibility done in NMS.Handover Takeover(HOTO) completed after Quality check is performed by doing Acceptance Test(AT) at site.Regulatory compliance Application.MW software capacity upgradesResponsible for maintaining integrity of all engineering recordsMaintaining design standards and guidelines for microwave systems in compliance with all government and safety requirementsPreparation of Engineering planning/design specifications for changes to the IPRAN/UAT Network.Maintaining design standards and guidelines for microwave systems in compliance with all government and safety requirements.Preparation for Engineering planning/design specifications for changes to the IPRAN/UAT Network.Performing microwave path analysis using Pathloss 6, digitized topographic maps and field surveys.Designed microwave links and ordered equipment using Pathloss & MICS (MW system channel selection, conducting interference studies, frequency coordination with other system(s) and/or operators using MICS database, or other analysis tools).Generating RE work orders for third party towers and rooftops.Working knowledge of Industry Canada policies and relevant Standard Radio System Plans (SRSPs).Provided New Site LoS Qualification.Managed contractors, biddings, quotes, project assignment and purchase orders approval, defining scope of work and design criteria.Lead the National 5G Rollout Transmission design and capacity upgrade projects from initiation phase, planning phase, design phase and supported implementation to make sure the project is completed according to plan and within budget.Predicted the challenges that will face the project during implementation and make sure engineers and contractors are aware of them. Insured that design is optimizedto minimize the impact of these obstacles. Prepared workaround plans to remedy the forecasted issues.Trained newly hired Microwave Engineers and couch them to make sure they understand the design criteria and requirements. Familiarized them with the process of transmission system design and Pathloss 5 modules.Design E-Band links, multi-Band hops including 8+0 (hRLB), 3+0/4+0 with dual-Band (E-Band) antennas

Prepare and finalize both Software (SWUP) & Hardware (HWUP) upgrade designs for existing hops based on traffic utilizationPrepare Material Order Requests (MORs), and Engineering Design Specifications for New Site Builds (NSBs) and Hardware Upgrade (HWUP) designsMICS checks/Interference analysis using FCSA web/cloud platformPrepare and file ISED MW license applications for various designsPlanned, designed and managed various special projects from the beginning , including EORN, Algonquin Park project, HWY16 (West) MW corridor, MW Transport de-Risking, Solar Eclipse COT/COWs MW designs, etc..Helped review existing MW EDS (Engineering Design Specifications) templates and create new ones where required for special purposesPrepare Real Estate Work Orders (REWOs) and collocation forms for 3rd party sitesSupport field engineers remotely on engineering related issues during microwave links’ commissioning and review test resultsProvided training to Intern/some new team members on MW design methodology and Customer’s EDSMaintaining Customer’s design standards and guidelines for MW systems.Performing MW path analysis using Pathloss 5, digitized topographic maps and field surveys.MW system channel selection, conducting interference studies, frequency coordination with other system(s) and/or operators using MICS database, or other analysis tools.Generating engineering design submissions for implementation of new MW transport systems, or upgrades to existing, including HW upgrades or SW re-provisioning.Generating RE work orders for Customer’s third -party towers and rooftops.Generating license applications and supporting documentation required by Industry CanadaISED for license application submissions.Providing technical support to network operations, contractors or vendors during implementation of new systems or fault resolution on existing systems.Performs project management activities of moderate complexity(LM1) (VS2) , including providing forecasts and reports on MW design Deliverables
