Veltris - Telecom Automation Engineer - Distributed Antenna Systems

Job Description Position Overview We are seeking a highly skilled Telecom Automation Engineer with strong experience in iBwave design, DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems), and hands-on capability to develop and automate workflows on the ECSite platform. The ideal candidate will combine telecom design expertise with modern automation skills to accelerate design-to-deployment cycles-from 30 minutes down to 15 minutes-through scripting, UI automation, monitoring, and rapid proof-of-concept (POC) development. Key Responsibilities - DAS Workflow Development & Optimization : - Design, enhance, and automate DAS workflows within the ECSite platform. - Integrate iBwave design processes with ECSite tools to streamline end-to-end project execution. - Identify inefficiencies in current workflows and develop automated solutions to remove manual steps. - Python Scripting & UI Automation : - Develop robust Python scripts to support telecom design, validation, and deployment tasks. - Build Selenium-based UI automation to accelerate frequently performed platform activities. - Ensure scripts are modular, reusable, version-controlled, and maintainable. - System Monitoring & Quality Assurance : - Implement monitoring dashboards to track workflow performance, automation success rates, and design consistency. - Create automated test cases to ensure reliability and accuracy of ECSite workflows. - Analyze system logs and outputs to proactively identify issues and implement corrections. - Gap Identification & Continuous Improvement : - Conduct gap analysis across current DAS design-to-deployment processes. - Recommend enhancements based on data-driven insights and operational pain points. - Collaborate with telecom engineers, product teams, and field deployment teams to drive process improvements. - Rapid Prototyping & POC Development : - Build quick, functional POCs to validate new ideas, tools, or workflows. - Showcase new automation modules for stakeholder review and approval. - Iterate rapidly based on feedback to deliver production-ready features. Required Skills & Qualifications - Telecom Expertise - 3-7 years of experience in Telecom / RF Engineering. - Strong understanding of DAS design principles, RF fundamentals, and site deployment processes. - Solid experience with iBwave Design tools and best practices. Technical Skills - Proficiency in Python for scripting and process automation. - Strong experience with Selenium (WebDriver, automation architecture, test frameworks). - Familiarity with telecom deployment platforms (e.g., ECSite or similar). - Good knowledge of API integrations, JSON/XML workflows, and automation frameworks. Analytical & Operational Skills - Ability to map end-to-end telecom workflows and identify optimization opportunities. - Strong troubleshooting skills across RF design, platform workflows, and automation layers. - Experience with dashboards, monitoring tools, or log analysis (Grafana, Kibana, etc. is a plus). Soft Skills - Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration. - Ability to work in agile, fast-paced environments. - Strong ownership mindset and willingness to solve complex problems with minimal Qualifications : - Experience with cloud-based platforms (AWS, Azure) for automation and monitoring. - Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, Git, and DevOps principles. - Exposure to field deployment workflows for indoor/outdoor DAS projects. - Familiarity with mobile network KPIs and telecom standards. Performance Goals (First 6 Months) - Automate key DAS workflows to reduce design-to-deployment cycle from 30 minutes to 15 minutes. - Build a minimum of 3-5 automation modules integrating Python + Selenium + ECSite. - Implement monitoring dashboards for performance, usage, and error tracking. - Deliver 2-3 quick POCs demonstrating new automation or workflow improvement ideas. - Achieve measurable improvements in workflow accuracy, speed, and reliability.
