Senior RF Engineer | LTE Network Design & Optimisation
Perth, WA | Contract Opportunity

Experienced RF Design Engineers, Radio Optimisation Engineers and LTE Specialists keen to take on more technical responsibility?

This is an opportunity to play a key role in a major rail communications project, leading the RF design and optimisation work while staying close to the technical detail.

You'll work across LTE radio network planning, design, testing and acceptance, with responsibility for guiding specialist engineers and working directly with technical stakeholders.

If you've built strong RF expertise and enjoy leading complex technical work, this could be worth a chat.

What's On Offer

• Major Rail Infrastructure Project – Apply your LTE and RF expertise to a large-scale railway communications network, with exposure to specialist operational requirements.
• Technical Leadership – Lead RF planning, testing and optimisation engineers across local and remote teams, while remaining involved in technical delivery.
• Stay Hands-On – Work across RF design, network performance, testing and optimisation rather than moving into a purely management role.
• Specialist Engineering Exposure – Collaborate with engineers across RAN, core networks, cyber security, safety and other technical disciplines.
• Have a Say in Technical Decisions – Take ownership of RF deliverables, design reviews and technical discussions with customers and project stakeholders.
• Broaden Your Project Experience – Gain exposure to design verification, acceptance testing, technical workshops and project delivery requirements.
• Perth Based Contract – Bring your specialist RF knowledge to a major infrastructure project with defined technical responsibilities.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead LTE RF planning, design, testing and optimisation activities, ensuring technical deliverables meet project requirements through to acceptance.
• Guide RF planning, testing and optimisation engineers, review technical documentation and coordinate design verification activities.
• Work with customers, engineering leads and project teams on technical requirements, design changes, project progress and complex RF issues.

What Will Make You Successful

• Experience in LTE radio networks, RF planning, design and optimisation, including hands-on experience with relevant RF engineering tools.
• Previous experience leading technical activities or engineering teams, with the ability to manage RF deliverables and work directly with customers.
• Experience across complex telecommunications or infrastructure projects. Rail, tunnel or in-building coverage design experience will be highly regarded. Australian Permanent Residency or Citizenship required.

Why Apply?

If you're an experienced RF Engineer who enjoys complex technical work and wants the chance to lead the radio engineering side of a major project, we'd be happy to have a chat.

If you're interested to hear more, apply now and we look forward to speaking with you.
