• Prepare detailed written reports outlining cost estimates, timelines, and technical strategies.
• Develop and deliver presentations recommending actions based on impact analyses of design decisions in relation to current and future network requirements.
• Analyze customer requirements for additional network services, including wireless access points and integration of wireless hardware with voice and data communications systems.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for wireless technology within the Network department.
• Ensure all deliverables from in-house staff and contractors are completed accurately and on schedule.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE

• You have a Bachelors degree with 8 years of experience engineering wireless solutions.
• You have in-depth knowledge of radio frequency (RF) theory, wave propagation, and antenna fundamentals, enabling effective wireless design and troubleshooting.
• You were responsible for identifying and mitigating RF interference from co-channel and external sources using spectrum analysis tools.
• You have performed both active and passive wireless site surveys and applied findings to develop optimized and scalable wireless network designs.
• You have hands-on experience with RF planning and propagation modeling tools to generate accurate coverage predictions and system layouts.
• You are skilled in using spectrum analyzers and wireless client tools to assess network environments and resolve performance or security issues.
• You have designed, deployed, and supported Cisco wireless LANs, including configuration of anchor controllers, FlexConnect access points, and wireless authentication protocols.
• You have extensive experience with Cisco wireless controllers (e.g., 5500 series) and access points (e.g., 1550 and 3600 series), including lightweight and autonomous modes.
• You are proficient in using Cisco Prime, WCS, and Mobility Services Engine for wireless monitoring, management, and troubleshooting.
• You have configured secure WLANs using protocols such as PEAP and RADIUS and are familiar with 802.1X/802.11i wireless security standards.
• You have expertise in detecting rogue access points and wireless threats using specialized monitoring and security tools.
• You have developed and tested custom WLAN configurations in lab environments to validate new devices and system performance.
• You have measured wireless performance using tools such as throughput analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and Cisco Prime-based data collection systems.
• You are experienced in using Cisco debug commands and wireless protocol analyzers to diagnose complex connectivity and performance issues.
• You possess strong knowledge of wired networking concepts, including switching, routing, VLANs, trunking, aggregated ports, subnets, and protocols.
• You have recent, verifiable experience designing and implementing Cisco-based wireless systems in transit industry environments, supporting critical infrastructure needs.

TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS

• No travel is expected for this position, and it will be 100% remote.
