Wireless RF Engineer, Fleet

We’re looking for a Wireless RF Engineer who will serve as the technical front line for assessing connectivity at potential deployment sites and ensuring reliable communication before devices go live. This role blends RF engineering expertise with customer-facing collaboration, helping bridge the gap between Gridware products and real-world deployment conditions.

• Provide training and guidance to field technicians and customer stakeholders on connectivity best practices.
• Document site survey results, including RF maps, coverage recommendations, and installation readiness reports.
• Collaborate with field, hardware, and customer-facing teams to develop optimized connectivity protocol to maximize device health and minimize data latency
• Serve as the customer-facing technical expert for all connectivity-related questions during pre-deployment and installation planning.
• Perform RF surveys (cellular, mesh, satellite, or hybrid networks) to determine signal strength, link quality, and optimal device placement.
• Continuously improve field processes, tools, and metrics for assessing and optimizing connectivity at scale.
• Troubleshoot field connectivity issues and provide rapid feedback loops to engineering and operations teams.
• Assess potential installation sites for wireless connectivity and environmental suitability.

• Strong analytical skills with attention to real-world deployment constraints (terrain, interference, power, etc.).
• Experience supporting IoT or distributed sensor networks in diverse environments (i.e. topography, vegetation).
• Demonstrated ability to translate technical findings into clear recommendations for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience with RF site surveys using tools such as spectrum analyzers, field test kits, or network planning software.
• Willingness to travel frequently to field sites (up to ~25%).
• Comfortable in customer-facing environments, managing expectations and explaining technical trade-offs.
• Experience with MATLAB, Python and/or C/C++ for algorithm development, modeling, and simulation.
• Prior experience integrating cellular or mesh connectivity into large-scale sensor or monitoring systems.
• Familiarity with link budget analysis, propagation modeling, and antenna selection.
• Knowledge of GIS tools or spatial mapping for RF visualization.
• 5+ years of experience in RF, wireless, or field network engineering.
• Background working with utility, energy, or infrastructure customers.
• Strong working knowledge of cellular (LTE, 5G), Lora, sub-GHz mesh (802.15.4, Zigbee, Thread), or satellite (NTN, Iridium, etc.) communication systems.
