RF engineer with eight years planning, optimising and troubleshooting mobile networks for operators and vendors in the UK. Designs cell layouts, tunes RF parameters, and analyses drive-test and performance data to squeeze the best coverage and capacity from the network. Led the RF optimisation on a 4G/5G rollout that lifted key performance indicators and cut dropped-call rates across the cluster. Handles antenna planning, interference analysis and the move toward 5G NR, working closely with planning and field teams. Strong on the maths and the tools, and methodical chasing down a tricky coverage or interference problem. Looking for an RF or network-optimisation engineering role with an operator or vendor pushing network performance.

Work Experience

Britcom Network Services - Birmingham, UK

RF Engineer April 2017 to Present 9 years & 4 months

Plan cell layouts and tune RF parameters to optimise coverage and capacity across the network clusters.
Led RF optimisation on a 4G/5G rollout that lifted KPIs and cut dropped-call rates across the cluster.
Analyse drive-test and performance data to find and fix coverage, capacity and interference issues quickly.
Handle antenna planning, tilt and azimuth changes and interference analysis on the live networks.
Work closely with the planning and field teams through deployment, integration and final acceptance.
Support the network's migration toward 5G NR with new-site planning and careful parameter tuning.

Midlands Telecom Engineering - Birmingham, UK

Network Optimisation Engineer (Junior) August 2015 to March 2017 1 year & 8 months

Supported RF optimisation with drive testing, data analysis and parameter changes.
Learned planning tools, KPI analysis and interference troubleshooting on the job.
Assisted on site integration and acceptance for new cells across the network.
Ran drive tests and processed the data that guided optimisation decisions.
Gained an RF planning certification and progressed to a full RF-engineer role.

Midlands Telecom - Birmingham, UK

Drive-Test Technician June 2013 to July 2015 2 years & 2 months

Carried out RF drive testing and collected network-performance data across regions.
Logged coverage, interference and dropped-call data for the RF optimisation team.
Learned the RF basics, test equipment and network KPIs on the job.
Built the grounding that led into a full network-optimisation role.
Education

University of Birmingham

BEng (Hons) Electronic & Communications Engineering (September 2011 to June 2015)

Engineering degree covering RF, communications systems and signal processing, with a placement year. The placement led into mobile-network engineering. Built the technical foundation behind RF work.

Mobile Networks Training Institute

Certification in RF Planning & Optimisation (5G NR) (January 2018 to June 2018)

Certification in RF planning, optimisation and 5G NR fundamentals. It deepened the optimisation and 5G skills central to the role. Applied directly to the network rollout work.
Highlights

Lifted network KPIs

Led RF optimisation on a 4G/5G rollout that improved key performance indicators and cut dropped-call rates across the cluster. Better RF tuning translated directly into a network customers could feel.

Solved tough RF problems

Tracked down stubborn coverage and interference issues through careful drive-test and data analysis. Methodical RF troubleshooting is what keeps a live network performing.
Key Projects

Metro 5G NR Rollout

RF Engineer (January 2020 to June 2021)

Planned and optimised the RF for a metro-wide 5G NR rollout, dimensioning sites, tuning parameters and drive-testing the cluster to acceptance against the KPI targets.

In-Building DAS Deployment

RF Engineer (January 2022 to August 2022)

Designed and commissioned a distributed-antenna system for a large venue, modelling coverage and balancing the cells so capacity held up under full crowd load.
Certifications

RF Planning & Optimisation (5G NR)

Mobile Networks Training Institute (June 2018 to Present)

Certification in RF planning, optimisation and 5G NR fundamentals. It deepened the optimisation and 5G skills central to the role. Applied directly to the network rollout work.

Antenna Systems & Drive-Test Tools

Mobile Networks Training Institute (April 2019 to Present)

Certification in antenna systems, drive-test tools and RF measurement for mobile networks. It supports the planning, tuning and interference analysis carried out on live 4G and 5G networks.
