Profession
5G Network Engineer
Connectivity infrastructure of the future
You design, deploy, and keep alive the wireless networks that carry phone calls and data across cities. Day to day you plan where towers and small cells go, configure the radio and core equipment, run tests to squeeze out interference, and troubleshoot when coverage drops. Some of the work is at a desk modeling coverage and capacity; some is in the field with technicians walking a site. You collaborate with carriers, equipment vendors, and city officials, since a new antenna touches permits, power, and real estate as much as it touches technology.
