Description

Design and implement high-performance WLAN infrastructure to support logistics operations, including warehouses, distribution centers, and transportation hubs. Conduct predictive and on-site wireless site surveys to ensure optimal RF coverage and minimal interference in complex environments. Perform wireless packet captures and trace analysis using tools such as Wireshark, Omnipeek, or vendor-specific platforms to diagnose and resolve complex wireless issues. Support and optimize wireless connectivity for robotic systems such as AGVs, AMRs, robotic picking arms, and conveyor systems that rely on real-time wireless communication. Design, deploy, and maintain microwave data links for high-throughput, point-to-point wireless connectivity between facilities or remote sites. Monitor WLAN and microwave link performance, proactively addressing latency, interference, and throughput issues. Collaborate with automation, operations, and IT teams to ensure wireless infrastructure meets the performance and reliability needs of robotic and IoT systems. Manage WLAN and microwave-related projects including expansions, upgrades, and new facility deployments. Ensure wireless network security and compliance with industry standards and internal policies. Maintain detailed documentation including network diagrams, configurations, and troubleshooting procedures. Mentor junior analysts and provide technical leadership across cross-functional teams. Manage vendor relationships and coordinate support for wireless and microwave hardware and software. Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications, Information Technology, Computer Science, or related field. 10+ years of experience in WLAN design and support, preferably in logistics, warehousing, or manufacturing environments. 10+ years of Experience with enterprise wireless platforms. 10+ years of experience in wireless standards and security protocols. Hands-on experience with microwave data link technologies (e.g., Cambium). CWNA, CWSP, CCNP Wireless, or equivalent. Strong knowledge of 802.11 standards, RF propagation, and wireless security protocols. Proficiency with wireless site survey tools (e.g., AirCheck G3, iBWave, Hamina). Expertise in wireless trace and packet capture tools (e.g., Wireshark, Omnipeek). Familiarity with robotic systems used in logistics (e.g., AGVs, AMRs) and their wireless communication requirements. Experience with microwave backhaul systems, including line-of-sight planning, antenna alignment, and throughput optimization. Knowledge of warehouse management systems (WMS), barcode/RFID technologies, and IoT integration. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Excellent communication and collaboration abilities. Ability to work in fast-paced, physically dynamic environments.
