Troubleshoot wireless and RF systems including Cellular DAS, Wi-Fi, IoT/ISM-based systems, and show communication systems. Maintain working knowledge of wireless technologies including LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi HaLow, Bluetooth, Zigbee, GNSS, Clear-Com, and other operational/show systems. Understand coexistence challenges across multiple frequency bands and technologies. Develop and maintain documentation detailing wireless system locations, frequency usage, and expected coverage areas. Produce RF coordination records, validation reports, and coverage maps. Identify, track, and mitigate RF interference issues across multiple systems and stakeholders. Support spectrum analysis and recommend corrective actions to maintain system performance.
