8. Review and approve tool outputs used in transmission planning, rollout and downstream systems.
9. Ensure alignment with transmission design, deployment, RAN architecture, and capacity planning.
3. Stakeholder Engagement
10. Work closely with transmission designers, engineers, and rollout teams to gather requirements, feedback and improve tool usability.
11. Provide training and support to the users of transmission tools.
4. Innovation & Continuous Improvement
12. Stay updated on industry trends in transmission technologies and planning tools.
13. Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance tool capabilities and design efficiency.
5. Process Automation
14. Identify opportunities for automation in transmission related activities.
15. Develop scripts, templates, and automation pipelines to reduce manual effort and improve turnaround times and accuracy.
Experience you’d be expected to have
16. Strong understanding of RAN transmission technologies (microwave, fibre, IP/MPLS, LEO).
17. Experience with transmission planning tools (e.g., IQLink, EAI, Sitetracker, Spectrum, Circuit Manager, Nemesis, IMS, GIS platforms).
18. Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, VBA) and data handling (Excel, SQL).
19. Familiarity with automation frameworks and software development lifecycle.
20. Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
21. Strong communication and stakeholder management abilities.
22. Degree in Telecommunications, Computer Science, or related field.
23. 5+ years of experience in transmission planning or network design.
24. Experience in tool development or process automation is highly desirable.
