Wi-Fi Surveyor / Wireless RF Engineer

Wi-Fi Surveyor / Wireless RF Engineer

Location: Polivakkam Village, Thiruvallur, Tamil Nadu

Position : Full Time

Availability: Immediate Joiner

Role Overview

We are seeking a seasoned Wi-Fi Surveyor / Wireless RF Engineer to lead the end-to-end wireless RF design, site surveying, and post-deployment optimization for a large-scale industrial and corporate deployment in Thiruvallur. In this high-impact contract role, you will bridge physical RF engineering and enterprise WLAN architecture—eliminating dead zones, mitigating high-density interference, and guaranteeing seamless client roaming across manufacturing plant floors, high-bay warehouses, and office spaces.

Key Responsibilities

  • Wireless Topology & Site Architecture Assessment: Evaluate existing and planned WLAN network topologies, floor plans, building attenuation materials, and client density profiles across industrial and corporate zones.
  • Predictive & Active/Passive RF Site Surveys: Conduct 3D predictive modeling and comprehensive onsite active/passive RF surveys (AP-on-a-Stick) using industry-standard survey kits across complex plant floors, high-rack warehouses, and office environments.
  • Access Point (AP) Placement & Antenna Engineering: Define optimal AP coordinates, mounting heights, bracket orientations, and internal/external directional antenna selections to achieve target signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and primary/secondary coverage thresholds.
  • RF Spectrum Optimization & Roaming Tuning: Perform spectrum analysis to identify co-channel/adjacent-channel interference and non-Wi-Fi noise sources; fine-tune transmit power (Tx), channel widths (20/40/80 MHz across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands), data rates, and 802.11r/k/v roaming parameters for uninterrupted mobility (handheld scanners, AGVs, VoIP).
  • Post-Deployment Validation & Executive Reporting: Execute post-installation validation walk-throughs and deliver comprehensive RF survey documentation, including visual signal/SNR/channel-overlap heat maps, bill of materials (BOM) validation, and actionable remediation checklists.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Experience: 4+ years of proven, hands-on experience in enterprise wireless engineering, WLAN design, and complex RF site surveys.
  • RF Survey Tool Mastery: Advanced proficiency in Ekahau AI Pro / Ekahau Sidekick (or equivalent enterprise RF survey and spectrum analysis platforms).
  • Industrial & High-Bay Environment Expertise: Demonstrated track record designing high-capacity, low-latency Wi-Fi networks for manufacturing plants, logistics warehouses with metal racking, and multi-floor offices.
  • Deep RF & Protocol Knowledge: Strong command of IEEE 802.11 standards (Wi-Fi 6 / 6E / 7), RF propagation physics, attenuation modeling, channel planning, and fast-roaming behavior across enterprise WLAN controllers (Cisco Meraki/Catalyst, Aruba, Ruckus, or Juniper Mist).
  • Documentation & Stakeholder Communication: Ability to translate complex RF findings into clear, structured technical reports and collaborate closely with cabling and network deployment teams on the ground.

Preferred Certifications (Bonus)

  • Certified Wireless Network Administrator (CWNA) or Certified Wireless Design Professional (CWDP)
  • Ekahau Certified Survey Engineer (ECSE) – Design & Troubleshooting
  • Vendor WLAN Certifications (Cisco CCNP Wireless, Aruba ACMP, or Mist AI)
