Job Summary: Our client is seeking a highly specialized Wi-Fi / Wireless Network Engineer with deep expertise in RF design, wireless testing, and site surveys. This role is focused exclusively on wireless networking and requires a true subject-matter expert capable of designing, analyzing, validating, and troubleshooting enterprise Wi-Fi environments using industry-standard RF tools. This is not a general network engineering role. The successful candidate will bring hands-on experience designing wireless networks from the RF layer up and validating performance through formal testing and surveys.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and architect enterprise Wi-Fi networks using RF best practices, capacity planning, and performance-driven methodologies.
• Perform predictive, passive, and active wireless site surveys using Ekahau or equivalent wireless design tools.
• Analyze RF conditions, including signal strength, noise, interference, attenuation, and channel utilization, to optimize network performance.
• Validate wireless designs through testing and post-deployment surveys, ensuring coverage, capacity, throughput, and roaming requirements are met.
• Troubleshoot complex wireless performance issues related to RF behavior, interference, and environmental factors.
• Create and maintain wireless design documentation, site survey reports, heatmaps, and technical findings.
• Partner with infrastructure, operations, and business stakeholders to align wireless solutions with operational requirements.
• Provide technical guidance and recommendations related to wireless architecture standards and best practices.
• Support wireless initiatives across corporate offices and clients' private destinations.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience as a Wireless / Wi-Fi Engineer focused on RF design and analysis
• Proven experience using Ekahau for wireless design and site surveys OR deep experience with comparable RF tools (e.g., Hamina, AirMagnet).
• Demonstrated ability to design enterprise wireless networks, not just deploy hardware.
• Experience conducting wireless testing, validation, and post-deployment performance analysis.
• Strong understanding of RF fundamentals (signal propagation, interference, attenuation, channel planning).
• Experience working with enterprise wireless infrastructure environments.
• Ability to clearly communicate technical findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting large-scale or complex environments (hospitality, large campuses, venues, or outdoor deployments).
• Background working with wireless professional services teams or manufacturers.
• Experience supporting globally distributed or travel-based wireless projects.
• Industry certifications related to wireless networking (CWNP, Cisco Wireless, Aruba Wireless, etc.).
