Associate Engineer-Electrical

Job Description
Object Technology Solutions, Inc (OTSI) has an immediate opening for a Associate Engineer-Electrical / Radio Frequency Engineer

Location - Onsite - 5 days/week - Overland Park, KS

Job Description:

Seeking an experienced Radio Frequency (RF) Engineer with strong expertise in Microwave (MW) transport systems, RF Design, and wireless site/infrastructure engineering. In this role, you will design, plan, engineer, and optimize point-to-point and point-to-multipoint microwave links, and support broader wireless system deployments across utility, industrial, and government environments.

The engineer will utilize tools such as Pathloss 6 and Infovista Planet to perform end-to-end MW link design, fading analysis, path profiling, and path feasibility studies. You will also support wireless system engineering activities including creating installation drawings, generating Bills of Materials (BOMs), and preparing cost estimates for wireless solutions.

You will independently execute advanced wireless engineering tasks, provide technical leadership, and serve as a subject matter expert (SME) in MW backhaul design, wireless system integration, and field validation. Responsibilities include performing path surveys, validating MW RF designs, optimizing system performance, configuring radio equipment, preparing radio and antenna installation documentation, and supporting clients through all stages of the wireless system lifecycle.

This position offers opportunities to collaborate with cross functional teams and engage with major MW and wireless equipment providers such as Nokia, Aviat, Ericsson, and others. Occasional travel to client sites for path and site surveys, inspections, and system validation is required.

As a Wireless Engineer, you will lead and execute MW and Wireless engineering activities across the full project lifecycle-from initial survey and design through implementation, testing, and optimization. You will act as a technical specialist in Microwave backhaul systems, advising clients on system performance, coverage, interference mitigation, reliability, and compliance with applicable standards.

The RF engineer will utilize Pathloss 6 and Infovista Planet to design and optimize MW and other wireless networks. The RF Engineer may support proposal development, scope refinement, level-of-effort (LOE) estimation, and technical evaluations for project pursuits.
