Define and coordinate OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) routine schedules. 

Maintain and update site-specific documentation, floor plans, and network maps. 

Execute backup and restore procedures for network configurations and databases. 

Incident & Change Management 

Manage day-to-day tasks and follow-up communication to properties regarding escalated cases. 

Perform technical impact analysis for proposed changes in both DAS and WiFi environments. 

Conduct post-incident reviews and root cause analysis (RCA) for network outages. 

Coordinate with Cellular DAS deployment and construction teams for general deployment support. 

Technical Support & Troubleshooting 

Diagnose equipment failures, connectivity issues, and RF interference. 

Work directly with vendors (Ruckus, Aruba, RGNets, ADRF, Comba, etc.) for complex issues requiring higher-level intervention. 

Assist with field service dispatching and provide remote guidance to field technicians during on-site repairs or deployments. 

 

Required Technical Skills 

WiFi & Networking Expertise 

Deep knowledge of 802.11 protocols and HSIA environment requirements. 

Proficiency in Ruckus (SmartZone/Cloud), Cisco Meraki, Aruba Central/ClearPass, and RGNet (rXg). 

Strong understanding of VLANs, DHCP, DNS, and IP routing. 

RF & Telecommunications Expertise 

DAS Architecture: Knowledge of passive, active, and hybrid fiber DAS systems. 

Familiarity with Public Safety Spectrum 

Experience with Spectrum Analyzers and Signal Generators for troubleshooting signal interference. 

Certifications & Experience 

Education & Certifications (preferred but not required) 

CompTIA Network+, Cisco CCNA, or equivalent. 

CWNA (Certified Wireless Network Administrator) or OEM-specific (e.g., Ruckus RAC/RAS, Meraki ECMS1 or CMNO). 

DAS Specific: iBwave Level 2 (preferred) or iBwave Public Safety. 

OEM Certifications: ADRF, Comba, JMA, or CommScope. 

Work Experience 

Minimum 2 years in a NOC environment or RF/Telecommunications role. 

Proven experience in DAS deployment and Enterprise WiFi troubleshooting. 

Experience with HSIA (High-Speed Internet Access) in hospitality or multi-dwelling unit (MDU) environments.
