Senior RF Engineer – Wireless Survey (Contract)

United States

Overview

We’re seeking a Senior RF Engineer to perform on-site assessment and documentation of the current wireless design and system configurations within a factory environment in Austin, TX. This role centers on capturing the as-is state—topology, configurations, access point inventory/placement, and operational policies—across environments using Aruba AirWave and Mist. The engineer will validate what’s deployed, identify gaps or inconsistencies, and produce clear, client-ready documentation of the existing implementation.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct on-site wireless surveys/walkthroughs (active/passive) across factory floors and adjacent areas to document the current RF environment and note coverage/roaming pain points.
  • Inventory and record access points (make/model, location, mounting, cabling path, controller/tenant association) and confirm current channel/power settings as deployed.
  • Pull and document controller/management configurations (Aruba AirWave, Mist): SSIDs, authentication/segmentation, RF profiles, band-steering, client limits, and policy sets.
  • Create as-built documentation: annotated floor plans, AP inventory lists, configuration baselines, network/SSID diagrams, and an exceptions log (mismatches, deprecated settings, or policy drift).
  • Review findings with client stakeholders; capture action items and risks without delivering new design artifacts (e.g., no heat maps, signal-capacity reports, or new power plans).
  • Adhere to site safety protocols (PPE, escorts, access windows) and complete required check-ins/permits.
  • Provide concise daily progress notes and a final as-is documentation package at project close.

Qualifications

Must-Have

  • Senior-level experience performing wireless surveys and RF documentation in production/industrial spaces.
  • Hands-on familiarity with Aruba AirWave and Mist (reading/exporting configs, device inventories, and policy sets).
  • Strong documentation skills: clear, client-ready reports, annotated floor plans, diagrams, and configuration summaries.
  • Ability to walk the factory floor for extended periods; comfortable navigating ladders/mezzanines as permitted by safety policy.

Nice-to-Have

  • Experience with survey/tooling (e.g., Ekahau/AirMagnet, Sidekick), spectrum analysis, and RF fundamentals across 2.4/5/6 GHz.
  • Background in manufacturing or large campus wireless environments.
  • Working knowledge of cabling standards/low-voltage coordination and facilities interfaces.
  • Background check eligibility and adherence to EHS requirements.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
