RF Leakage Test Engineer (CATV/Coax)

United States

About the Role

We are looking for an RF Leakage & Field Test Engineer to lead detection, measurement, and mitigation of RF signal leakage across broadband, CATV, and wireless distribution networks.

This role bridges RF engineering and field operations, combining hands-on testing with analytical troubleshooting to ensure signal integrity, regulatory compliance, and superior customer experience.

You’ll work with a cross-functional team of RF engineers, field technicians, and compliance teams, applying your wireless field experience and instrumentation expertise to optimize network performance.

Key Responsibilities

  • RF Leakage Detection & Measurement:

    • Perform network-wide RF leakage tests using advanced detection systems (Trilithic / VIAVI Seeker / Searcher series, Spectrum Analyzers).

    • Conduct drive testing and site-based measurements to locate and quantify leakage points.

    • Utilize GPS mapping and tagging tools for accurate localization and reporting.

  • Field Testing & Troubleshooting:

    • Identify interference sources, analyze spectrum data, and recommend corrective actions.

    • Validate network shielding, grounding, and isolation integrity to prevent ingress and egress.

    • Collaborate with RF design and network engineering teams to resolve persistent signal leakage issues.

  • Regulatory Compliance & Reporting:

    • Maintain Cumulative Leakage Index (CLI) metrics within regulatory limits (FCC/DoT/ITU).

    • Prepare detailed leakage reports, field summaries, and compliance documentation.

    • Support internal and external audits and assist during FCC inspections.

  • Network Optimization & Collaboration:

    • Partner with network and construction teams for system upgrades or new builds.

    • Apply RF fundamentals to improve network quality, reduce interference, and enhance coverage performance.

Qualifications

  • Diploma / B.Tech / B.E. in Electronics, Telecommunications, or Electrical Engineering.

  • Strong understanding of RF fundamentals, signal propagation, shielding, and EMC/EMI compliance.

  • Hands-on experience with RF measurement instruments (spectrum analyzers, leakage detectors, field strength meters).

  • Familiarity with CATV / Broadband DOCSIS / LTE / 5G systems and FCC CLI testing standards.

  • Proficiency in field testing, data logging, and technical reporting.

  • Ability to work independently in outdoor and field environments.

Preferred Experience

  • Prior experience in RF field engineering, drive testing, or network optimization (cellular, cable, or broadcast).

  • Exposure to Planet, TEMS, Nemo, XCAL, or similar RF analysis tools.

  • RF/EMC Compliance Certification and/or Safety Training for Field Work.

Soft Skills

  • Analytical problem-solver with strong technical curiosity.

  • Excellent documentation and communication skills.

  • Team-oriented but capable of working independently in the field.

  • Commitment to safety, accuracy, and regulatory compliance.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

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.
