Engineer Job at Nokia Tanzania

Position: 2G NPO RAN Engineer 

General Purpose:
2G Radio network planning and optimization engineer is responsible for providing radio detail planning, BTS and BSC parameters planning, pre-launch and post-launch quality assurance and optimization services for 2G projects in collaboration with related stakeholders.

Job Grade: 8

Main Responsibility Area:
Technologies: 2G
Vendors: Huawei

Should have knowledge of 2G Basics, Multi-Layer Idle and Dedicated mode parameters and understand behavior of parameter tuning

Required to technically deliver network planning and optimization projects according to the agreed scope of work (SoW)

Performs critical (sometimes escalated) design and performance activities in customer projects independently. These may include complex problem solving in projects with performance requirements and multi-vendor environment

Good Knowledge of 2G Call flow, Familiarity with Power Control and impact of various power setting on the 2G network

Identify and resolve Performance degradation in the network within prescribed timelines

Perform Counter level analysis and problem isolation to arrive at an early RCA to improve network performance.

Traffic balancing using physical and soft parameters while ensuring KPI’s are met.

Good understanding of Huawei BTS hardware

Defines the criteria to assess network performance from end-user / service perspective and monitoring of that criteria

Identifies and anticipates proactively network performance issues (traffic/quality/resiliency) and provides recommendations for improvement

Optimizes the capacity of the network to meet traffic increase and customer requirements using either network extension or existing network modification

Ensures that design & optimization guaranty the capability for the network to provide end-user new services in line with customer environment, business goals/drivers and quality

 To communicate effectively and work with a large team in collaborative mode

Planning BTS site configuration by using RF planning tool (NetAct Planner/Atoll/Asset) and also defining their related parameters: site coordinates, antenna type, antenna height, antenna tilt, antenna azimuth, cable loss, propagation model parameter

 Setting the specific RF parameters for the site to be integrated.

 Analyze site performance after integration through drive test measurements and/or OSS measurements, detecting eventual problems and recommending changes to fixing problem

Defining and monitoring parameter consistency check rules to Maintain BTS /BSC parameter database consistency

Defining and monitoring KPIs reports on network, area and BSC level

Defining and optimizing “worst objects” reports at BTS and BSC level, as well as troubleshoot and recommending the software changes, hardware changes or alerting O&M in case of hardware problem

Huawei 2G parameters detailed knowledge and optimization

 Giving inputs in terms of capacity, quality and coverage for expansion phases Implementing new features required to improve overall radio network performance
