Senior RAN Engineer – Coverage & Investment Analysis

Corner Alliance is a consulting firm supporting government clients through meaningful, results-oriented work. The Senior RAN Engineer will conduct advanced radio access network analysis to identify coverage gaps, assess impacts on first responder communications, and develop engineering-based investment recommendations. The role also involves reviewing vendor designs, validating program artifacts, and supporting long-term public-safety network planning.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct detailed engineering analysis of AOIs to identify coverage gaps, validate need, assess performance conditions, and quantify potential impacts on Federal client’s network operational performance
• Produce engineering‑based justifications and prioritization recommendations for AOIs, including technical evidence, public safety relevance, feasibility considerations, and investment dependencies
• Review vendor-provided RAN designs, coverage predictions, and technical proposals and provide expert feedback and recommendations for improvement
• Develop and maintain documentation packages, including engineering summaries, AOI analysis reports, technical briefing materials, RF analysis outputs, and traceable decision support artifacts
• Support technical validation of reinvestment program artifacts by performing data quality checks, cross‑dataset comparisons, and verification of vendor‑submitted deliverables
• Participate in technical discussions with internal SMEs, vendor engineering teams, and program leadership to support ongoing AOI refinement, coverage‑enhancement planning, and investment strategy alignment
• Maintain audit‑ready engineering records documenting inputs, assumptions, analytical steps, rationale, recommendations, and technical outcomes
• Provide subject matter expertise to inform future network enhancements, long‑term RAN planning, and public‑safety‑driven coverage improvements
• Carry out our Commitments to Deliver, Grow, and Thrive

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field
• 15+ years of hands-on Radio Access Network (RAN) engineering experience, including design, optimization, performance engineering, and operational support
• Expertise in air interface, propagation, capacity modeling, mobility management, RF engineering, and RAN architecture
• Demonstrated experience using industry-standard RF planning and modeling tools to evaluate and optimize coverage, capacity, and performance
• Proficiency with network design software, RF propagation tools, post-processing tools, drive-test/scan data, crowdsourced data, and GIS-based analytics
• Experience with translating technical findings into investment recommendations, assessing cost/benefit, feasibility, performance impacts, and alignment with strategic objectives
• US citizenship or permanent resident and the ability to pass public trust clearance or suitability
• Experience supporting federal government clients
