Job Description
Deployment Engineer, Cellular
Meter builds the infrastructure modern businesses depend on to stay connected. On the Cellular team, we design and deploy multi-operator in-building cellular that just works—integrated with Meter’s hardware, software, and managed service model.
Meter’s Cellular team is scaling from a handful of deployments to hundreds—expanding to hundreds of millions of square feet. We need a Deployment Engineer who can turn designs into on-air, carrier-accepted deployments—owning provisioning, integration, troubleshooting, and go-live at scale.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
- Capacity & quality: Keep pace with new deployments while sustaining a high bar for quality while we experience unprecedented growth. Your goal is to have a high rate of error-free deployments, near-perfect acceptance by the carriers, keep deployments on-time, and maintain a single source of technical truth for tracking across deployments.
- Standardization in production: Roll out v1 playbooks and vendor scorecards to make deployments repeatable and predictable. Create processes and automations that allow deployments to be quick to configure, error-free, and meaningfully reduce the amount of time spent troubleshooting per deployment.
- High visibility, low errors: Spin up tools and dashboards that flag post-live issues early so we fix them before customers feel it—keeping carrier KPIs tight and the customer experience solid.
- Own problems: Identify problems that are hindering our ability to scale quickly, propose what needs to be done to remove those blockers, implement the fix and/or quarterback the change across teams.
WHAT YOUR DAY-TO-DAY WILL LOOK LIKE
You’ll be the point person from rack/stack through go-live: bring up basebands and RUs, integrate with Meter networking, drive E911 readiness, and leave behind repeatable installs that shorten time to go-live.
- Remote provisioning & integration: Push software/licenses, configure basebands/RUs (PLMN/bands, neighbor lists, sync/PTP, IP/VLANs, alarms), and bring nodes on-air.
- KPI verification & issue coordination: Pull/analyze logs, confirm KPIs (RSRP/SINR/RSRQ, attach, handovers, throughput), and open/drive remediations with field partners.
- E911 readiness: Validate test call flows and routing, ensure provisioning is complete and sign-off criteria are met ahead of carrier testing.
- Remote troubleshooting: Triage L1/L2/L3 alarms and RF symptoms from traces/counters, issue config changes, guide onsite techs, and communicate to carriers/vendors with clarity and detail.
- Close-out & carrier submissions: Assemble carrier-ready packages (as-builts, E911 logs, throughput data, photos), manage comment cycles to first-pass closure.
- Standardize & improve: Maintain golden configs/procedures and pre-checks, script automation, update dashboards, and occasionally travel onsite for tough post-deploy issues or benchmarking.
WHO YOU ARE
We’re hiring someone who is energized by the chance to help build a product that will touch millions of people soon—and you want that level of responsibility. Your passion for your technical domain should be palpable and you’re excited about scaling. You can work with ambiguity and little direction: you see an issue, fix it, and figure out how to not make that mistake for the next hundred deployments in the pipeline.
- Remote-first integrator: You can bring multi-operator indoor small-cell systems on-air from your desk—loading software/licenses, setting PLMNs and neighbor lists, wiring up sync/PTP, IP/VLANs, and verifying connectivity.
- Methodical troubleshooter: You can troubleshoot like a pro—dig through logs/traces and real customer feedback, pin down the issue, ship the fix, watch the KPIs, and solve it for good.
- Carrier acceptance–driven: You know what each carrier needs to go-live and execute towards deploying with 100% first-pass carrier closure.
- Turns fixes into standards: Each site improves the golden configs, procedures, and pre-checks. ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
