Our Technology team wakes up every day with one goal in mind - connecting Canadians to the people and things that matter most. Together, we are proud to support 30 million Canadians each month through managing a robust portfolio that champions leading-edge technology. We drive large-scale, complex, and high-visibility technology projects and programs that shape the future of technology in Canada and expand connectivity from coast to coast.

Who we are looking forCome be part of the team that manages Canada’s most reliable 5G network and shapes the next evolution of intelligent, automated wireless networks. We are looking for a Senior RAN Designer to join our RAN Engineering and Innovation team. This role is focused on improving wireless network performance, customer experience, capacity, reliability, and operational efficiency across 4G, 5G NSA, 5G SA, and emerging 5G Advanced capabilities.

The successful candidate will combine strong RAN engineering fundamentals with data-driven optimization, automation, and cross-domain collaboration to achieve desired outcomes. You will help evolve the wireless network toward more intelligent, cloud-enabled, and automated operations by assessing new technologies, validating vendor capabilities, developing engineering guidelines, and translating complex performance data into actionable network improvements. Lead RAN performance optimization across 4G, 5G NSA, 5G SA, and emerging 5G Advanced network capabilities.

Analyze network KPIs, counters, traces, configuration data, alarms, customer experience indicators, and traffic trends to identify improvement opportunities. Develop and validate optimization strategies for coverage, capacity, mobility, reliability, spectral efficiency, VoLTE/VoNR performance, and overall end-user experience. Apply statistical analysis, and predictive analytics to support anomaly detection, forecasting, proactive issue identification, and data-driven engineering decisions.

Design or contribute to automation workflows that improve repeatability and efficiency in parameter optimization, feature validation, KPI monitoring, reporting, and deployment readiness. Assess recent RAN software releases, features, hardware platforms, spectrum deployments, and vendor capabilities to determine operational, performance, and customer-experience impacts. Support the introduction of new technologies such as 5G Advanced, RedCap, network slicing, massive MIMO evolution, small cells, FWA, private wireless, IoT,



and energy-saving features.

Create engineering guidelines, test plans, technical recommendations, deployment criteria, and operational handover documentation for new RAN features and capabilities. Collaborate with design, operations, core, transport, device, product, vendor, service assurance, and field teams to resolve complex technical issues and deliver on business initiatives. Contribute to the evolution of AI-assisted, cloud-native, and automated RAN operations, including closed-loop automation with human-in-the-loop governance.

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, Computer Science, or a related technical field; a master’s degree is preferred.Several years of hands‑on experience in wireless network engineering, RAN optimization, RF performance, network analytics, or a related telecom engineering role. A commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Accessibility, helping create an environment where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and supported Hands‑on experience with RAN KPI analysis, counter interpretation, parameter optimization, feature validation, software release assessment, and customer‑experience improvement. Strong knowledge of RF engineering fundamentals, communications theory, massive MIMO, beam management, carrier aggregation, interference management, spectrum efficiency, and capacity optimization.

Experience with RAN hardware and software configurations, including eNB, gNB, radios, active antenna systems, baseband capacity, feature activation, and vendor parameter management.

Experience applying statistics, probability, AI/ML, or predictive analytics to network performance, capacity forecasting, anomaly detection, quality improvement, or operational‑efficiency use cases.Ability to build or contribute to scripts, dashboards, APIs, data pipelines, and automation tools that reduce manual engineering effort and improve operational efficiency and consistency. Working knowledge of Python, SQL, shell scripting, Power BI or equivalent BI tools, network performance platforms,



and large-scale operational datasets. Demonstrated ability to lead complex technical investigations, assess alternatives, make data‑supported recommendations, and deliver high‑quality outcomes in time-sensitive situations.

Ability to translate complex technical analysis into clear recommendations, executive summaries, deployment guidelines, and engineering decision support.Ability to continuously learn emerging technologies, assess industry developments, and apply them pragmatically in a production wireless network environment.

Experience with Ericsson RAN platforms, including feature roadmaps, counters, parameters, software releases, and configuration management.

Preferred: Familiarity with autonomous network concepts, closed-loop automation, and human‑in‑the‑loop validation for production network changes. Understanding of cloud‑native network principles, including virtualization, containers, Kubernetes concepts, observability, APIs, and software‑defined infrastructure. Knowledge of service assurance, customer‑experience analytics, geospatial analytics, or advanced visualization techniques.

Experience supporting network capabilities such as network slicing, RedCap, Cat-M, NB‑IoT, FWA, private networks, small cells, or energy-‑aware RAN optimization.
