RAN Optimization Expert (Ericsson Focus)

São Paulo

Job description

As a RAN Optimization Expert specializing in Ericsson technologies, you will lead optimization efforts for live 4G and 5G networks, ensuring superior performance, coverage, and capacity. Representing our client on-site, you will collaborate directly with teams and client stakeholders in central São Paulo, driving customer-facing initiatives to resolve network issues and propose enhancements. This role demands hands-on availability at client offices, strong Ericsson tool proficiency, and a customer-oriented approach to deliver measurable improvements in network KPIs.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Perform end-to-end RAN optimization for Ericsson-based 4G/5G networks, including parameter tuning, neighbor planning, and interference management.
  • Analyze drive test data, KPIs (e.g., throughput, latency, drop rates), and use tools like Ericsson ENM (Element Network Manager), OSS-RC, and MO (Managed Objects) for root cause analysis and corrective actions.
  • Conduct customer-facing reviews and workshops with telecom operators, presenting optimization reports, recommendations, and ROI impacts.
  • Collaborate on-site with engineering teams and client RF teams to integrate solutions and troubleshoot live network issues.
  • Develop and implement optimization strategies to improve coverage, capacity, and user experience in urban São Paulo environments.
  • Document processes, create optimization guidelines, and support handover to operations teams.
  • Monitor post-optimization performance and iterate on improvements to meet SLAs.
  • Ensure compliance with Ericsson best practices and Brazilian regulatory standards

  • Proven track record in customer-facing roles, including direct interaction with telecom operators (e.g., Vivo, TIM, Claro) for optimization projects.
  • Hands-on experience with Ericsson tools such as ENM, OSS, RBS (Radio Base Station) configuration, and optimization scripts.
  • Experience in high-density urban deployments, including small cells, massive MIMO, and beamforming optimization.

Technical Skills:

  • Expertise in RAN optimization techniques (e.g., antenna tilting, power control, handover optimization).
  • Proficiency in drive testing tools (e.g., TEMS, Nemo) and post-processing analysis.
  • Strong knowledge of 3GPP standards for 4G/5G, including NR features like URLLC and eMBB.
  • Familiarity with scripting (e.g., Python, SQL for data analysis) and automation in optimization workflows.
  • Experience with multi-vendor environments is a plus.

Language Skills:

  • Fluency in Portuguese (spoken and written) – mandatory for on-site client interactions in Brazil.
