RF Electronics Systems Tech

Do you enjoy solving complex RF and network problems for the communications systems that first responders and critical industries rely on every day?

Would you like hands-on work with everything from legacy analog radio to advanced P25 digital systems, microwave, and IT networks, with a company vehicle, a bonus opportunity, and a strong benefits package?

Ci is looking for a Systems Technician to maintain, troubleshoot, and optimize mission-critical communications systems. You'll work across RF, microwave, and IT infrastructure, support customers in the field, and take part in an on-call rotation that keeps these systems running around the clock.

About the Role

The Systems Technician provides technical support for specialized communications systems and applications. You'll perform preventive maintenance, carry out advanced troubleshooting on software-driven electronics, provision infrastructure, and optimize the performance of systems that include:

Legacy analog radio systems

Advanced digital P25 systems

IT systems running VMware and Cisco networking

IP networks

This is a field role. You'll drive daily to customer sites, some of them remote, and work closely with engineers, project managers, and customer representatives.

What You'll Do

Install, commission, maintain, and repair LMR radio systems and related infrastructure.

Perform preventive and corrective maintenance, with a focus on trend analysis and thorough documentation of results.

Troubleshoot RF, microwave, dispatch, network, and IT equipment.

Install radio site equipment, including racks, grounding, coaxial cable, GPS antennas, and site alarms.

Build and test coaxial jumpers, and perform cable sweeps, antenna radiated power readings, and channel alignments.

Collect and report network data such as connectivity, uptime, and IP traffic analysis (Wireshark).

Support commissioning, optimization, and acceptance of new sites.

Replace failed equipment and verify its operation. Coordinate depot repairs, equipment tracking, and inventory records.

Keep accurate service documentation and work records.

Participate in the on-call rotation (see below).

What You Bring

3+ years of experience in LMR/RF systems or IT systems.

A 2-year degree in electronics is preferred but not required. 3-8 years of relevant work experience will be accepted in place of a degree.

An FCC General Radiotelephone Operator License (GROL), or the ability to obtain one within 180 days of hire.

Knowledge of RF systems (transmitters, receivers, microwave, antenna networks), or knowledge of IT systems (Microsoft Server, Active Directory, VMware, Red Hat Linux, Cisco, TCP/IP).

Proficiency with test equipment, including communications monitors, T1 test sets, antenna analyzers, IP network analyzers, and a laptop with SSH, FTP, Telnet, and Cisco/Linux command line.

The ability to read wiring diagrams, schematics, and technical documentation.

Strong written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to work independently.

Nice to Have

P25 radio systems

VHF and 700/800 MHz systems

Dispatch console systems

RF site implementation and commissioning

Anritsu Site Master, Viavi service monitors, or similar test eq
