Veltris - Telecom Automation Engineer - Distributed Antenna Systems

Position Overview :

We are seeking a highly skilled Telecom Automation Engineer with strong experience in iBwave design, DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems), and hands-on capability to develop and automate workflows on the ECSite platform.

The ideal candidate will combine telecom design expertise with modern automation skills to accelerate design-to-deployment cycles-from 30 minutes down to 15 minutes-through scripting, UI automation, monitoring, and rapid proof-of-concept (POC) development.

Key Responsibilities :

1. DAS Workflow Development & Optimization :

- Design, enhance, and automate DAS workflows within the ECSite platform.

- Integrate iBwave design processes with ECSite tools to streamline end-to-end project execution.

- Identify inefficiencies in current workflows and develop automated solutions to remove manual steps.

2. Python Scripting & UI Automation :

- Develop robust Python scripts to support telecom design, validation, and deployment tasks.

- Build Selenium-based UI automation to accelerate frequently performed platform activities.

- Ensure scripts are modular, reusable, version-controlled, and maintainable.

3. System Monitoring & Quality Assurance :

- Implement monitoring dashboards to track workflow performance, automation success rates, and design consistency.

- Create automated test cases to ensure reliability and accuracy of ECSite workflows.

- Analyze system logs and outputs to proactively identify issues and implement corrections.

4. Gap Identification & Continuous Improvement :

- Conduct gap analysis across current DAS design-to-deployment processes.

- Recommend enhancements based on data-driven insights and operational pain points.

- Collaborate with telecom engineers, product teams, and field deployment teams to drive process improvements.

5. Rapid Prototyping & POC Development :

- Build quick, functional POCs to validate new ideas, tools, or workflows.

- Showcase new automation modules for stakeholder review and approval.

- Iterate rapidly based on feedback to deliver production-ready features.

Required Skills & Qualifications :

- Telecom Expertise

- 3-7 years of experience in Telecom / RF Engineering.

- Strong understanding of DAS design principles, RF fundamentals, and site deployment processes.

- Solid experience with iBwave Design tools and best practices.

Technical Skills :

- Proficiency in Python for scripting and process automation.

- Strong experience with Selenium (WebDriver, automation architecture, test frameworks).

- Familiarity with telecom deployment platforms (e.g., ECSite or similar).

- Good knowledge of API integrations, JSON/XML workflows, and automation frameworks.

Analytical & Operational Skills :

- Ability to map end-to-end telecom workflows and identify optimization opportunities.

- Strong troubleshooting skills across RF design, platform workflows, and automation layers.

- Experience with dashboards, monitoring tools, or log analysis (Grafana, Kibana, etc. is a plus).

Soft Skills :

- Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration.

- Ability to work in agile, fast-paced environments.

- Strong ownership mindset and willingness to solve complex problems with minimal supervision.

Preferred Qualifications :

- Experience with cloud-based platforms (AWS, Azure) for automation and monitoring.

- Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, Git, and DevOps principles.

- Exposure to field deployment workflows for indoor/outdoor DAS projects.

- Familiarity with mobile network KPIs and telecom standards.

Performance Goals (First 6 Months) :

- Automate key DAS workflows to reduce design-to-deployment cycle from 30 minutes to 15 minutes.

- Build a minimum of 3-5 automation modules integrating Python + Selenium + ECSite.

- Implement monitoring dashboards for performance, usage, and error tracking.

- Deliver 2-3 quick POCs demonstrating new automation or workflow improvement ideas.

- Achieve measurable improvements in workflow accuracy, speed, and reliability.
