Support installation acceptance testing in coordination with radar engineers.
Assist with RF-channel verification and related equipment-interface testing.
Support encoder and signal testing activities using oscilloscopes or other test equipment when required.
Document RF test results and assist with the completion of FAA installation and acceptance checklists.

Support equipment movement, staging, rack integration, and general installation activities when required.
Work with radar engineers during equipment installation, startup, integration, and commissioning.
Participate in customer inspections and installation acceptance activities.
Complete corrective work and resolve installation punch-list items.
Provide on-site technical support following installation, which may include remaining at the project site for approximately one week after the primary installation.
Return to completed sites when required to address customer-requested modifications or unresolved punch-list items.

Return-loss or line-sweep equipment
Ability to identify and troubleshoot RF cable, antenna, connector, grounding, and signal-performance issues.
Ability to read and interpret RF schematics, cable schedules, equipment drawings, site layouts, installation plans, and technical manuals.
Experience working safely on towers, platforms, rooftops, ladders, handrails, or other elevated structures.
Ability to properly use fall-protection equipment and comply with site-specific working-at-heights requirements.
Ability to accurately document installations and test results.
Ability to travel extensively throughout the United States.
Ability to work extended schedules, weekends, or adjusted hours when required by installation and acceptance activities.
Ability to work effectively with customers, engineers, technicians, subcontractors, and government-site personnel.

Certification Requirements
