Description
AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio and designed for both commercial and government applications. Our engineers and space scientists are on a mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today’s five billion mobile subscribers and finally bring broadband to the billions who remain unconnected.
Position Overview
The RAN Deployment Engineer is responsible for executing all deployment, installation, and integration activities required to enable stable satellite‑to‑mobile connectivity across India and within global delivery programs. This role supports gateway and cell‑site builds, performs beam surveys, validates field installations, uploads configurations, and conducts probe‑based integration checks to ensure RAN readiness for satellite network activation.
The position works closely with regional engineering teams, the NOC, vendors, and global deployment groups to resolve technical blockers, uphold high integration quality, and support seamless service enablement.
Operating at the intersection of field engineering and advanced satellite‑RAN deployment, this role demands precision during installation, disciplined validation practices, and continuous coordination with cross‑functional teams. The RAN Deployment Engineer must balance technical accuracy, operational urgency, and regulatory variations across India to ensure smooth and consistent readiness for global satellite network activation.
Key Responsibilities
Field Deployment & Installation Activities
- Deliver RAN deployment activities including cell‑site builds, managing end-to-end field installation processes for satellite-RAN infrastructure
- Execute installation checks and commissioning procedures to validate proper equipment mounting, cabling, power connections, and environmental controls
- Validate CIQ inputs/outputs and CIQ-to-SCF generation to avoid deployment rework
- Validate Cell site router to Core integration, transport readiness
- Perform configuration uploads and software provisioning to ensure RAN equipment is properly configured according to deployment specifications
- Perform and validate BPMS to eNB port mapping, transport, clocking, and interface readiness
- Support Beam Go / No-Go readiness reviews and provide technical sign-off inputs
- Own technical handover from Delivery to Service Acceptance, ensuring all acceptance criteria and artifacts are met
- Enable stable satellite‑mobile connectivity through systematic installation, integration, and validation of RAN components and interfaces
Technical Validation & Testing
- Perform probe validations and acceptance testing to verify RAN functionality, connectivity, and performance against established criteria
- Conduct integration testing between satellite-RAN equipment and terrestrial network components to ensure seamless connectivity
- Execute acceptance tasks including functional testing, performance validation, and documentation completion for site commissioning
- Execute Acceptance checks with vendors for handover to Service Acceptance
Coordination & Collaboration
- Coordinate with regional engineering, NOC, vendors, and global deployment teams to align deployment activities with project schedules and technical requirements
- Interface with network operations centres to ensure proper monitoring integration and operational readiness during deployment phases
- Work with vendor teams to resolve equipment issues, on site hardware delivery, coordinate software updates, and ensure proper installation procedures
- Collaborate with global deployment teams to maintain consistency in deployment standards and share lessons learned across regions
Technical Issue Resolution & Quality Assurance
- Resolve technical blockers encountered during deployment including equipment failures, configuration issues, and integration challenges
- Troubleshoot complex technical problems affecting RAN performance, connectivity, or functionality during installation and commissioning
- Ensure reliable RAN readiness supporting global satellite network activation through comprehensive validation and quality assurance processes
- Document and escalate unresolved issues to appropriate technical teams while implementing temporary workarounds to maintain deployment schedules
Qualifications
Education
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, telecommunications engineering, computer engineering, or related technical field
