We are actively hiring a Senior Wireless/RF Systems Engineer to serve as the go-to technical authority for a growing technology solutions provider in the Houston region. In this field-facing role, you’ll collaborate closely with the sales and account management teams, delivering expert-level support to industrial clients by advising on complex wireless infrastructure solutions. This position will involve regular travel to customer sites across the greater Houston area (30–40%) to conduct assessments, design resilient wireless plant networks, and ensure seamless integration of RF technologies within OT/IT environments.
Key Responsibilities

Travel with account managers to client facilities—such as petrochemical plants and oil & gas refineries—to provide pre-sales technical guidance.
Conduct detailed indoor/outdoor Wi-Fi and RF surveys using tools like Ekahau and AirMagnet, with an emphasis on challenging industrial environments.
Design, Configuration, and Commissioning
Architect and implement large-scale Wireless Plant Networks (WPN), integrating outdoor mesh access points, wireless LAN controllers, firewalls, industrial tablets, and network hardware.
Lead system validation activities including factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), and full commissioning of wireless networks in complex industrial settings.
Secure Network Integration
Design secure wireless architectures that integrate into customers' Process Control Domains (PCDs) with a strong emphasis on regulatory compliance and cybersecurity best practices.
Collaborate with OT and IT teams to harden wireless deployments against evolving security threats.
Enablement & Support
Deliver internal and client-facing training sessions covering best practices in RF design, Wi-Fi troubleshooting, and cybersecurity in wireless systems.
Serve as a resource for escalated technical support, documentation, and process improvement initiatives.
Education & Background
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Information Technology, or a similar field—or equivalent hands-on experience.
At least 5 years in a senior-level Wireless or RF Engineering role with proven success in industrial and enterprise environments.
Technical Proficiency
Deep knowledge of wireless protocols (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax) and RF propagation in high-interference environments.
Experienced in LAN/WAN topologies and secure network infrastructure configuration (routers, switches, firewalls).
Familiar with process control and industrial automation environments, particularly regarding wireless integration with OT systems.
Preferred Certifications
CCNA / CCNP (Enterprise or Security)
CWNA and CWDP or similar wireless certifications
Additional Qualities
Strong communication skills and the ability to translate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
Resourceful, self-directed, and comfortable working in dynamic, field-oriented environments.
Practical experience with cybersecurity principles in mixed IT/OT environments is a strong plus.
