Pre‑Sales & Customer Engagement
Act as the technical lead in customer engagements, discovery sessions, and solution workshops
Translate business and operational requirements into technical designs and deployment approaches
Support RFP/RFI responses, proposals, and technical presentations
Provide cost drivers, trade‑off analysis, and ROM estimates to support commercial decision‑making
OEM & Ecosystem Integration
Evaluate and select OEMs and technology partners (RAN, core, CPE, antennas, transport, edge)
Define interoperability and integration requirements across multi‑vendor solutions
Maintain working knowledge of leading private wireless and FWA vendors and roadmaps
Deployment & Field Readiness
Ensure designs are deployment‑ready, including site typologies, hardware configurations, and installation requirements
Collaborate with deployment and operations teams to ensure smooth handoff from design to build
Support pilot deployments, trials, and initial customer turn‑ups as needed
Documentation & Enablement
Produce solution documentation including architecture diagrams, BOMs, and design standards
Contribute to internal playbooks, reference designs, and sales enablement materials
Train sales and delivery teams on solution capabilities and constraints
