• Develop BOMs, cost models, and ROM-to-final pricing for large-scale DAS and public safety systems.
• Define pricing assumptions, margin targets, and risk contingencies.
• Identify technical and commercial trade-offs impacting coverage, capacity, schedule, and cost.
• Support contract structures including turnkey, cost-plus, and managed service models.
• Identify cost drivers and trade-offs (fiber runs, headend complexity, risers, power, redundancy).
• Support contract structures including turnkey, cost-plus, and managed service models.
• Support contract structures including turnkey, cost-plus, and managed service models.
• Support contract structures including turnkey, cost-plus, and managed service models.

Qualifications

• Mandatory Experience (Large Venues & Neutral Host)
• Proven experience leading large-scale DAS deployments for stadiums, arenas, convention centers, airports, campuses, or similarly complex public venues.
• Direct experience with neutral-host DAS architectures, including multi-operator RF design, capacity planning, and commercial models.
• Demonstrated success delivering DAS systems supporting high user density and event-driven traffic patterns.
• Strong technical deep experience with in-building DAS architectures (active, passive, hybrid).
• Strong understanding of RF design for indoor environments.
• Experience with Public Safety LMR / ERRCS systems.
• Familiarity with carrier requirements and neutral-host models.
• Familiarity with various OEMs commonly used in indoor and outdoor DAS systems.
• Hands on knowledge of fiber, power, grounding, and construction coordination.
• Commercial & Professional
• Proven experience scoping, pricing, and costing complex in-building wireless projects.
• Ability to create and defend BOMs, ROMs, and final pricing models.
• Strong cross-functional leadership skills across sales, engineering, and construction.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience 8–12+ years in in-building wireless, DAS, or RF systems including field deployment activities.
• Prior role as DAS engineer, RF lead, solutions architect, or deployment teams.
• Experience interfacing with AHJs and public safety agencies.
• Experience interacting with customer.
• Ability to travel for client meetings and travel to the field, when needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior responsibility for DAS solutions with AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile participation.
• Experience managing multi-carrier funding, contribution models, or operator-specific upgrade cycles.
• NICET Level II–IV (Fire Alarm or ERRCS-related).
• Knowledge of CBRS and private wireless integration indoors.
• Bachelor’s degree or experience equivalent in Engineering or related field.
