GSM-R Network Systems Engineer

We’re recruiting for an exciting opportunity with a major UK infrastructure organisation, seeking an experienced Systems Engineer to configure, integrate, optimise and maintain business-critical GSM network systems.

What you’ll be doing

• Datafill, configuration and integration across NSS (MSC/HLR/VLR) and BSS (BSC/BTS) network elements
• Supporting and optimising the 2G radio network - parameter tuning, neighbour and frequency planning, KPI analysis and performance improvement
• Transmission and FTS engineering, and end-to-end network integration
• Fault diagnosis, testing and commissioning of network elements
• Working alongside planning, operations and NOC teams to keep the network performing

• Proven hands-on experience across NSS and BSS in a live GSM environment
• MSC / 2G radio configuration and datafill expertise
• Radio network optimisation experience (drive testing / KPI-driven tuning a plus)
• FTS / transmission knowledge
• A true systems engineering background - network element config and integration, not infrastructure construction, * Have you worked hands-on with 2G GSM-R core network elements (NSS, BSS, MSC), including datafill and network optimisation - and if so, on which systems/projects and for how long?
• What’s your experience with GSM-R transmission and FTS (Fixed Terminal Subsystem), and can you give an example of a fault or optimisation task you resolved end to end?
