Radio frequency engineering (RFEN)
The deployment, integration, calibration, tuning and maintenance of radio frequency (RF) and analogue elements of IT systems.
Level 2 Assists with setting up, tuning and functional checks of RF/analogue elements. Resolves faults down to line replaceable unit (LRU) level or escalates according to given procedures. Carries out user confidence checks and escalates faults according to given procedures.
Level 3 Deploys, sets up, tunes and calibrates RF/analogue elements following maintenance schedules and using appropriate tools and test equipment. Incorporates hardware/firmware modifications. Interprets automatic fault/performance indications and resolves faults down to discrete component level or escalates according to given procedures.
Level 4 Investigates and resolves system-wide fault conditions using a wide range of diagnostic tools and techniques. Reconfigures equipment to circumvent temporary outages.
Level 5 Develops maintenance schedules and procedures. Approves equipment upgrades and modifications. Monitors system performance, recommends equipment modifications and changes to operating procedures, servicing methods and schedules.
Level 6 Specifies RF equipment performance requirements and sets maintenance policy.
