What is an LTE integrator?

LTE Integrators are professionals responsible for setting up, configuring, and optimizing Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless networks. They work with telecom equipment, perform network integration tasks, and ensure seamless communication between network components. Their role often includes troubleshooting, software upgrades, and collaborating with engineers to deliver high-performance mobile networks. LTE Integrators are essential in supporting mobile operators to provide reliable 4G connectivity to customers.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be an LTE integrator?

To thrive as an LTE Integrator, you need a solid understanding of telecommunications networks, LTE architectures, and system integration, typically supported by a degree in electronics or telecommunications engineering. Familiarity with tools like Wireshark, network management systems (NMS), OSS platforms, and relevant certifications such as CCNA or vendor-specific LTE certifications is often required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial for diagnosing issues and collaborating with cross-functional teams. These competencies ensure the seamless deployment and optimization of LTE networks, which is vital for reliable and high-performing mobile connectivity.

What challenges does an LTE integrator face during network deployment projects?

LTE Integrators often encounter challenges such as coordinating with multiple vendors, ensuring compatibility between different network components, and troubleshooting complex issues during integration. These professionals must also manage tight project deadlines and adapt to evolving customer requirements. Collaboration with radio engineers, project managers, and field technicians is essential to successfully roll out new services while maintaining network quality and performance. Staying up-to-date with the latest LTE technologies and industry best practices can help overcome these challenges.

What is the difference between Lte Integrator vs Radio Frequency (RF) Engineer?

AspectLte IntegratorRadio Frequency (RF) Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, or related field; certifications like Nokia LTE or Ericsson LTEBachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications; certifications like RF Engineering Certification
Work EnvironmentField deployment, network integration, site installationDesign, testing, and optimization of RF systems, often in labs or on-site
Employer & Industry UsageTelecom service providers, network equipment vendorsTelecom companies, network equipment manufacturers, consulting firms

The main difference is that Lte Integrators focus on deploying and integrating LTE networks in the field, while RF Engineers specialize in designing and optimizing RF systems. Both roles require similar technical knowledge but differ in daily tasks and work environments.

Job description

Readiness Delivered. At Kratos, we encourage an entrepreneurial spirit balanced with discipline. We work hard, and take care of our customers, employees, and families. Recognized as thought leaders in our industry, we are motivated by creating and delivering innovative solutions to our nation and global customers. We are seeking a highly skilled 5G Systems Integration Engineer with a strong background in gNB system architecture, integration, and validation. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with 5G NR, O-RAN components, and end-to-end system bring-up, as well as practical programming skills (C++ preferred) to support automation, debugging, and custom tooling development.

The responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • System Integration Ownership: Plan and execute integration across core, RAN (O?RAN), PHY/MAC (L1/L2), RF front?end, timing/GNSS, and management/telemetry.
  • Test Automation & Tooling: Build CI driven integration test harnesses (E2E attach, bearer setup, handover, throughput/latency, BLER, KPI trending), log analysis pipelines, and reproducible lab scenarios.
  • Lab-to-Field Readiness: Drive configuration baselines, soak testing, and pre-flight checklists; support OTA demos and field trials; ensure smooth handoff to customer ops.
  • Issue Triage & Root Cause: Lead cross-functional triage (firmware, RF, core, networking), isolate defects, and implement fixes with regression safeguards.
  • Performance Optimization: Tune parameters for scheduling, HARQ, beamforming, and RF chains to meet contractual KPIs.
  • Compliance & Interop: Validate against relevant specs (e.g., 3GPP call flows for SA, NTN-specific scenarios) and partner equipment interoperability.
  • Develop and maintain C++ utilities and Python scripts for automation, log parsing, test harnesses, and debugging workflows.
    • Documentation & Repeatability: Maintain integration runbooks, configuration guides, and acceptance test procedures for reuse across customers.
    • Participate in Agile ceremonies and demonstrate test results

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
  • Strong understanding of cellular architecture (5G or 4G LTE): RAN, air interface (5GNR/LTE), and 3GPP standards
  • Hands-on wireless systems test experience: performance, interoperability, protocol testing
  • Proficiency with test equipment: signal generators, spectrum analyzers, UE simulators, protocol analyzers
  • Proficiency in C++ for tooling, integration support, and system-level development.
  • Strong cross-functional triage and documentation skills

Preferred Skills and Experience

  • Viavi TM500 UE simulator experience
  • Customer deployments, field testing, or carrier certification processes.
  • Ability to write clean, maintainable, production-grade C++ (C++14/17/20 experience preferred).
  • Experience with NTN scenarios, OTA demos, and lab-to-field transitions.
