Wireless Transport Engineers focus on designing, implementing, and maintaining wireless transport networks, including microwave and fiber links. RF Engineers specialize in analyzing and optimizing radio frequency signals, often working on device testing and signal propagation. While both roles require knowledge of wireless systems, the Wireless Transport Engineer emphasizes network infrastructure, whereas the RF Engineer concentrates on radio signals and spectrum management.
