Work History

DRIVE TEST ENGINEER

TELEWORLD SOLUTIONS/ SAMSUNG (SNAP)
Chantilly
06.2021 - 02.2025
  • Configured and calibrated RF drive test tools (e.g., XCAL, test UEs, scanners) for LTE, VoLTE, and 5G NR networks based on RF parameters provided by optimization teams.
  • Conducted SSV (Single Site Verification), cluster drive tests, stationary tests, and mobility testing to evaluate key KPIs such as RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, CQI, PCI, PING RTT, and throughput (DL/UL).
  • Executed E911 Phase II testing for location accuracy and timing validation using calibrated test UEs, ensuring compliance with FCC-mandated accuracy thresholds.
  • Analyzed drive test logs using MapInfo, Actix, and XCAP to identify and troubleshoot issues such as call setup failures, drop calls, handover failures, overshooting, and neighbor list discrepancies.
  • Validated RF performance metrics including Call Setup Success Rate (CSSR), Drop Call Rate (DCR), Handover Success Rate (HOSR), VoLTE MOS, retainability, accessibility, and latency.
  • Executed ATPs (Acceptance Test Procedures) for newly integrated and redeployed cell sites, verifying KPIs, event triggers, coverage footprints, and ensuring site readiness for optimization handover.
