5G RAN Engineer Resume Example (2026) — Bullets, Skills & Tips

Summary

Radio access network engineer with 11 years at a national operator and a network vendor. I plan and optimise 4G/5G networks across 3,200 sites, lead NSA and SA 5G launches, and automate KPI analysis and parameter changes with Python and SON. My cluster work lifted 5G downlink throughput by 38% and cut dropped calls by 41%, while drive-test and crowd-data analysis guides where the next sites go.
