The Role
As a Wireless Designer at Meter, you'll handle the complete radio design process for indoor LTE/5G, ensuring multi-operator coverage and capacity, while standardizing designs and improving deployment processes.
Summary Generated by Built In

Meter builds the infrastructure modern businesses depend on to stay connected. On the Cellular team, we design and deploy multi-operator in-building cellular that just works—integrated with Meter’s hardware, software, and managed service model.

As a wireless designer on the Cellular team, you’ll own the end-to-end radio design that turns floor plans into reliable indoor LTE/5G coverage and capacity. You’ll use your iBwave expertise to produce carrier-grade designs, accelerate approvals with AT&T/T-Mobile/Verizon, and create playbooks that let Meter scale from single sites to multi-million-square-foot portfolios.

What success looks like
  • Deliver carrier-ready, multi-operator designs that meet defined KPIs for coverage, quality, and capacity.

  • Standardize design rules, BOMs, and topologies so repeatable work gets faster and cheaper.

  • Shorten the loop from survey → design → carrier acceptance → deployment with clear handoffs and QA.

What your day-to-day will look like
  • Pull floor plans, site photos, and survey data; normalize in iBwave and run initial propagation for LTE/NR bands.

  • Place and tune RUs to internal and carrier specifications, generate clean BOMs.

  • Review designs with Deployment Operations; adjust for construction constraints, aesthetics, and customer specifics.

  • Receive feedback from internal and carrier stakeholders, track comments, and iterate quickly.

  • Capture what worked into templates/macros so the next building is faster.

Who you are

The exceptional person we’re after believes all great deployments start with a meticulous RF design. They sweat the details while understanding what tradeoffs can be made while we work to scale to an unprecedented number of installs.

  • Domain mastery: iBwave Level 3 certified with a portfolio of multi-operator in-building designs that have passed carrier review and performed to KPI.

  • Vendor & topology range: Comfortable designing with Ericsson Dot and small-cell/MORAN architectures; understands when to trade off coverage vs. capacity and how to scale deployments cleanly.

  • Practical rigor: You sweat antenna placement and acceptance thresholds (RSRP/SINR/RSRQ/throughput), and you write design notes others can build from without a phone call.

  • Clear communicator: You can explain RF decisions to carriers, customers, and field teams—and change your mind when data proves you wrong.

  • Builder of processes: You turn one-off designs into templates, checklists, and rules that raise throughput and quality.

Why Meter?

The internet runs the world. Every purchase you make, video call you join, it's all packets flowing through networks. But those networks haven’t changed for decades. They’re brittle, complex, and surprisingly hard to set up in an enterprise space.

We started Meter to build better networks. We had to build everything from the ground-up: designing and building our own enterprise hardware, intuitive software, and streamlined operations to deliver great outcomes for our customers. Today, we build and deploy these networks at scale. Ambitious companies and enduring institutions like Bridgewater, Lyft, Reddit, rely on Meter to keep their thousands of employees and locations online and productive.

Our bet with Meter is simple: we will all use the internet more than we do today. We believe we have the definitive networking stack in place to enable business to do so as seamlessly and reliably as any modern utility.

Compensation
  • The estimated base salary for this role is between $109,000 - $186,000.

  • Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Meter's equity plan.

What We Do

Our bet with Meter is simple: we’ll all use the internet more than we do today.

That future depends on networking infrastructure—the invisible plumbing powering every application, space, and data center. But today’s infrastructure is dated and inconsistent, so we’re rebuilding it from the ground up.

We design the hardware, write the firmware, build the software, deploy the networks, and run support.
It’s a single, integrated networking solution that scales from offices, warehouses, and large campuses to data centers—and today, it’s powering some of the world’s most ambitious organizations.

Why Work With Us

We’re a group of kind and ambitious people who want to do the best work of their career. The work we do across hardware, software, and operations is hard and long-term oriented. We are colleagues who view fast-paced and changing environments as an opportunity—not a bug—and find the agency to move things forward.
