Deployment Engineer, Cellular

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.

Meter’s Cellular team is scaling from a handful of deployments to hundreds—expanding to hundreds of millions of square feet. We need a Deployment Engineer who can turn designs into on-air, carrier-accepted deployments—owning provisioning, integration, troubleshooting, and go-live at scale.

What success looks like

• Capacity & quality: Keep pace with new deployments while sustaining a high bar for quality while we experience unprecedented growth. Your goal is to have a high rate of error-free deployments, near-perfect acceptance by the carriers, keep deployments on-time, and maintain a single source of technical truth for tracking across deployments.

• Standardization in production: Roll out v1 playbooks and vendor scorecards to make deployments repeatable and predictable. Create processes and automations that allow deployments to be quick to configure, error-free, and meaningfully reduce the amount of time spent troubleshooting per deployment.

• High visibility, low errors: Spin up tools and dashboards that flag post-live issues early so we fix them before customers feel it—keeping carrier KPIs tight and the customer experience solid.

• Own problems: Identify problems that are hindering our ability to scale quickly, propose what needs to be done to remove those blockers, implement the fix and/or quarterback the change across teams.

What your day-to-day will look like

You’ll be the point person from rack/stack through go-live: bring up basebands and RUs, integrate with Meter networking, drive E911 readiness, and leave behind repeatable installs that shorten time to go-live.

• Remote provisioning & integration: Push software/licenses, configure basebands/RUs (PLMN/bands, neighbor lists, sync/PTP, IP/VLANs, alarms), and bring nodes on-air.

• KPI verification & issue coordination: Pull/analyze logs, confirm KPIs (RSRP/SINR/RSRQ, attach, handovers, throughput), and open/drive remediations with field partners.

• E911 readiness: Validate test call flows and routing, ensure provisioning is complete and sign-off criteria are met ahead of carrier testing.

• Remote troubleshooting: Triage L1/L2/L3 alarms and RF symptoms from traces/counters, issue config changes, guide onsite techs, and communicate to carriers/vendors with clarity and detail.

• Close-out & carrier submissions: Assemble carrier-ready packages (as-builts, E911 logs, throughput data, photos), manage comment cycles to first-pass closure.

• Standardize & improve: Maintain golden configs/procedures and pre-checks, script automation, update dashboards, and occasionally travel onsite for tough post-deploy issues or benchmarking.

Who you are

We’re hiring someone who is energized by the chance to help build a product that will touch millions of people soon—and you want that level of responsibility. Your passion for your technical domain should be palpable and you’re excited about scaling. You can work with ambiguity and little direction: you see an issue, fix it, and figure out how to not make that mistake for the next hundred deployments in the pipeline.

• Remote-first integrator: You can bring multi-operator indoor small-cell systems on-air from your desk—loading software/licenses, setting PLMNs and neighbor lists, wiring up sync/PTP, IP/VLANs, and verifying connectivity.

• Methodical troubleshooter: You can troubleshoot like a pro—dig through logs/traces and real customer feedback, pin down the issue, ship the fix, watch the KPIs, and solve it for good.

• Carrier acceptance–driven: You know what each carrier needs to go-live and execute towards deploying with 100% first-pass carrier closure.

• Turns fixes into standards: Each site improves the golden configs, procedures, and pre-checks. You spot patterns, add automation, and communicate clearly to remove repeat work.

• Own outcomes at scale: Given a go-live and constraints, you sequence the work, escalate early with options, and travel when it moves the needle (post-deploy triage or benchmarking)—because lighting up hundreds of buildings is the goal.

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.
