About the role
This interview focuses on collecting trustworthy radio measurements in real operating conditions and turning the logs into useful findings. The interviewer wants careful route planning, safe field judgement, confident event analysis and reports that separate observations from confirmed causes.
How to prepare
- Review common drive-test measurements for coverage, quality, throughput and mobility.
- Prepare an example where log analysis changed the first assumption about a fault.
- Revise test-device, scanner, antenna, GPS and call-sequence checks before departure.
- Think through safe responses to traffic, weather, access restrictions and equipment failure.
- Practise explaining a mapped finding and the evidence behind your recommendation.
Common mistakes
- Collecting data without defining the service scenario or success criteria.
- Calling every poor measurement a coverage problem.
- Ignoring route deviations, missing samples or faulty equipment in the final report.
