The telecommunications engineers engaged in research and development of innovative telecommunications products and to investigate ways to improve existing technology, such as fiber optic cables.
Telecommunications engineers offer solutions for companies and private clients. For example, they can help a company create systems to handle large volumes of phone calls, for example, by creating or improving a call center. They can discuss the use of an integrated computer and telephone system. This technique consists in coordinating the actions of telephones and computer systems, which allows for better management, processing, control and monitoring of calls.
Telecommunications engineers also install videoconferencing communication systems in hospitals, which allow surgeons to perform operations under the supervision of experts at another hospital, using a videoconferencing system to see and listen to their colleagues.
They work in services such as mobile communications, high-speed data transmission and communication by fax and radio. They install the necessary equipment to establish this type of communication. Then, once the equipment is installed, they can train customers to learn how to use it.
Telecommunications engineers manage the maintenance and repair of communications systems. They ensure that the new equipment complies with government regulations.
Some telecommunications engineers travel within a local area to ensure that all sites in the network are functioning correctly. They use specific software to detect if any part of the network is "weak" and, therefore, if it is more likely to break.
Telecommunications engineers often have to prepare reports on problems related to telecommunications and the information present in the investigation of new ideas.
Some telecommunications engineers work closely with sales and marketing departments. They can respond to customer inquiries, and engage in the promotion and sale of networks for new customers.
Professional profile
To be a telecommunications engineer it is necessary:
Estar dispuesto a aprender y desarrollar nuevos conocimientos, así como estar al día sobre los avances en áreas como la tecnología de los satélites, la informática, el comercio electrónico y las redes de telefonía móvil.
Afán investigador.
Excelentes habilidades de resolución de problemas.
Habilidades de gestión y de organización de las redes, por ejemplo, para el cartografiado de las redes de cables.
Habilidades de investigación, de redacción y de presentación de informes.
La capacidad de adquirir un conocimiento completo del producto con el que se trabaja.
Capacidad de persuasión para vender el producto.
Fuertes conocimientos sobre software informáticos, ya que los ordenadores cada vez se utilizan más para el control de sistemas de telecomunicaciones.
Buenas habilidades de comunicación, ya que tendrá que explicar información técnica a personas sin formación técnica.
