Freelancers who work in the RF industry generally have a background in electrical engineering. Whilst a Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering is the most common way into the industry, degrees in computer science and related fields may also enable you to begin a career as a freelance RF optimization engineer.
Whilst you’ll need experience in order to perform the role, further education and accreditation can be worthwhile too. An LTE RF optimization course and/or RF Performance and Optimization certificates can help you to stand out from the crowd and will show prospective clients what skills you have and how you’re able to meet their needs.
