Network optimization engineers in the communication industry are mainly employed in equipment manufacturers, operators, and cooperative units of operators.
Students who are familiar with the communication industry must understand that the most basic types of this industry can be divided into operators and equipment manufacturers. In China, operators are China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom, and radio and television. Most people at the policy level should be relatively clear.
equipment manufacturer
Communication equipment vendors generally do access network, core network and optimization. It is worth affirming that they are very promising. Needless to say, salary and treatment depend on ability.
It needs to be explained that equipment vendors are also subdivided. According to product types, they can be divided into telecom equipment vendors/data communication equipment vendors, and according to the type of customers they serve, they can be divided into operator business/enterprise business/data center business. It has its own main business and main products, so the ranking results will be different according to different products or businesses.
On the whole, well-known domestic communication equipment manufacturers include: Huawei, ZTE, Datang, etc.; relatively well-known foreign communication equipment manufacturers include: Ericsson, Siemens, Nokia, etc.
A company’s employees’ career development prospects and salaries are inseparable from the company’s overall revenue from a macro perspective. For example, the revenues of equipment manufacturers such as Huawei and ZTE are self-evident, so employees’ salaries do not have to Too much to say.
operator
The network optimization engineer inside the operator belongs to the core specialty of the network interface.
However, network optimization engineers under equipment manufacturers or operators have certain standards and quotas for candidates. Most of them are recruited through school, and there are few social recruitments.
Operator's partner
At present, most network optimization engineers work in third-party optimization companies , which are "third-party" optimization companies hired by operators, and are mainly responsible for the daily optimization of the operator's network. The work of these network optimization engineers is not much different from that of engineers who have joined equipment manufacturers and operators. However, many engineers come from across industries, and usually work on projects for equipment manufacturers or operators.
In the three-party company, those excellent senior engineers with rich experience in optimization are paid fairly well, relatively speaking, they belong to the ranks of high salaries. For college students who are newcomers or those who are inexperienced, most of them go to the outfield, doing the most tiring work and getting the least money. But the background optimization will not travel, you can choose the city you want to fix on this project for long-term development.
All in all, it is still an era of ability, where you get what you pay for.
Prospects
The cooperation units of the operators are mainly responsible for technology, and the talent demand for network optimization is the largest, accounting for 70% of the overall industry demand , so most people are hired by this part of the company, and the salary is also very good. Those with excellent technology can transfer to equipment manufacturers .
As a 5G network optimization engineer, the editor can choose to plan his career from two directions : technical route and management route , so as to improve his ability and obtain higher salary.
1) Technical route Junior 5G network optimization engineer→Intermediate 5G network optimization engineer→Senior 5G network optimization engineer→Expert 5G network optimization engineer
2) Management route Junior 5G network optimization engineer→Intermediate 5G network optimization engineer→5G network optimization senior→5G network optimization project manager →5G network optimization regional leader
The main assessment of the management position is the completion of the team and the project. The assessment requirements of each company are different. Generally, the project manager will benchmark the salary of the senior engineer, and the promotion to the regional leader in the later period will be based on the annual salary and dividend system.
The overall talent demand of equipment manufacturers accounts for 20% of the demand of the entire industry, and the recruitment is generally inclined to school recruitment, so there will be certain requirements for academic qualifications and majors. The most important thing in social recruitment is technology, and strong technology is the greatest competitiveness.
Operators actually belong to the so-called "iron rice bowl", which accounts for 10% of the talent demand of the entire industry, and the demand is small. All of them are recruited from schools, and the educational requirements are very high (graduate students are preferred, 985.211 and other degrees) And need a professional counterpart. Operators hardly conduct social recruitment,
The development prospects of network optimization engineers are very good, but in fact, any job has a future if you do it seriously. If the technology is top-notch, you can switch to an equipment manufacturer or operator; if you want to do management, you can bring relevant talents to take over the project.
Now 5G mobile phones and 5G base stations are all over the country. The 5G industry is developing rapidly, the demand for talents in various related industries has increased dramatically, and the emergence of 5G+ smart education and medical care, cultural tourism, urban construction, etc., are jointly promoting smart services based on 5G technology. According to the "White Paper on New Thoughts on 5G Talent Development", by 2030, 5G will directly create more than 8 million job opportunities, and 5G-related industries and related fields will indirectly create a talent demand of up to tens of millions. At the same time, experts in the industry have also proposed that the demand for domestic 5G talents will reach 20 million in the next 10 years, among which the demand for 5G talents will be the largest during the period from 2020 to 2025, and there will be a gap of 2 million people in the talent market. perfect timing.
