ABOUT ME

Hi there.

My name is Henry Schildbach. I’m a field engineer specializing in private RAN, MOCN integration, LTE/5G deployment, and satellite communications. My background spans telecom field operations, technical training and curriculum design, and remote satellite deployment — experience that now grounds my work turning up and optimizing wireless networks in demanding, high-density, and often extremely remote environments. I’ve built a career going where the network isn’t yet, and getting it running right the first time.

EXPERIENCE

  • Field Engineer, Radio Access Networks — JMA Wireless

    Jan 2024-Present

    I install, optimize, and support LTE and 5G/NR radio access networks across micro and macro deployments, spanning greenfield builds and complex brownfield overbuilds. I lead turn-up and performance optimization for environments ranging from single-sector labs to stadium-scale neutral-host DAS deployments, serving as the hands-on technical authority for customer troubleshooting and integration.

  • Construction Manager, Private LTE & 5G Projects — JMA Wireless

    Apr 2023-Apr 2024

    I directed the end-to-end design, deployment, and commissioning of a greenfield private LTE network delivering campus-wide coverage across 50+ buildings — owning active and passive component installation, iBwave modeling validation, campus dark fiber planning and commissioning, and multi-vendor multi-trade construction through final customer handover.

  • NOC Analyst II — JMA Wireless

    Dec 2022-Apr 2023

    I kept a watchful eye on network health around the clock, mentoring junior engineers through the day-to-day operation, maintenance, and escalation handling that keeps a growing portfolio of private and public RAN deployments running smoothly.

  • Service Field Engineer — OneWeb (Now Eutelsat OneWeb)

    Oct 2021-Nov 2022

    I served as the technical subject-matter expert for OneWeb satellite products, supporting executive demonstrations and fly-in/fly-out deployments in extremely remote, off-road, no-infrastructure locations — from integration and turn-up through full turnkey installation for distribution partners.

  • Technical Trainer — GCI - General Communications Inc

    Mar 2020-Oct 2021

    I designed and delivered telecommunications training programs, from curriculum development to certification frameworks and LMS operations, leading multi-week academies that brought learners from foundational knowledge to operationally ready Tier 1 support engineers.

  • System Technician / Field Service Technician III — GCI - General Communications Inc

    Jun 2017-Mar 2020

    I supported, maintained, and optimized several thousand plant-miles of hybrid fiber/coax infrastructure, including dark and lit fiber customers, from long-haul demarcation to customer end devices. I served as the single point of technical escalation for telephony, DOCSIS services, cellular backhaul and radio transmission, carrier interop, and television services.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Greenfield Private LTE Network — 50+ Building Campus

2023-2024

I owned the implimentation, deployment, and commissioning of a private LTE network built entirely from the ground up — delivering seamless, campus-wide coverage across 50+ buildings. I drove every phase, from RF architecture and iBwave modeling to fiber capacity planning and multi-vendor construction, bringing the project through to customer acceptance and final handover.

Remote Fly-In/Fly-Out Satellite Deployments — OneWeb

2021-2022

I delivered rapid, on-site technical support and full turnkey satellite installations for distribution partners in extremely remote, off-road, no-infrastructure locations, serving as the technical subject-matter expert for both field deployments and executive demonstrations.
