- Track evolving 3GPP standards and translate new feature requirements into actionable test cases.
- Write detailed test plans, procedures, and reports to track validation progress and coverage.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Science, Telecommunications, or a related field.
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in cellular protocol testing or development.
- Deep technical understanding of 3GPP 5G NR protocols, including the architectural differences between SA and NSA modes.
- Proficiency with log analysis tools such as Qualcomm QXDM/QCAT, Wireshark, or vendor-specific trace tools.
- Strong Python programming or scripting skills for test automation.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with millimeter-wave (mmWave) and sub-6 GHz RF environments.
- Exposure to early 6G research, whitepapers, or simulations (for example, AI-driven air interfaces).
- Experience with Open RAN (O-RAN) architectures and interfaces.
Benefits
- Competitive annual discretionary bonus program.
- Opportunity for annual RSU grants.
- Highly competitive benefits package designed to support your success at work, at home, and at play.
