TL;DR · Senior Manager, 5G RAN – Core Systems Software Architecture

As a Senior Manager in Amazon Leo’s Core Systems Software Architecture team, you will lead the design and development of real-time communications software enabling robust connectivity between gNodeB platforms and Multi-Operator Core Network environments. Your day-to-day responsibilities include architecting complex software systems, defining interface specifications for NGC and NGU components, and ensuring compliance with 3GPP standards. You will also oversee lab integration activities, including Hardware-in-the-Loop testing and physical interface validation, while building a high-performing engineering team through strategic hiring and mentoring. The role demands expertise in C/C++, Rust, MPLS, segment routing, and hands-on experience with HIL testing frameworks. This position is integral to Amazon Leo’s mission of delivering advanced low Earth orbit satellite connectivity solutions, requiring deep technical knowledge and leadership skills to drive innovation and execution across multiple engineering disciplines.

What you'll do

  • Architect and design software stack enabling real-time communication between gNodeB and MOCN environments.
  • Define software partitioning and interface specifications for NGC, NGU, RRC, and Multi-PLMN broadcast components.
  • Lead development of 3GPP-compliant protocol layers ensuring low latency and high reliability for satellite connectivity.
  • Oversee integration of transport technologies like MPLS into the RAN–Core connectivity architecture.
  • Drive troubleshooting and performance optimization across NGC, NGU, and RRC layers in lab environments.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years experience developing software for 4G/5G Core interfaces and RAN-Core integration.
  • Deep expertise in 3GPP NGC control plane and NGU user plane protocols.
  • Proven ability to architect real-time communications protocol stacks with deterministic timing requirements.
  • Strong knowledge of PLMN operations, network slicing concepts, and multi-operator resource sharing.
  • Expertise in MPLS, segment routing, and transport-network engineering for RAN backhaul.
  • Demonstrated experience working in lab environments with Hardware-in-the-Loop testing and physical interface modeling.
  • Proven track record of building and mentoring high-performing engineering teams.
