TL;DR · Test Base Station Designer, Wireless Technologies & Ecosystems

The Test Base Station Designer, Wireless Technologies & Ecosystems joins the Wireless Technologies and Ecosystems organization to design, develop, and maintain network simulation systems. This role focuses on converting 4G/5G protocol functionality into corresponding protocol implementations and interfaces within the cellular network simulation domain. Key responsibilities include specifying and implementing scheduler software, developing pre-silicon emulation systems or virtual platforms for Layer1 Control SW design, and defining methodologies for test executors. The position requires expertise in cellular protocol stacks, including 6G, 5G NR, and 4G LTE, with a focus on PHY Downlink/Uplink channels. Candidates must utilize C/C++, Python, and multi-threading to solve complex problems involving tight timeline, latency, and energy constraints while utilizing tools from Keysight, Anritsu, and R&S to optimize cellular performance.

What you'll do

  • Specify, design, and implement Scheduler software for Test Base Stations.
  • Implement key scheduling and control processing under strict timeline, latency, and energy constraints.
  • Develop pre-silicon emulation systems and virtual platforms for Layer1 Control SW design and verification.
  • Convert 4G/5G protocol functionality into protocol implementations and interfaces for cellular network simulation systems.
  • Evaluate and implement leading-edge tools for software build, verification, and testing.
  • Define technical methodologies and standards for software development.
  • Guide test executors in performing validation of new and existing features.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree and a minimum of 5+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Good understanding of cellular protocol stacks, particularly 5G.
  • Knowledge of 6G, 5G NR, 4G LTE, and PHY Downlink/Uplink channels and signals.
  • Software development and debugging experience in C/C++.
  • Experience with multi-processing and multi-threading based implementations.
  • Fundamentals in object-oriented SW design and test techniques and methodologies.
  • Master’s or PhD degree in wireless communication or electrical engineering (preferred).
  • Proficiency in Python and experience with various 4G/5G signaling and protocol test equipment (preferred).
