TL;DR · Senior RAN Integration Engineer

The Sr. RAN integration Engineer (Starlink Mobile) joins the team to integrate, test, and evaluate the functional performance, reliability, and robustness of a complex satellite communication network. This role involves integrating communication system components on satellites and ground stations while ensuring successful network integration with mobile operators and regulatory compliance. Key responsibilities include defining LTE and 5G RAN and EPC product requirements, developing network integration plans for carrier-grade architectures, and managing technical partnerships with international mobile network operators. The position requires expertise in 3G, LTE, and 5G network delivery, transport network protocols like diameter, SCTP, GTP, and NAS, and Linux automation tools. Candidates must also utilize network analyzers, packet load modules, and version control systems like Git to support international expansion for direct-to-handset services.

What you'll do

  • Integrate communication system components on satellites and ground stations.
  • Define LTE and 5G RAN and EPC product requirements and network integration plans.
  • Manage technical partnerships and deep technical discussions with international mobile network operators.
  • Create documentation for cellular network design, integration, and performance metrics for international expansion.
  • Implement tools to conduct, track, and improve testing processes and effectiveness.
  • Identify technology trades and create product roadmaps for global cellular products.
  • Ensure network integration with mobile operators complies with operating licenses.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline.
  • 5+ years of experience with integration of cellular networks (EPC, 5GC, and IMS).
  • 2+ years of experience with 3G, LTE, or 5G network delivery, automation, design and deployment.
  • Experience with transport network interfaces and protocols such as diameter, SCTP, GTP, S1/5/6a/8, NAS, and Gx/Rx.
  • Experience with RAN (Radio Access Network).
  • Master’s degree in an engineering discipline (preferred).
  • 5+ years of experience integrating and/or testing cellular 3G/4G/5G, WiFi, or similar protocol stacks (preferred).
  • U.S. citizen, national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee as required by ITAR.
