As a Sr. RAN Software Engineer (Starlink Mobile), you will join the Starlink Mobile program to develop a satellite-to-mobile network providing global cellular connectivity. You will lead the validation and optimization of the 4G/5G RAN software protocol stack, specifically building scalable CI/CD test automation frameworks for eNB/gNB feature validation. Your daily responsibilities include analyzing UE and eNB/gNB logs to root-cause issues, building data pipelines to optimize network KPIs, and maintaining RAN lab infrastructure. The role requires proficiency in Python, C, and C++, along with experience managing automated LTE/5G-NR test cases. You will apply deep knowledge of 3GPP specifications and R17+ RAN features to resolve software issues at the PHY, MAC, and RRC layers for direct-to-cell service.
