Description
You will provide subject matter expertise for RU and RAN/vRAN/ORAN technologies in a virtualized, cloud-native 5G network environment.
Responsibilities
- Lead the development of operational and assurance standards to ensure radio access networks meet design specifications.
- Analyze service and system issues to determine root causes and implement corrective actions, such as configuration changes or new operational procedures.
- Participate in vendor engineering reviews of hardware and software development within lab Proof of Concept environments.
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues with deployed RF and RAN systems alongside market teams.
- Develop performance monitoring metrics and service assurance standards using KPI metrics.
Required Skills
- 8+ years of experience in the wireless industry.
- Extensive understanding of 5G ORAN/vRAN split functions including 7-2x, RU, DU, CU, CP, and UP.
- Deep knowledge of RAN/vRAN software architectures in virtualized environments.
- Experience with RF Radio operations over eCPRI interfaces, including CSR, DU, and timing configurations.
- Thorough understanding of vRAN/ORAN architecture as described in 3GPP standards (Rel 15 & 16).
- Experience with virtualized networks, orchestration, and automation across large network architectures.
- Ability to analyze LTE, VoLTE, and 5G VoNR L2/L3 call flows using PCAP and gNB traces.
- Understanding of latency considerations from gNB to Data Center locations.
- Proficiency with RAN, KPI, CI/CD, and PCAP tools.
Preferred Skills
- Experience in RF Design, Optimization, and performance improvement.
