Description

Core responsibilities 

• Reduce broad account concepts and business strategies into structured, multi-workstream deployment projects

• Act as the key technical lead and go-to person for Department or Senior Management on the most complex or highest-impact deployment engagements

• Architect and own solutions to problems that require a unique or highly specialized skill set

• Work onsite or closely with wireless customer development teams during major feature introductions

• Analyze signaling flows, traces, timing behavior, and performance data to isolate failures across Keysight and customer implementations

• Write and modify application and protocol-stack software, plus the supporting software and firmware the customer environment requires

• Develop and extend Python APIs that customer teams integrate against

• Build automation workflows inside the customer's workflows

• Create diagnostic instrumentation when existing tools are insufficient

•Develop, validate, and deploy controlled patches, feature flags, and interim releases under Keysight's release process

• Run rapid prototyping loops directly with customers to test and iterate on new features based on live feedback

• Act as a feedback loop to the core product and engineering teams, translating field problems into engineering requirements and defects for product management and R&D

• Incorporate broadly applicable field-developed improvements into the core product

• Mentor lower-level engineers and help develop the broader forward deployment engineering team Qualifications Typically requires a Bachelor's or Master's degree (or equivalent) and 8+ years of relevant software/systems engineering experience. Post-graduate study and/or relevant certification/license may be required.

 • Strong software-development experience across multiple software stacks

• Preferred expertise in at least one domain (PHY/L1, MAC/RLC/PDCP and L2, or RRC/NAS and L3), plus working knowledge of adjacent layers and end-to-end 4G, 5G, and 5G-Advanced system behavior

 • Proficiency in C/C++ and Python (including API development), Linux, embedded or real-time software, and automated testing

• Experience debugging protocol interactions through logs, traces, packet captures, call flows, and timing analysis • Familiarity with 3GPP specifications and the practical differences among standards compliance, interoperability, and implementation behavior

 • Experience in design and test instrumentation and test emulation tools

 • Ability to produce production-quality code that ships in a customer's build

• The judgment and customer presence to operate inside confidential development programs

• Excellent communication skills; able to explain technical trade-offs to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders

 • Willingness to relocate or travel to a specific customer site as required by the assignment

• Specialized depth and/or breadth of expertise across multiple protocol layers, software stacks, and deployment domains

• Demonstrated technical leadership: ability to design solutions to unusually complex problems and set direction for other engineers travel Requirement: Up to 50% travel to local client sites. Occasional international travel may also be required
