Solutions Architect

Base pay range$135,000.00/yr - $165,000.00/yrRole overviewThe Lead RAN Solutions Architect position resides in the Wireless Technologies department at CableLabs. This department conducts research and development in new and emerging wireless technologies that include 4G, 5G, 6G, Wi-Fi, and spectrum sharing strategies. Our team plays a crucial role in developing industry standards and technical regulatory policy for mobile and Wi-Fi network design, deployment, service delivery and operations in licensed, unlicensed, and shared spectrum.Why This Role Is ExcitingThe Lead RAN Solutions Architect will be responsible for developing solutions and new technologies of converged wireless and wired networks, including 5G/6G, DOCSIS, NTN, and Wi-Fi. The Architect will develop end-to-end solutions including network architecture and design, network and service performance requirements, technology roadmap, definitions of requirements and configurations, and technology/vendor evaluation. In this role, you will be involved in developing converged networks that will integrate 5G/6G, DOCSIS, Wi-Fi, and NTN networks onto a single infrastructure offering seamless connectivity and service. The role will require interacting with vendors, operators, and standard bodies.What You’ll DoResearch and develop end-to-end solutions for converged networks, including 5G/6G, DOCSIS, NTN, and Wi-FiDevelop, test and integrate 5G PHY/MAC layer features to improve service delivery, reliability and performanceResearch and develop models and simulation tools using MATLAB, Python that predict performance of converged networks, including link budgets, RF propagation, seamless connectivity, and mobile performanceConduct lab and field measurements to validate performance and solutions which will include using a spectrum analyzer, network vector analyzer, vector signal generator, and other measurement toolsBe responsible for the functional and performance integration of new productsWork closely with standards bodies (e.g. 3GPP, GSMA, IEEE) to provide technical contributions on relevant topicsDevelop calibration and performance optimization proceduresDesign architecture and vendor solution roadmapDocument and write the necessary papers or technical reports on research outcomesQualificationsWhat Is a Must Have5-10 years’ experience in system integration and deployment of 5G or mobile networksMaster's or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a similar field with an emphasis on Telecommunications.Strong expertise in 5G NR PHY and MAC layers and 3GPP standardsSolid understanding of converged networksStrong expertise in MATLAB, Python, and C/C++ code programming.Strong expertise in channel modeling, RF propagation, and RF interference analysis of terrestrial and non-terrestrial networksHands-on lab experience with spectrum analyzer, network vector analyzer, and vector signal generatorAbility to perform and deliver, individually or collaboratively, with minimum supervisionWhat Will Set You ApartFamiliarity with DOCSIS networks and MAC and PHY layer protocolsFamiliarity with 5G core and 3GPP Service and System Aspects (SA) standardsExperience in 3GPP, IEEE, GSMA industry standards activitiesComprehensive knowledge of wireless communications, radio propagation, antenna theory, digital signal processing, and RF principles.Excellent analytical skills and critical thinking skills.Excellent verbal and written communication and interpersonal skillsSelf-motivated and willingness to learn.Seniority levelMid-Senior levelEmployment typeFull-timeJob functionInformation Technology, Sales, and Business DevelopmentIndustriesStaffing and Recruiting, Energy Technology, and Technology, Information and Media #J-18808-Ljbffr
