What you will do:

• Learn and contribute to the systemization of Baseband features in the Physical Layer and Radio Resource Management (RRM) - think Beamforming, Massive MIMO, Carrier Aggregation, and Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS)
• Support the specification of 5G and 6G system functionality, including requirements, algorithms, and use cases - you'll see how cutting-edge standards are actually built
• Develop and maintain simulations at both the link-level and network-level - a fantastic way to build deep technical intuition early in your career
• Assist in system verification, analyze test results, and contribute to technical quality discussions alongside experienced engineers
• Participate in design reviews and grow your ability to contribute to complex cross-functional technical conversations
• Get exposure to real customer deployments, understanding how R&D work translates into live networks around the world

The skills you will bring:

• M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 0-5 year of experience programming in C/C++, Java, or MATLAB - Python is a bonus; we care more about your fundamentals and willingness to grow than mastery of every language
• Foundational knowledge of wireless communications theory - coursework in signal processing, OFDM, MIMO, or radio systems is exactly the kind of background we value
• Some familiarity with 3GPP standards - even academic exposure is a great starting point
• Curiosity, a problem-solving mindset, and the drive to work through complex technical challenges

Nice to have:

• Exposure to simulation environments (link-level or system-level) through coursework or research projects
• Any interest or coursework in cloud-native, virtualized RAN, or O-RAN concepts
• Awareness of how AI/ML is being applied to next-generation telecom systems - this space is growing fast and we'd love engineers who are excited about it
