Role Summary

Implement O-RAN technology across 4G/5G mobile networks across various mobile service operators globally. Perform acceptance testing and verification of O-RAN implementations across operators. Responsible for Rf designing, performance, and optimization tuning during and after the implementation of O-RAN. Perform RAN and RF parameter configuration implementation and testing. Troubleshoot issues during implementation and perform parameter tuning for optimal performance. Responsible for customer training and mentoring of O-RAN technology. Perform O-RAN capacity regression. Lead First Office application (FOA) field trials before commercial launch. Study incumbent supplier parameters and adapt O-RAN parameters during pre and post analysis. Help develop automation frameworks like Real Time and Near Real time RIC. Closely work with multiple Inter-Operability Testing (IOT) engagements across Radio, UE chipsets and RAN system integration detailing. Lead integration of O-RAN virtualization activities across multiple CaaS, PaaS engagements. Help develop AI/ML capabilities for operationalizing O-RAN. Improve operationality capabilities to match/better incumbent RAN systems in terms of identify key alarming and KPI capabilities. Drive testing and Post processing in details to find issues and recommend changes to improve RAN performance. Position is fixed based in Richardson, TX office; However, telecommuting from a home office location is allowed. The occupation requires travel up to 30% of the time. The travel is frequent domestic travel within the US to client locations (5-8 visits) and some international travel (3-4 visits).
