System Test Engineer, 5G/6G Wireless Interoperability - Wireless Technologies and Ecosystems

What you'll do

• Design and execute interoperability test plans across commercial and lab networks; analyze protocols and physical-layer behavior to identify and resolve issues.
• Build automated test frameworks and AI/ML-assisted diagnostic tools; contribute to test infrastructure, analysis pipelines, and reporting.
• Coordinate test scenarios with carrier, chipset, and internal engineering partners; track defects and validate features against evolving specifications.

What they ask for

• Master's degree (MS) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related field.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in wireless system testing, interoperability testing, or protocol validation.
• Deep knowledge of 3GPP standards, including 5G NR physical layer (FR1 and FR2/mmWave), RRC, NAS, and related protocols.
• Proficiency in scripting and automation (Python, shell, or similar); experience with AI/ML tools for test analysis, anomaly detection, or tool development.

Nice to have

• Experience with 6G research concepts, IMT-2030 frameworks, or pre-standard wireless technologies.
• Hands-on carrier interoperability testing or field trials; familiarity with 5G core, RF performance testing, embedded debugging, or CI/CD pipelines.
