Vacant job

Join our Team

About this opportunity:

We are seeking an experienced and forward-thinking gNodeB/NodeB Architecture Realization expert to join a medium-sized, open culture team focused on shaping the future of RAN compute platforms. In this role, you will influence decisions on future technology and systematization for next-generation radio access networks (including long-term views toward 6G and AI-driven solutions). You will work alongside senior technical leaders and take part in challenging, high-impact projects that define platform architecture and realization for NodeB/eNodeB/gNodeB deployments.

What you will do:

• Lead architectural realization activities for gnodeB/NodeB compute and hardware platforms, translating strategic requirements into practical designs and implementation roadmaps.
• Define system architecture, interfaces, and performance targets for RAN compute, accelerators, fronthaul integration, and hardware/software co-design.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (software, hardware, test, operations, and product management) to ensure coherent end-to-end solutions.
• Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers; provide technical guidance and review design proposals.
• Prepare and deliver high-quality technical presentations to stakeholders and senior management to drive alignment and decisions.
• Evaluate emerging technologies (6G enablers, AI/ML accelerators, DPDK, SR IOV, FPGA/ASIC approaches) and propose roadmaps for adoption and standardization.
• Drive proof of concepts and systematization studies; capture lessons learned and feed them into design patterns and systematization efforts.
• Contribute to requirements, risk assessments, and measurable success criteria for architecture initiatives.
• Interface with external partners like AMD, Intel, Nvidia, and others.

The skills you bring: Essential

• Strong experience in systems architecture with a focus on RAN compute hardware and platform realization.
• Deep technical understanding of NodeB/gNodeB architecture, fronthaul/topology considerations, and hardware/software co-design.
• Proven ability to mentor others and act as a role model for engineering practices.
• Excellent technical presentation and communication skills; able to explain complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strategic, futuristic mindset with the ability to understand and evaluate complex business scenarios and translate them into technical approaches.
• Solid experience with evaluation of compute accelerators (FPGA, ASIC, GPU/TPU) and virtualization/networking technologies used in cloud RAN.

Desirable / Learnable on the job

• Mandatory to have system architecture and leadership skills.
• Mandatory experience producing business proposals regarding RAN compute to senior management and high technical forums.
• Domain-specific standards familiarity outside of RAN compute (can be acquired quickly through team collaboration).
