JOB INFORMATION

The position is explicitly described as an onsite role in Bedminster, NJ with an initial six-month duration and opportunity for extension.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Eligibility clarification:
The JD says, “Please focus on 2025/2026 PhD Graduates,” but does not state that a PhD is mandatory. Therefore, the PhD profile is classified as
Preferred
, while the Master's degree requirement is classified as
Required
.

Not stated in the Job Description:
Visa/work authorization, relocation policy, travel requirement, employment classification, rate/compensation restriction, or required certifications.

MUST-HAVES — 80% OF TOTAL CANDIDATE SCORE

The JD expressly requires 5G architecture, Java development, hands-on AI/ML, application transformation/performance optimization, and experience with the listed telecom and engineering technologies.

Scoring note for M1:
Evidence showing experience in a
telecom service-provider environment
should strengthen the candidate's evidence for M1 because the JD separately requires that background.

NICE-TO-HAVES — 20% OF TOTAL CANDIDATE SCORE

The preferred section specifically identifies network automation/orchestration/observability, Kubernetes, microservices, hybrid cloud, and AIOps/network analytics/predictive maintenance.

One item for Account Manager review

The biggest point worth confirming with the client is the
2025/2026 PhD graduate language
. The JD simultaneously says to “focus on” recent PhD graduates while listing a
Master's degree
under Required Qualifications. I have therefore locked
Master's = Required
and
2025/2026 PhD = Preferred
rather than treating the PhD as a disqualifying eligibility gate.
