o Architect scalable, low-latency, and high-throughput frameworks capable for next generation RAN software systems.
o Establish software architecture specifications, design principles, and best practices to ensure modularity, resilience, and long-term maintainability. Provide architectural governance and technical insight throughout the wireless product.
2. Advanced Performance Engineering & Co-Design
o Drive software–algorithm and software–hardware co-design initiatives to maximize system efficiency across heterogeneous compute platforms (CPU, DSP, ASIC, or accelerator-based architectures).
o Drive optimization strategies in parallel processing, pipeline design, memory hierarchy utilization, lock-free/concurrent systems, and data-path acceleration.
o Identify and resolve system-level bottlenecks through rigorous profiling, modeling, and performance validation.
3. Breakthrough Innovation & Technology Strategy
o Spearhead research and technical innovation to enhance system capacity and computational scalability.
o Contribute to long-term technical roadmaps aligned with next generation RAN product.
o Evaluate emerging technologies and lead proof-of-concept development for next-generation wireless architectures.
4. Cross-Functional & Global Collaboration
o Partner closely with algorithm, hardware, chipset, and system engineering teams to ensure cohesive architecture alignment and seamless integration.
o Translate high-level product requirements into detailed technical specifications and executable engineering plans.
Qualifications and Requirements:
o PhD or MSc in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Wireless Communication, or a related field.
o Minimum of 5 years of industry experience in wireless communications, with strong expertise in 4G/5G Layer 2/Layer 3 stacks and/or a related domain.
o Solid knowledge in Radio Access Network (RAN) and wireless communication including: Various types of scheduling, Link adaptation, MIMO technologies (SU-MIMO, MU-MIMO), Control Plane and/or User/Data plane processing.
o Proven experience in the architecture, design, or development of large-scale, high-complexity software products/systems, including:
· Developing, refactoring or optimizing large-scale systems with high complexity,
· Designing or implementing heterogeneous parallel computing architecture e.g., multi-core CPU, DSP, FPGA, accelerator-based systems.
Preferred Technical Expertise/Skills:
o Advanced proficiency in C/C++ programming with strong expertise in embedded and real-time systems development.
o Hands-on experience with embedded platforms in wireless communication systems, including ASIC-based solutions e.g., DSP architectures, and general-purpose processors e.g., ARM, x86/Intel architectures.
o Extensive professional experience in the design and implementation of Layer 2 and/or Layer 3 algorithms and software for purpose-built RAN and cloud-native RAN environments.
o Solid expertise in software-hardware co-design and system-level optimization, including:
§ Microprocessor architecture design and performance tuning
§ Memory hierarchy, cache architecture, and task scheduling optimization
§ Compiler-level optimization and code generation strategies
§ Power efficiency analysis and optimization for high-performance wireless systems
o Strong knowledge in AI/ML applications in wireless communications, and working experience Generative AIs or Large language models (LLMs) applied to protocol optimization, network intelligence, or system automation are considered a strong advantage.
