Job Description

With our groundbreaking satellite 5G constellation, OQ Technology is a global leader in the domain of IoT communication connectivity and associated services. We are a venture capital backed company with a successful track record of satellite launches and the first company in the world to disrupt the telecommunication industry by merging cellular 5G with satellites.

Our technology will have massive implications to the Oil & Gas, Maritime, Industry 4.0, and Transport segments, particularly for the management and tracking of assets in remote and rural areas and extending 5G coverage through non-terrestrial networks.

As our wireless technologies are constantly evolving and winning multiple awards, with funding for the next phase secured, and commercial traction demonstrated, we are now looking to on-board a talented Software Developer for 4G/5G Networks.

Tasks

• You will be an Engineer for the wireless Non-Terrestrial Networks Group working on Core Network aspects of 3GPP 4G/5G Protocol Stack for Non-Terrestrial Networks and will be contributing towards the R&D and development activities of OQ Technology’s wireless & SATCOM group. You will also work closely with cross-functional teams from the space group and other branches of OQ Technology and external partners. Below is a summary of the typical tasks required for this post:
• Explore, Research, Develop and implement new functions/ algorithms/system Architectures related to 3GPP based 4G/5G communication core network functions over Non-terrestrial Networks in alignment with and as per the need of the organization’s business strategies
• Actively participate and contribute to the Design and implementation of (hands-on) features on the Core Network Aspects of the full telecommunication software stack including but not limited to the MME, SPGW, HSS, SMSF, CBCF.
• Development of new Core Network features based on standard requirements. You will take lead on the analysis of 3GPP, GSMA, ITU standard documentation and on the extraction and implementation of functional requirements for the Core Network.
• Development of RESTful interfaces for the Core Network according to the best practices and standard requirements of an SBA architecture.
• Develop system performance models and drive cross functional system engineering tasks related to the system performance optimization.
• Assume a leading role in a multi-disciplinary team of engineers with a wide range of skill sets including but not limited to: software development, firmware development, hardware development, data analysis,etc.
