A 5G Testing job involves evaluating and validating the performance, reliability, and security of 5G networks, devices, and infrastructure. Test engineers conduct various tests, including functional, performance, interoperability, and compliance testing, using specialized tools and equipment. They work closely with network operators, equipment manufacturers, and software developers to ensure seamless connectivity and optimal user experience. The role requires knowledge of wireless technologies, networking protocols, and test automation.
To succeed in 5G Testing, you need a solid background in telecommunications, network protocols, wireless technologies, and a degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Familiarity with common test tools such as spectrum analyzers, protocol analyzers, drive test tools, and relevant certifications like ISTQB or CCNA are highly valuable. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective collaboration skills set candidates apart in this role. These skills are essential for accurately assessing and optimizing 5G networks to meet stringent performance and reliability standards.
Daily responsibilities in a 5G Testing role often include preparing and executing test cases, analyzing network performance data, troubleshooting issues, and documenting results for various network scenarios. Professionals may collaborate closely with network engineers, software developers, and sometimes even vendors to ensure equipment and network nodes comply with 5G standards. Field tests, lab-based experiments, and simulations are also common, depending on the project needs. These tasks ensure the reliability, speed, and quality of 5G deployments in real-world environments.

About the Opportunity
Job Summary:The Open6G group at the Institute for the Intelligent Networked Systems (INSI), Northeastern University, is leading research and development, testing and integration, and system integration for next-generation wireless systems. We envision programmable and intelligent cellular networks that can be dynamically and algorithmically instrumented and optimized through software and AI. We lead key research in Open Radio Access Network (RAN) systems, contributing to the O-RAN ALLIANCE, and we are a founding member of the AI-RAN Alliance. We work with an industry consortium of 20+ companies, driving research into new approaches and paradigms for cellular systems. Our private 5G/6G testbed features open and open-source software and commercial equipment, seamlessly integrated to provide an advance research, development, and integration environment to students and researchers in the Institute. We support multiple startups and established companies in their testing and integration needs, and we are the first O-RAN Open Testing and Integration Center (OTIC) to have released a certificate in North America.
Key responsibilities:We are looking for Assoc/Sr/Principal/Research Scientist role who can lead research activities across the center, developing innovative solutions to rethink software, hardware, and systems for cellular networks. We consider research scientist/associate research scientist/principal research scientist according to the level of experience and research profile.
The Research Scientist will lead federal, state, and industry funded research programs on programmable cellular networks, Open RAN, spectrum sharing, channel modeling and emulation, network automation, among others. This role involves activities related to ideation, design, and implementation of innovative solutions for next-generation cellular networks, AI for/and/on wireless, wireless testbeds, conducting experimental research and field trials. The RSs will be responsible for outreach and develop contributions for the O-RAN and AI-RAN Alliances to facilitate the transition of Open6G research into demonstrations and specifications.
The Research Scientist will contribute to research development activities (grant writing, proposal ideation). Successful candidates have deep knowledge of cellular systems, 3GPP, open RAN, research in automation, embedded and/or RF systems, system engineering, and AI. The RSs will work in and coordinate with a multi-disciplinary, heterogeneous team, but also lead of specific project features and tasks toward their complete implementation. We are excited to look for our future colleagues in this research journey toward open, programmable, and intelligent cellular networks.
Minimum Qualifications:Experience as a research scientist or postdoc is required
Publication record in topics relevant to Open6G research
Experience with successful grant writing and funding applications
Established research profile
Publications in top-tier networking, wireless, and/or AI conferences and transactions that demonstrate research independence and creativity
Experience with experimental research
Knowledge of cellular systems, 3GPP, and open RAN
Linux and Kubernetes are a plus
Depending on the prior experience and qualifications, we may consider research scientist, associate research scientist, principal research scientist for this position.
