Job description


As a Mission Critical Communication Solutions Test Engineer, you will play a vital role in ensuring the performance, functionality, and conformance of our mission-critical ecosystem. Your primary focus will be on validating and verifying the UE and gNB systems, as well as the MCC mission communication center (OAM). With hands-on experience in 3GPP standards and test tools, you will execute comprehensive tests, analyze results, and collaborate with development teams to enhance our products.
Responsibilities
  • Plan, execute, and document test cases for 5G NR UE and gNB systems in SA modes.
  • Perform protocol, performance, and functional testing based on 3GPP TS 38.xxx standards.
  • Validate Layer 1 (PHY), Layer 2 (MAC/RLC/PDCP), and Layer 3 (RRC/NGAP) signaling and procedures.
  • Utilize test tools such as Keysight UXM, Rohde & Schwarz, Anritsu, Viavi, or Spirent for test scenarios.
  • Analyze log files from UE and gNB using tools like QXDM, QCAT, Wireshark, and vendor-specific logs.
  • Develop and maintain test automation scripts in Python or similar languages.
  • Collaborate with development teams to triage and resolve defects efficiently.
  • Participate in Interoperability Testing (IoT) with network equipment vendors and UE chipsets.
  • Support field and lab testing, including mobility scenarios, throughput, and end-to-end data testing.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or Master's in Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in testing 4G/5G systems, with a focus on UE and gNB.
  • Strong understanding of 3GPP 5G NR specs (38.3xx, 38.4xx, 38.5xx).
  • Proficiency in log analysis tools like QXDM, QCAT, TEMS, and Wireshark.
  • Hands-on experience with commercial 5G test platforms (Keysight, R&S, Anritsu, Viavi).
  • Scripting skills in Python, Perl, or Bash.
  • Familiarity with Linux environments and basic shell commands.
  • Solid knowledge of IP networking, TCP/UDP, and routing.
  • Experience in testing advanced 5G features is preferred.
  • Exposure to test automation frameworks and virtualization technologies is an asset.
