What is a 5G RAN?

A 5G RAN (Radio Access Network) job involves designing, deploying, optimizing, and maintaining the radio network infrastructure for 5G wireless communications. Professionals in this role work on base stations, antennas, and signal processing to ensure efficient network performance and coverage. They collaborate with network engineers, vendors, and operators to enhance capacity, reduce latency, and support new technologies like Massive MIMO and beamforming. This job requires expertise in wireless protocols, RF engineering, and telecom standards such as 3GPP and O-RAN.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the 5G RAN position?

To thrive in a 5G RAN (Radio Access Network) role, you need expertise in wireless communication principles, network architecture, and hands-on experience with 5G technologies, typically supported by a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with telecom tools such as network simulators, protocol analyzers, and vendors' RAN management systems, along with certifications like Nokia, Ericsson, or Huawei RAN, is highly valued. Strong analytical thinking, effective communication, and the ability to troubleshoot under pressure are standout soft skills. These abilities ensure efficient deployment, optimization, and maintenance of 5G networks in a rapidly evolving telecommunications environment.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in 5G RAN roles?

Professionals in 5G RAN roles often face the challenges of rapidly evolving technology, integrating new network components alongside legacy systems, and ensuring optimal network performance in diverse and complex environments. Troubleshooting unexpected network issues, managing increased data loads, and keeping up with frequent software and hardware updates are part of the typical workflow. These challenges require continuous learning and adaptability, but they also offer opportunities to develop advanced technical expertise and play a key role in deploying cutting-edge wireless technologies.

Job description

Description

Type: Full-Time(W2) On-site/Hybrid, Arlington, VA


We are looking for a skilled test engineer to join our team focused on testing O-RAN DU software and hardware components. The role involves planning, designing, and executing test cases to ensure conformance, interoperability, performance, and reliability of an O-RAN DU in compliance with O-RAN Alliance and 3GPP specifications. The candidate will work closely with development, integration, and network teams to validate DU functionality within the O-RAN architecture.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Contribute to, develop, and execute test plans, cases, and scripts for O-RAN DU software and related interfaces.
  • Perform conformance testing to verify compliance with O-RAN and 3GPP standards.
  • Conduct interoperability (IOT) testing between an O-RAN DU and other network elements such as O-CU and O-RU.
  • Execute end-to-end (E2E) testing scenarios to validate the complete O-RAN communication chain.
  • Identify, log, and track defects; work collaboratively with development teams to resolve issues.
  • Automate test cases and contribute to CI/CD pipelines to support continuous testing.
  • Validate performance metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) to ensure the DU meets required standards.
  • Participate in site commissioning and integration support.
  • Prepare detailed test reports, documentation, and provide feedback for product improvements.
  • Stay updated with latest O-RAN Alliance releases, specifications, and testing methodologies.


Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical  experience.
  • At least 3 years of hands-on experience in a lab, test, or integration role.
  • Familiarity with 4G/5G RAN concepts and 3GPP standards.
  • Proficiency with Python and shell scripting, and experience automating test execution.
  • Comfortable working day-to-day in Linux, with a solid understanding of IP networking fundamentals.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional teams.
  • A hands-on troubleshooting instinct: comfortable working with lab hardware, protocol analyzers, and log files to isolate a problem.
  • Self-directed: able to pick up an unfamiliar protocol stack from the specifications and turn a loosely defined test objective into a plan and a set of results with limited supervision.


Preferred Experience:

  • Experience at a RAN vendor, mobile network operator, or test-and-measurement company.
  • Hands-on experience with srsRAN, OpenAirInterface, or other open-source RAN software, or a track record of open-source contributions.
  • Working knowledge of O-RAN architecture and interfaces (F1, E2, Open Fronthaul, A1).
  • Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), cloud-native environments, and test management tooling.
  • Experience with multi-antenna and/or massive MIMO test setups.
  • Experience with CI/CD tools and automated testing frameworks.
  • Experience testing network software deployed in virtualized or containerized environments on COTS servers (SR-IOV, DPDK, CPU pinning, real-time kernel tuning).
  • Experience with performance and stress testing using RAN test equipment.
  • Familiarity with security testing within telecom environments.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
