What is the difference between Contract 3Gpp vs Contract LTE Engineer?

AspectContract 3GppContract LTE Engineer
Certifications3GPP standards, telecom certificationsLTE technology, telecom certifications
Work EnvironmentTelecom networks, R&D labsCell towers, network deployment sites
Industry UsageMobile network standards, protocol developmentLTE network deployment and optimization

Contract 3Gpp professionals focus on developing and implementing 3GPP standards for mobile networks, often working on protocol design and network architecture. In contrast, Contract LTE Engineers specialize in deploying, testing, and optimizing LTE networks. While both roles require telecom certifications and work within the mobile industry, Contract 3Gpp roles are more centered on standards and protocol development, whereas LTE Engineers focus on practical network deployment and performance.

* * *
The Opportunity:
Mastodon Design specializes in designing and building hardware and software to meet our customers' next requirement. We focus on offering devices that can be fielded immediately to meet the mission needs that lie directly ahead. Size, weight, power, and packaging are of paramount importance in everything we design and build. Our expertise allows us to rapidly provide these solutions in specialized electronic/mechanical design, embedded & application-level software, reverse engineering & protocol analysis, and RF signals and communications systems. U.S. Citizenship required. Successful candidates must be willing and able to obtain a security clearance.
We are seeking an FPGA Engineer to work on the development of our wireless product line. This role requires understanding of both theoretical and practical aspects of designing FPGA solutions for RF products. An ideal candidate will have demonstrable experience designing such solutions in a commercial environment with aggressive time-scales.
Are you seeking a truly creative, challenging technical opportunity? This role requires the ability to effectively collaborate with a cross functional design team. Candidates must possess solid interpersonal as well as excellent oral and written communication skills.
Responsibilities:
  • Responsible for designing, developing, modifying and evaluating electronic parts, components, integrated circuitry for electronic equipment, other hardware systems, or electrical engineering applications.
  • Duties may include analyzing equipment to establish operating data, conducting experimental tests and evaluating results as well as selecting components and equipment based on analysis of specifications and reliability.

Qualifications:
Required:
  • BS or MS in EE or similar field and experience in designing DSP/FPGA solutions
  • 3+ years of relevant experience
  • Ability to obtain and maintain minimally a Secret clearance
  • In-depth understanding of HDL coding in VHDL, Verilog and System Verilog
  • Pin and Timing Constraints management
  • Demonstrated ability to debug complex FPGA designs in system
  • Ability to implement and debug complex high-speed architectures like JESD204C, 2.5G, 10G, 40G, 100G Ethernet.
  • Ability to implement and debug VITA-49 transport layer in a system.
  • Communications systems, associated algorithms and their design. This includes an understanding of RF filters, signal modulation/demodulation, channel equalization/channel estimation, channel coding (FEC), RF signal acquisition, RF frequency control (AFC), RF gain control (AGC)
