The selected candidate will analyze and develop cellular protocol implementations across 3G, LTE, and 5G environments. Additionally, this role involves performing software engineering using C, C++, and Python, executing structured test plans in laboratory or field environments, and contributing to test automation efforts.

Job Responsibilities:

• Support the design, development, integration, testing, and evaluation of cellular and wireless communication capabilities in support of Government research, development, and test activities.
• Develop and assess cellular protocol implementations across 3G, LTE, and 5G environments.
• Perform software engineering activities including design, coding, integration, debugging, and maintenance using C, C++, and Python.
• Develop, execute, and refine test plans, procedures, and protocols for laboratory, simulated, over-the-air, and field test events.
• Support test and evaluation activities through test preparation, execution, data collection, data reduction, analysis, reporting, and briefing development.
• Evaluate protocol behavior, vulnerabilities, quality of service characteristics, device performance, and implementation tradeoffs across wireless systems.
• Support software unit, integration, and system-level testing, including regression testing, requirements traceability, and verification and validation activities.
• Contribute to test automation efforts that improve consistency, repeatability, rigor, and efficiency of test events.
• Analyze system and test data and develop technical recommendations to improve performance, reliability, and mission effectiveness.
• Prepare technical reports, test documentation, briefing materials, and other work products required in support of customer objectives.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary Government and contractor teams supporting engineering, software, RF analysis, modeling and simulation, and test infrastructure efforts.
• Support work in secure and classified environments and travel as required to support customer test events and mission needs.
