  • Experience with RAN lab equipment, including testbed setup and RF troubleshooting 
  • In-depth knowledge of 3GPP specifications and R17+ RAN features 
  • Experience with RAN lab equipment, including testbed setup and RF troubleshooting 
  • Strong skills in debugging and performance optimization; exceptional analytical skills and engineering fundamentals
