Job description

Core Network Engineer - Nokia
Location: Plano, TX, US (On-site, Local Candidates Only)
Contract Type: 3-Month Contract (C2C)
Travel: None Required
Final round will be onsite interview
Hands-on operational experience with Nokia Packet Core (UPF, SMF, AMF, PCF), strong understanding of Packet Core call flows, degradation/failure scenarios, alarm patterns, KPIs, and L3/L4 support or NOC experience.
Company Overview
Our client is a leading multinational telecommunications technology company seeking a skilled Core Network Engineer to provide operational expertise in Nokia Packet Core networks. This is a time-sensitive project requiring on-site presence in Plano, TX.
Role Summary
The Core Network Engineer will act as a subject matter expert (SME) for Packet Core operations, ensuring that analytics and root cause analysis (RCA) results are accurate, credible, and actionable from a Core Network Operations (NOC) perspective. This is a domain validation and governance role, not a development role, supporting a pilot project with a strong focus on operational integrity.
Key Responsibilities
  • Provide SME guidance on Nokia Packet Core network functions (UPF, SMF, AMF, PCF).
  • Validate alarm correlations and RCA signatures against actual operational behavior.
  • Define and assess success criteria from a Core Ops/NOC perspective.
  • Identify incorrect correlations, false positives, and missing scenarios.
  • Support interpretation of analytics outputs for operations and engineering teams.
  • Contribute to pilot findings, recommendations, and next-step decisions.
Required Technical Skills
  • Hands-on operational experience with Nokia Packet Core (UPF, SMF, AMF, PCF).
  • Strong understanding of Packet Core call flows and common degradation/failure scenarios.
  • Knowledge of alarm patterns and KPIs.
  • Experience in L3/L4 support, NOC, or ATAC-type environments.
Preferred Experience
  • Exposure to national-scale Core Network environments.
  • Familiarity with adjacent Core functions: USD, UDM, PCF, Charging, IMS Voice Core.
  • Experience participating in RCA, incident reviews, or post-mortems.
