About The Position

We are looking for someone to help design and implement optimal algorithms in the cloud by leveraging features offered by existing and new Wi-Fi standards like Wi-Fi 7, culminating in an optimal Wi-Fi network performance. Determine appropriate Wi-Fi metrics originating from both Wi-Fi clients and Wi-Fi Access Points to accurately assess and improve Quality of Experience. Determine parameters that can be controlled on Wi-Fi clients and in the Wi-Fi infrastructure Access Points, that can improve performance of Wi-Fi links in complicated environments. Analyze collected stats, and on the basis of observations, define architecture and algorithms for managing Wi-Fi connections. Implement the architecture into real time and offline algorithms, including machine learning and formal optimization. Define monitoring methods to show the quality of Wi-Fi networks and its constituents links. Define statistics and dashboards allowing service providers to understand the status and quality of connections across their entire network. Telecommuting permitted pursuant to company policy.
