W Designer - 5G/6G Cloud RAN vDU Baseband
About The Position
We are looking for a talented and motivated SW Designer/Developer to join our 5G/6G Cloud RAN vDU Baseband development team. You will play a hands-on role in building and evolving the software that powers next-generation radio access networks, working across the full development lifecycle in a fast-paced, DevOps-oriented environment. As part of a forward-looking team, you will also have the opportunity to explore and apply AI tools and techniques where they add real value to your work. We are building a team that understands the value of AI as a practical engineering tool — whether that means using it to accelerate root cause analysis, improve code review workflows, or surface patterns across large-scale lab results. You don't need to be an AI expert, but curiosity and willingness to explore how AI can enhance real baseband development work is a definite plus.
Requirements
- BSc or MSc in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering
- Strong proficiency in C/C++, with hands-on experience in embedded or real-time software development and debugging
- Solid understanding of computer networks and wireless communications, including 3GPP NR specifications across RRM, MAC, RLC, PDCP, Physical Layer, and mobility
- Experience working in a Linux environment, with scripting ability in Python or Bash
- Familiarity with version control and CI/CD tooling: Git, Gerrit, Jenkins, GitLab, or Spinnaker
Nice To Haves
- Experience with Cloud RAN or vDU architectures
- Exposure to real-time or COTS hardware platforms in a RAN context
- Familiarity with Agile or DevOps development practices in a telecom environment
- Practical experience using AI tools in a software development context — such as AI-assisted coding, log analysis, automated diagnostics, or test generation
Responsibilities
- 3GPP Specification Implementation — Translating complex NR standards into reliable, high-quality software
- Algorithm Design & Implementation — Designing and coding scheduler and baseband algorithms that meet strict real-time performance requirements
- Unit & Multi-Component Test Design — Building meaningful tests that validate correctness, edge cases, and system behavior
- Requirement Analysis — Interpreting functional and system requirements and shaping how they are realized in software
- System Design — Contributing to architectural decisions and design discussions at the component and system level
- Tools Development — Creating internal tools that support development, analysis, and CI/CD workflows, including AI-assisted capabilities such as log analysis, anomaly detection, and performance diagnostics
- Documentation — Producing clear technical documentation that supports maintainability and knowledge sharing across the team
