  •          Protocol Stack Analysis: Perform deep-dive log analysis of the cellular protocol stack (L1, MAC, RLC, RRC, and NAS layers) to identify and root-cause signaling failures, handovers, and throughput drops.
  •          System Performance Benchmarking: Characterize key performance indicators (KPIs) such as RSRP, SINR, BLER, and Peak Throughput under varying network conditions (fading, interference, and mobility).
  •          Test Automation: Design and maintain scalable automation frameworks using Python to increase test coverage and efficiency in lab and regression environments.
  •          Failure Analysis & Debugging: Collaborate with Firmware, Hardware, and System teams to debug complex system-level issues.
  •          Lab Management: Operate and configure high-end cellular network emulators and RF test equipment for both signaling and non-signaling test modes.

Skills:

  •          Category
  •          Common Tools
  •          Network Emulators
  •          Keysight (UXM), Rohde & Schwarz (CMW500/CMX500), Anritsu (MT8000A)
  •          Diagnostics
  •          Qualcomm QXDM/QCAT
  •          Automation & Data
  •          Python (PyTest), Git
  •          RF Analysis
  •          Keysight 89600 VSA, Tektronix Spectrum Analyzers

Education/Experience:

  •          Mid level System Validation Engineer with min 5 years of experience
  •          Education: B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related field.
  •          Cellular Expertise: Deep understanding of 5G NR (Standalone and Non-Standalone) and LTE-A features like Carrier Aggregation (CA), MIMO, Beamforming, and VoLTE/VoWiFi.
  •          Protocol Knowledge: In-depth familiarity with 3GPP protocols and the mobile device-to-network registration and call-flow processes.
  •          Hands-on RF Testing: Proficiency with RF lab equipment, including Spectrum Analyzers, Signal Generators, Power Meters, and Vector Network Analyzers (VNA).
  •          Programming: Strong proficiency in Python for test script development and data analysis.
  •          Log Analysis: Experience using diagnostic tools such as QXDM, QCAT, Wireshark, or similar modem logging software.
  •          Background in field testing, drive testing, or Inter-Operability Testing (IOT) with infrastructure vendors (Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung). Knowledge of RF front-end components (PA, LNA, Switches, Filters) and how they impact system-level cellular performance.

Location : Remote We're looking for a software engineer to help build and evaluate CUA (Computer Use Agents) — models trained to operate real software and complete computer-based tasks the way a skilled engineer would. You'll own complex, long-running technical workflows end to end — implementation, validation, documentation, and follow-through — and design and maintain the tasks, benchmarks, and test suites that measure CUA capability as the underlying models, APIs, and infrastructure keep evolving. You hold an exacting bar for code quality: you love writing tests, you're fluent with deployment strategies like canary releases and rollbacks, and you bring a strong sense of risk management. You have a sharp eye for weak implementations and give (and take) blunt, direct feedback. You're also fluent with AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, with your own well-developed best practices for using them, and you're proficient in Rust, Python, and/or TypeScript. Above all, you bring strong debugging and experimental discipline — the ability to investigate discrepancies across code, configuration, infrastructure, and results within the CUA stack, and turn ambiguous findings into reproducible conclusions.
