Do you enjoy solving complex problems at the intersection of wireless communications, data analysis, and machine learning? Do you want to work on real-world lte and 5g networks used by top mobile operators globally?
at spectrum effect, we build ai-driven, cloud-native solutions that automate the analysis and optimization of radio access networks (ran). Our flagship platform, spectrum-net, leverages python, large-scale data processing, and machine learning to deliver actionable insights to mobile operators worldwide. Spectrum-net is commercially deployed by the wireless industry's leading operators, performing ai-analysis of more than 8,000,000 nr and lte cells.
we're a fast-paced team of disrupters located in seattle and monterrey, combining deep rf expertise with modern software engineering (kubernetes, microservices, cloud).
we are looking for a wireless communications systems engineer (senior or mid-level) to help design and develop data-driven algorithms and analytics for lte and 5g networks.
this role is ideal for:
* experienced engineers in ran / rf optimization with strong python knowledge, or
* candidates with a master's or phd in electrical engineering, telecommunications, or related fields with strong analytical and programming skills
you'll work on real production networks, collaborating with both wireless experts and software engineers to build scalable, intelligent solutions.
what you'll do
* design and develop algorithms for lte / 5g network analysis and optimization
* analyze ran performance data (pm counters, kpis) using python (pandas, numpy)
* contribute to ai/ml-driven network analytics and feature development
* translate wireless network behavior into product features
* evaluate performance of new features in lab and live operator environments
* collaborate with software engineering teams to implement scalable solutions
* create technical documentation, reports, and research insights
* apply critical thinking and problem-solving to complex rf and data challenges
what we're looking for
background in lte / 5g nr / ran / rf engineering / wireless communications
