RAN Systems Engineer 5G​/O-RAN

Position: RAN Staff Systems Engineer 5G / O-RAN
Join our team and help shape the future of connectivity indoors and outdoors.
Together, let's push the boundaries of technology and advance sustainable
networks worldwide.

How You'll Help Us Connect the World:

As a Systems Engineer, you will serve as the technical bridge between customer
requirements, product strategy, and engineering execution. This role focuses on
translating customer and product needs into detailed system requirements,
architecture definitions, and technical specifications that guide software,
hardware, and platform development. You will work across engineering, product
management, and customer teams to define how our RAN and DAS systems function,
integrate, and perform in real-world deployments. This role sits within the
Architecture & Engineering organization and supports development of converged
RAN + DAS wireless solutions. This role is based hybrid in Richardson, TX.

You Will Make an Impact By:

System Definition & Requirements Ownership

Translating customer, operator, and product requirements into detailed
technical system requirements
Defining functional behavior, interface specifications, and architecture
design for RAN and DAS platforms
Developing system design documentation describing platform, networking,
protocol, and software interactions
Identifying platform resource requirements including compute, memory, and
hardware interface considerations

Cross-Functional Engineering Leadership

Serving as the integration point between PLM, software, embedded, RF, and
platform engineering teams
Providing technical guidance to development teams throughout product
lifecycle
Driving system-level design reviews and requirement alignment across
engineering organizations
Supporting definition of feature roadmaps and system capabilities

Customer & Deployment Collaboration

Working directly with operator, enterprise, and neutral-host customers to
understand deployment requirements and performance expectations
Supporting field trials, interoperability testing, and acceptance activities
Translating field feedback and customer challenges into engineering
improvements and feature requirements

System Architecture & Integration

Defining system behavior across CU/DU/RU, DAS, and converged RAN
deployments
Supporting architecture development aligned with 3

GPP and O-RAN
specifications
Ensuring system integration across hardware, embedded software, networking,
and timing infrastructure
Analyzing system tradeoffs to balance performance, scalability, and
customer requirements

Performance & Troubleshooting

Supporting cross-layer system troubleshooting and performance analysis
Evaluating system behavior across networking, protocol, platform, and radio
subsystems
Contributing to system optimization and release readiness activities

Required Qualifications for Consideration:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or
related technical field
8+ years of experience in wireless infrastructure, telecommunications
systems, or RAN product development
Experience defining or authoring system requirements, architecture
documentation, or feature specifications
Strong understanding of LTE and 5G RAN architecture and wireless system
behavior
Experience working across software, hardware, and networking system domains
Exposure to customer deployments, interoperability testing, or carrier
acceptance activities
Working understanding of wireless protocols, networking technologies, and
platform integration concepts
Familiarity with O-RAN architecture and fronthaul technologies such as CPRI
or eCPRI
Experience working in cross-functional engineering environments

You Will Excite Us If You:

Have experience working for RAN vendors, wireless infrastructure providers,
or Open RAN ecosystem companies
Have contributed to product definition, system architecture, or
standards-driven development
Have supported carrier deployments, stadium networks, or enterprise wireless
deployments
Have familiarity with embedded software or scripting languages used for
system validation or automation
Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to customers and engineering
teams
