Responsibilities:

• Lead the architecture, design and development of RAN Stack software for the Logos network.

• Design and build software components across SDR MAC/PHY, MAC Scheduling, RF management, traffic handling, and QoS.

• Design for dynamic network conditions, including changing topology, variable link quality, congestion, and failures.

• Work closely with control plane, data plane, embedded, and hardware teams to integrate the RAN stack into the broader network architecture.

• Participate directly in implementation, code reviews, design reviews, debugging, test strategy and system integration

• Ensure the quality, reliability, and scalability of the RAN Stack software

• Provide technical leadership and guidance to the software engineers.

• Translate product level goals into executable architecture, milestones and engineering deliverables.

• Work with product management teams to prioritize features and requirements.

• Work with quality assurance teams to ensure software quality and reliability.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field; Master's degree preferred.
