Open since Sep 2026
RAN Digital Twin Engineer
AI Summary
Develops a multi-RAT digital twin for Open RAN systems, integrating production RAN software with simulation models for LTE, 5G NR, and 2G, and builds AI/ML-based optimization capabilities.
About this role
What will you do:
-
Contribute to the development of a modular, multi-RAT RAN digital twin covering LTE and 5G NR.
-
Develop and integrate production software components with simulation and analysis tooling using stable and maintainable interfaces.
-
Work with software and system teams to model communication-system behavior, including traffic, mobility, scheduling, interference, and performance KPIs.
-
Support the extension of existing LTE simulation capabilities and reusable components for additional radio technologies.
-
Develop software components and tools in C/C++ and Python for simulation, automation, data processing, and analysis.
-
Support the development and evaluation of AI/ML-based capabilities for communication systems and network optimization.
-
Build datasets, experiment pipelines, and automated analysis tools to evaluate system behavior and algorithm performance.
-
Create reproducible tests and experiments across software builds and algorithm versions using defined scenarios, configurations, and KPIs.
-
Support simulation verification and validation activities, including comparison with lab results and analysis of model behavior.
- Build automated unit, component, end-to-end, regression, and performance tests and integrate them into CI/CD workflows.
-
Improve simulation speed, usability, observability, and automation so engineering teams can run repeatable experiments independently.
-
Debug issues across C/C++, Python, MATLAB, system software, configuration, and reference measurements.
-
Document assumptions, supported scenarios, limitations, and experiment results in a clear and structured way.
-
Work closely with RAN, PHY, system, AI/ML, automation, and validation teams to turn engineering questions into measurable experiments.
What you bring:
-
B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or an M.Sc. in a relevant field.
-
At least 2 years of hands-on software development experience in communication systems or a related telecom environment.
-
Strong software development skills in C or C++ and Python.
-
Good understanding of communication systems and the ability to learn new technologies and system concepts quickly.
-
Experience working in Linux development environments with Git, automated testing, and modern software development practices.
-
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate complex technical issues independently.
-
Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively with software, system, algorithms, and validation teams.
-
Simulation experience is not required; candidates with strong software and communication-system backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
Nice to have:
-
Experience with simulation environments, system-level modelling, or hardware-in-the-loop testing.
-
Knowledge of LTE and/or 5G NR, RAN, modem/PHY, or wireless communication systems.
-
Experience with MATLAB and communication-system simulation or analysis tools.
-
Hands-on experience with scientific computing and data analysis using NumPy, SciPy, pandas, or similar tools.
-
Exposure to AI/ML, time-series analysis, signal processing, or network optimization.
-
Familiarity with PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, or other machine-learning frameworks.
-
Knowledge of digital communications and signal processing concepts.
-
Experience with automated testing, containers, CI/CD, or cloud development environments.
-
Familiarity with SDR, radio test equipment, lab automation, or field-log analysis.
