We’re looking for a Consultant or Principal Engineer to design and evaluate Radio Resource Management (RRM) and Network Optimisation algorithms, including AI/ML‑driven solutions for NEC’s next‑generation O‑RAN 5G products. You’ll combine original thinking with advanced simulation and data analysis to enhance NEC’s RRM and optimisation capabilities.

• Design and evaluate new RRM and optimisation algorithms (e.g., QoE, traffic steering, Massive MIMO, RAN sharing).
• Develop and run C++, MATLAB, and Python simulations; analyse results and generate insights.
• Contribute to feature specifications and technical documentation.
• Collaborate globally with NEC technical teams to drive innovation and quality improvements.

• Strong background in AI/ML techniques (e.g., supervised or reinforcement learning) using Tensor Flow, Keras, or PyTorch.
• Solid understanding of mobile communications systems.
• Proficient in C++, MATLAB, and Python.
• Excellent analytical, mathematical, and communication skills.
• Motivated, collaborative, and able to innovate under pressure.

• Experience designing RRM/network optimisation algorithms.
• Knowledge of system‑level network simulation or ns‑3.
• Work related to ad‑hoc networks.

Ideally a PhD applying AI/ML to mobile network optimisation (or equivalent experience).
