• Work with industry ecosystem partners and customers to rapidly drive innovations into deployable products and solutions.
• Collaborate with industry standards and consortiums (3
  
  GPP, AI‑RAN, O‑RAN) for a transformational next‑G technology with AI‑native approaches.
• Drive development of new applications in ISAC, Semantic Communications, Physical AI at the Edge, and more.
• Drive system architecture, requirements, design, development, performance optimizations, and benchmarks for an AI‑for‑RAN software stack.
• Identify, pathfind, and develop new acceleration technologies for next‑generation NVIDIA hardware.

• MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 20+ years of proven industry experience.
• Deep technical knowledge of communication systems, communication theory, linear algebra, detection and estimation theory, baseband signal‑processing algorithms, and channel coding.
• Expertise in architecting and developing RAN applications and proven expertise in system‑level optimizations.
• Proven experience in 5G /L1 and L2 MAC‑scheduler algorithm design and development.
• Expertise in architecting wireless core technologies including accelerated user‑plane function (UPF).
• Deep expertise in AI and machine learning.
• Proven experience in applying AI techniques to RAN (L1, L2+) pipelines.
• Solid foundation in statistical analysis and mathematics behind RAN algorithms.
• Strong hands‑on experience with programming languages such as Python, C/C++, and MATLAB.
• Demonstrable experience working with telecom service providers deploying commercial networks (desired).

• Strong leadership, communication, and problem‑solving skills.
• Demonstrated success in leading impactful innovations and converting them to commercial products.
• Strong body of work at the intersection of AI, cloud, and wireless technologies.
• Strong exposure to wireless standardization and associated industry consortiums.
• Proven ability to excel in a fast‑paced and collaborative environment.
