Contract

Duration: 7+ months

Pay Range: $40.46/hr. to $43.08/hr. on W2 | $50.00/hr. to $56.00/hr. on C2C

• Advanced C/C++ Development:
  Expert proficiency in C/C++ programming for low-level, high-throughput network engineering applications.
• O-RAN Architecture & Deployment:
  Hands-on experience developing and deploying Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) infrastructure within real-world environments.
• 5G Private Networks:
  Proven track record designing, configuring, and working within private 5G network architectures and standalone deployments.
• RAN Intelligent Controllers (RIC) & xApps:
  Experience developing xApps (near-real-time applications) and implementing radio resource control algorithms for cross-layer optimizations.
• Network Protocol & Software Integration:
  Understanding of the cellular protocol stack and the capability to co-develop User Equipment (UE)-side applications mapped to network backends.

• Advanced Research Foundation:
  Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a matching quantitative technical background.
• Cross-Layer Optimization:

• Automotive Telematics Exposure:
  Prior exposure or familiarity with embedding edge network infrastructures within automotive or connected vehicle testbeds (around 7+ years of experience).

We are seeking an elite Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) Engineer to architect and build next-generation network infrastructures on-site in Warren, MI. This role focuses on the end-to-end deployment of an O-RAN compatible private 5G network environment. The successful candidate will leverage strong C/C++ development skills to code low-level network behaviors and co-develop cutting-edge xApps. These applications will interact directly with radio resource control algorithms to drive deep cross-layer optimizations, drastically accelerating next-generation communication performance.

• Design, code, and deploy O-RAN networking infrastructures natively within standalone private 5G network testbeds.
• Write high-performance, robust C/C++ code to implement low-level networking controls and cellular software stacks.
• Co-develop intelligent User Equipment (UE)-side application wrappers alongside O-RAN-side radio resource control mechanisms.
• Engineer and launch custom xApps to execute real-time radio resource optimizations, verifying cross-layer application performance gains.
• Document architectural network configurations, boundary conditions, and test vectors to establish a highly reproducible, compliant cellular sandbox.
• Collaborate alongside specialized telematics, electrical engineering, and computing architecture groups to test physical integrations.
