This role develops and evolves technical network and service architectures to support the organization's technology portfolio, with a focus on packet core systems providing data and voice connectivity. The position combines architecture design with hands-on engineering to support deployment and integration of 5G Core and EPC technologies. Success is measured by the effectiveness of architecture designs, technical documentation quality, and the ability to improve deployment efficiency and reduce reliance on external vendors. The work impacts organizational technology capabilities and customer service delivery through improved network and service architectures.
Job Responsibility:
Contribute to the design and implementation of packet core network solutions across 5G (SA/NSA) & 4G EPC environments, including SMF, UPF, SGW, and PGW
Design and support deployment of containerized packet core elements on platforms such as Kubernetes/OpenShift
Perform hands-on configuration and initial setup ("day 0") of packet core gateway platforms, including system bring-up, service provisioning, routing, and policy configuration
Support repeatable deployment and integration of packet core platforms into the network, working across engineering and operations teams
Design scalable and resilient solutions aligned with 3GPP standards and existing architecture frameworks
Collaborate with internal teams and vendors to translate business and service requirements into deployable network solutions
Analyze signaling and user-plane behavior to troubleshoot performance, interoperability, and service issues
Develop and maintain technical documentation including architecture designs, implementation procedures, and operational guidelines
Evaluate network simulations, test results, and platform performance to inform design improvements
Apply scripting and automation to improve deployment efficiency, configuration consistency, and operational workflows
Mentor and support associate engineers through technical guidance and knowledge sharing
Requirements:
Bachelor's Degree plus 5 years of related work experience OR Advanced degree with 3 years of related experience
Acceptable areas of study include Computer Science or Engineering or related field
5+ years of technical engineering experience with focus on mobile or packet core networks
Experience with packet core technologies across 4G EPC and/or 5G core networks
Hands-on experience with packet gateway platforms (e.g., Cisco, Nokia or similar), including system configuration and deployment
Strong understanding of packet core interfaces and protocols such as HTTP/2, GTP, PFCP, and IP networking fundamentals
Experience supporting deployment and integration of network platforms in production environments
Familiarity with cloud-native or containerized environments (e.g., Kubernetes, OpenShift)
Strong troubleshooting skills using logs, traces, packet captures, and performance metrics
Experience with scripting or automation tools such as Python, Bash, or Ansible
At least 18 years of age
Legally authorized to work in the United States
Nice to have:
Experience with containerized network functions (CNFs) and cloud-native packet core deployments
Exposure to automation frameworks or AI-assisted operational tools
Experience working in vendor or service provider environments supporting packet core deployments
