OpenAirInterface Software Alliance is hiring 5G RAN and Core Network Development and Test Engineers – US Based

The OpenAirInterface Software Alliance (OSA) wishes to strengthen its North American presence by building an US-based team of 5G Wireless experts developing and testing different components of the OpenAirInterface (OAI) software. To this end, the OSA is currently looking to hire several full-time wireless engineers and/or contractors with knowledge and expertise in 4G/5G Radio Access Network (RAN) development and Core Network (CN) development with strong skills in C/C++ programming. The successful candidates will contribute to the development and testing of 5G RAN and CN software stacks ranging from PHY layer to MAC, RRC, RLC, and PDCP layers on the RAN side and the functional blocks of AMF, SMF, UPF, and others of the 3GPP 5G Core Network. The Alliance already has developed a fully-functional and advanced 5G RAN gNB and UE software stack as well as a 5G CN available in the OAI GIT repositories. The candidates will base their developments for the next-in-line features on this work in compliance with 3GPP specifications.

Another aspect of the role is to conduct Interoperability Testing of the OAI 5G core and the gNB stack with commercial User Equipment (UE) and analyze the results to ensure proper functioning of all layers of the software stack. This involves working closely with the OAI CICD team based in France to develop testing tools and environments. Experience and strong skills in DevOps, Python, Ansible, Jenkins and similar CICD tools is required for this role.
