About The Role
We are seeking a highly skilled Contract Core Network Engineer to join our team remotely, primarily supporting our 4G/5G core network initiatives. This role is pivotal in ensuring the stability, performance, and integration of the core network components delivered by our vendor partners. The successful candidate will be responsible for testing, troubleshooting, and collaborating directly with vendors to define feature requirements and facilitate smooth integration with our Radio Access Network (RAN).
This position offers an initial six-month contract with the possibility of extension or conversion to a permanent role, providing an excellent opportunity for professionals looking to contribute to advanced telecommunications infrastructure within a forward-thinking organization.
Qualifications The ideal candidate will possess substantial hands-on experience with 4G and 5G core networks, demonstrating a solid understanding of 3GPP standards. Candidates should be comfortable engaging in testing, troubleshooting, and defining feature requirements in collaboration with vendors. A working knowledge of RAN integration, including gNodeB and eNodeB, is preferred but not the primary focus.
High-level networking expertise is essential, though deep certifications are not mandatory. Candidates must be able to start immediately and work within Eastern or Central US time zones. Eligibility to work on ITAR-controlled programs in the United States is also required.
Responsibilities
Support an active core network project by backfilling a team member on leave, ensuring continuity of operations and project progress.
Test and troubleshoot core network elements and services throughout all phases from design to deployment, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
Collaborate directly with the core network vendor to define and refine feature requirements, ensuring alignment with organizational needs and standards.
Assist in the integration process between the vendor-delivered core network and the company's own RAN infrastructure, including gNodeB and eNodeB elements.
Participate in ongoing network optimization and troubleshooting efforts, providing expert insights to improve network performance.
Maintain comprehensive documentation of testing procedures, troubleshooting activities, and network configurations to support ongoing maintenance and future upgrades.
Benefits
As a contractor with Jobrapido, you will have the opportunity to work remotely within the US, enjoying flexible work hours aligned with Eastern or Central time zones. This role offers competitive hourly compensation based on experience and expertise. You will gain valuable experience working on cutting-edge 4G/5G core network projects within a prominent space and defense company, contributing to innovative telecommunications solutions.
The position also provides potential for contract extension or transition to a permanent role, offering career growth opportunities within a dynamic environment. Additionally, you will be part of a collaborative team that values your expertise and encourages continuous professional development.
