💼 About This Role

You'll lead the definition, integration, and optimization of LTE/5G radio systems for AST SpaceMobile's satellite-ground infrastructure, the first space-based cellular broadband network accessible by standard phones. Your core impact will be tuning eNB/gNB behavior to maximize throughput, coverage, and reliability over a non-terrestrial deployment. This role uniquely combines deep RAN expertise with product roadmap ownership and customer-facing technical leadership.

🎯 What You'll Do

• Lead end-to-end RAN performance optimization for eNB/gNB behavior
• Own cell- and network-level performance modeling and analysis
• Define, prioritize, and sequence RAN feature roadmap delivery
• Drive feature provisioning from requirements through integration and validation

📋 Requirements

• BSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, or related field
• 8–12 years in cellular system engineering, RAN performance, or architecture roles
• Expertise in 3GPP specifications for 4G and 5G
• Firm understanding of PHY/MAC/RLC/PDCP/RRC layers

✨ Nice to Have

• Experience with non-terrestrial networks (NTN) or space-ground hybrid architecture
• Hands-on background with beamforming systems, antenna arrays, and RF front-end constraints
• Knowledge of fronthaul protocols (CPRI/eCPRI) and transport in constrained environments
