We're hiring a Wireless Solutions Architect to help shape the future of mobile connectivity. This is a high-impact role focused on designing and delivering next-generation wireless networks using Open RAN, 5G Standalone (SA), and virtualised RAN (vRAN/xRAN) technologies.

Youll lead the architecture of scalable, cloud-native RAN systems across diverse deployment scenarios, working with multi-vendor components and cutting-edge frameworks like O-RAN Split 7.2x. From RF planning and system modelling to integration and performance optimisation, youll drive technical excellence across the full RAN stack.

What you'll be doing:

• Architecting advanced wireless solutions (RU/DU/CU) for public and private 5G deployments
• Leading end-to-end design, validation, and integration of vRAN/xRAN technologies
• Collaborating with engineering teams and technology partners to align designs with business goals
• Delivering secure, scalable, and interoperable network solutions that meet performance and compliance standards

What you'll bring:

• Deep expertise in 5G SA, Open RAN, and cloud-native RAN architecture
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, CNFs, and orchestration tools (Linux, Python, Ansible)
• Strong understanding of RF principles, Massive MIMO, beamforming, and network slicing
• Proven success in large-scale telecom deployments across multi-vendor environments
