Join the Future of Wireless: Lead RAN Solution Architect

Salary Range: $130k to $165k

Location: Hybrid, Louisville, CO
Department: Wireless Technologies Innovation & R&D
Type: Full-Time | Engineering Leadership | Cutting-Edge Wireless

Are you ready to architect the networks of tomorrow?
From 5G to 6G, DOCSIS to NTN, and everything in between we re looking for a bold, brilliant mind to join our Wireless Technologies team and help shape the next era of global connectivity.

The Role: Lead RAN Solution Architect

As Lead RAN Solution Architect, you won t just work on the network you ll redefine it. You ll design and develop full-stack wireless solutions spanning 5G/6G, DOCSIS, NTN, and Wi-Fi, crafting the architectures and roadmaps that power next-gen connectivity. From simulation to spectrum analysis, from lab tests to field trials, this is hands-on, high-impact work at the intersection of research, engineering, and standards leadership.

What You ll Be Doing

  • Architect and develop end-to-end converged network solutions combining wireless (5G/6G/NTN) and wired (DOCSIS) technologies.

  • Build and optimize PHY/MAC layer features that push the limits of performance, reliability, and seamless mobility.

  • Design and implement simulation models in MATLAB/Python for RF propagation, link budgets, and real-world scenarios.

  • Dive into the lab with tools like spectrum analyzers and signal generators validating ideas through hands-on experimentation.

  • Lead performance integration of new products, from concept to deployment.

  • Contribute to and influence global standards 3GPP, IEEE, GSMA through technical papers, proposals, and collaboration.

  • Develop technology roadmaps, evaluate vendors, and drive architecture decisions that shape the industry.

Must-Haves

  • 5 10 years in 5G/mobile systems integration or deployment

  • Master s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent, with a telecom focus

  • Deep expertise in 5G NR PHY & MAC layers, RF propagation, interference modeling, and converged architectures

  • Fluent in MATLAB, Python, and C/C++

  • Hands-on lab skills with analyzers, vector signal generators, etc.

  • Passion for innovation, independence, and delivering results

Bonus Points For:

  • Experience with DOCSIS MAC/PHY protocols

  • Knowledge of 5G Core, 3GPP SA standards

  • Active participation in 3GPP/IEEE/GSMA standards groups

  • Strong grasp of antenna theory, DSP, and non-terrestrial networks

  • A hunger to question, challenge, and push boundaries

Why You ll Love This Role

  • Impact the future: Your work will shape how the world connects

  • Work with the best: Join a team of pioneers leading research in wireless innovation

  • Stay on the edge: Get exposure to bleeding-edge tech in a lab-meets-field hybrid environment

  • Lead with purpose: Influence standards, build roadmaps, and set the bar for the industry
