Job Details
This is a 6-month onsite contract opportunity for a RAN Engineer working directly in a customer lab environment within the United States. The role supports advanced telecommunications testing and automation, focusing on 4G/5G network technologies and automated validation frameworks. Candidates will work hands-on with cutting-edge wireless systems while contributing to the quality and reliability of large-scale telecom products and services.
The standout feature of this role is the deep technical, hands-on exposure to real-world telecom lab environments. This opportunity is ideal for engineers who enjoy building automation from the ground up and working close to the network. You'll collaborate with cross-functional engineering and QA teams, strengthen your automation expertise using modern frameworks, and gain valuable experience in carrier-grade wireless testing. There is also strong potential for extension beyond the initial 6 months, making this an excellent role for long-term growth.
Contract Duration: 6 Months (Possibility of Extension)
Required Skills & Experience
Experience working onsite in a customer lab environment
Prior AT&T experience preferred
Strong experience with Robot Framework for test automation
Strong Python programming skills
Experience with Perl scripting
Solid understanding of telecom technologies (5G, LTE, IP networking)
Experience working in Linux/Unix environments
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills
Ability to document test cases, frameworks, and processes clearly
Desired Skills & Experience
Experience with additional scripting or programming languages (Bash, Java, Go)
Experience with performance, security, or reliability test automation
Experience with 4G/5G UE log analysis
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and agile development environments
What You Will Be Doing
You will design, develop, and execute automated test cases to validate telecom products and network functionality. This role involves enhancing automation frameworks, integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines, troubleshooting test failures, and collaborating closely with development and QA teams to ensure high-quality releases.
Tech Breakdown

25% Telecom Network Testing (5G/LTE/IP)
20% Framework Enhancement & CI/CD Integration
15% Debugging, Reporting & Documentation
Daily Responsibilities
75% Hands-On Automation & Test Execution
15% Collaboration with Engineering & QA Teams
10% Documentation & Reporting
Additional Notes:
Candidate is required to work onsite in a customer lab
Supplier is responsible for the cost to return company-issued laptop and materials at the end of the assignment
