About the Role
We are looking for a Network Engineer to join our team and work on end-to-end data communication across wireless networks. This role focuses on how data moves through cellular and wireless systems, and how network and transport-layer protocols behave in real-world wireless environments where packet loss,
latency, and variability are inherent. We are looking for someone with hands-on exposure to wireless or cellular systems who understands how protocols like TCP/IP behave over lossy wireless links and how different layers of the network stack interact.
What You'll Do

• Work on and/or analyze end-to-end wireless communication systems, from the wireless link through the transport layer
• Understand and troubleshoot data transfer behavior in cellular or other wireless environments
• Analyze the impact of packet loss, latency, and variability on transport protocols such as TCP
• Collaborate across systems, networking, and engineering teams to improve performance and reliability
• Apply a systems-level perspective when evaluating networking behavior in wireless environments
• Support development, testing, or optimization of wireless or cellular networked systems

What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications:

• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including:
• How data moves end-to-end across a network
• Basic routing concepts
• Core networking protocols
• Strong understanding of TCP/IP behavior, particularly in lossy or unreliable wireless systems
• Experience working with or analyzing packet loss and its effect on upper-layer protocols
• Background in production or real-world wireless systems, not just academic or lab settings

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working at or with telecom providers or cellular infrastructure companies
• Exposure to carrier-grade or large-scale wireless networks
• Experience with performance analysis, diagnostics, or optimization in wireless environments
• Systems, telecom, networking, or wireless engineering Background
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly across teams

Nice to Have Technical Areas:

• LTE / 5G architectures
• TCP congestion control and retransmission behavior
• Wireless performance and reliability analysis
• Transport-layer protocol behavior over wireless links
• End-to-end network stack understanding

Why This Role Matters
Wireless networks introduce unique challenges-packet loss, unpredictable latency, and variability-that fundamentally affect how data is transmitted. This role plays a key part in understanding and improving how systems behave under those real-world conditions.
