Research Engineer - 3GPP 5G/6G

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior / Principal Wireless Standardization Research Engineer to join our advanced R&D team. In this role, you will drive next-generation wireless innovation by contributing directly to 3GPP 5G-Advanced and 6G standardization, with a strong focus on Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) and connected mobility.

You will bridge the gap between cutting-edge academic-style research and industrial commercialization. This includes leading collaborative research projects, generating high-impact intellectual property (IP), and representing the company at global standards bodies and industry consortia.

Actively contribute to 3GPP 5G/6G standards evolution. Formulate technical concepts, author high-quality 3GPP RAN1, RAN2, and/or RAN working group contributions, and attend global standardization meetings as a delegate.

Propose, lead, and execute advanced R&D projects focusing on communication technologies for connected vehicles and smart mobility ecosystems.

Identify novel mechanisms, draft high-value invention disclosures to build a robust patent portfolio, and author peer-reviewed academic publications based on research phases and outcomes.

Represent the organization and contribute to other relevant standardization bodies (e.g., SAE, ETSI, IEEE 802) and industry consortia (e.g., 5GAA, AECC) as required.

Partner effectively with internal R&D teams and external ecosystem collaborators. Regularly report technical progress, simulation results, and strategic recommendations to research teams and executive management.

Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related technical field.

Direct experience contributing to 3GPP standardization as a delegate or back-office support, specifically within the RAN1 Working Group.

Deep understanding of wireless communication systems at Layer 1 (Physical) and Layer 2 (MAC/RLC/PDCP), along with a solid grasp of 4G LTE / 5G NR standards and 3GPP operational procedures.

Proven track record in wireless communication R&D, with specific expertise in Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) and vehicular communications (V2X).

A strong, demonstrable patent record in 5G NR or related wireless technologies.

Exceptional written and oral communication skills, with the capability to deliver clear, concise technical presentations to diverse, international audiences.

Strong time-management, prioritization, and analytical skills. Proven ability to work autonomously as an individual contributor while thriving in a fast-paced, collaborative team environment.
