Duration: 12 month contract
Compensation: $50 - 62.00/hr. W2
Work Requirements: US Citizen, GC Holders or Authorized to Work in the U.S.
ABOUT THIS FEATURED OPPORTUNITY
You'll play a critical role in testing and debugging base station components (CU/DU/RU), working with wireless technologies, and leveraging UE and RU emulation to replicate real-world scenarios. This is a highly hands-on role requiring comfort with lab hardware, RF systems, and rapid iteration.
THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU
In this role, you will design, build, and operate lab environments that support integration-phase testing of wireless systems, with a focus on base station functionality and RF validation.
- Perform testing and validation of base station components, including:
- Centralized Unit (CU)
- Distributed Unit (DU)
- Radio Unit (RU)
- Execute integration-phase testing, focusing on system bring-up, interoperability, and pre-production validation (not just end-product testing)
- Work with wireless technologies, including troubleshooting and performance validation
- Utilize UE (User Equipment) and RU emulation tools to simulate real-world network conditions
- Set up, configure, and maintain lab equipment, including RF systems, cabling, and test infrastructure
- Troubleshoot and debug issues across hardware, RF, networking, and software layers
- Support rapid test iteration by adapting lab setups and configurations for evolving integration needs
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including RF engineers, software engineers, and systems teams
- Act as hands-on lab support ( "eyes and hands”) for remote engineering teams
- Build and maintain test documentation, including test cases, integration scenarios, and results tracking
KEY SUCCESS FACTORS
- Strong hands-on experience in wireless system integration and testing, particularly in pre-production or integration phases
- Experience with base station architectures, including CU/DU/RU components
- Experience with wireless communication systems and RF validation
- Experience with UE emulation and/or RU emulation tools
- Proven ability to set up and operate RF lab environments, including hardware configuration and cabling
- Strong troubleshooting skills across RF, hardware, networking, and software systems
- Comfortable working in a hands-on lab environment, including physical setup and reconfiguration of equipment
- Working knowledge of Linux systems and basic scripting (Bash or Python) for test execution and debugging
NICE TO HAVES
- Experience with soldering, PCB work, or basic hardware modification
- Experience building or assembling PC systems or lab hardware
- Familiarity with 3GPP test cases, especially as applied to RAN (Radio Access Network) rather than core-only focus
- Experience with RF lab equipment (spectrum analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes)
- Background in networking (VLANs, routing, or lab network setup)
- Experience supporting test automation frameworks or integration test pipelines
