Job Description
Senior Network Automation Engineer for transitioning 5G SA Core IoT projects. Collaborating hands-on with automation, testing, and integration in a remote environment.
Responsibilities:
- Contribute to design reviews for the 5G SA Core lab-to-production transition
- Build and execute integration test plans against core network functions
- Validate IoT and consumer provisioning flows end-to-end
- Build automation — primarily in Python — for repeatable testing, configuration, and post-deployment validation
- Reduce manual toil in the lab→prod handoff
- Partner with vendor engineers, internal NetOps, security, and product teams to triage and resolve integration defects
- Troubleshoot from the device through the RAN to the core
- Document runbooks, test artifacts, and automation so the work is auditable
Requirements:
- 7+ years of network engineering experience, with at least 2 years in 4G/5G mobile core (EPC and/or 5GC)
- Working knowledge of 5G SA architecture and the major control- and user-plane NFs
- Hands-on experience integrating or testing mobile core deployments
- Production-grade Python: you write code others maintain, not just scripts
- Familiarity with REST/gRPC, async I/O, and at least one test framework (pytest or equivalent)
- Experience with IoT cellular networks (NB-IoT, LTE-M, or 5G IoT slices)
- Solid troubleshooting fundamentals: packet captures, signaling analysis, log correlation across NFs
Benefits:
- Remote opportunity for applicants based in the US
