RAN Algorithm and Simulation Engineer
Come create the technology that helps the world act together
Nokia is committed to innovation and technology leadership across mobile, fixed and cloud networks. Your career here will have a positive impact on people’s lives and will help us build the capabilities needed for a more productive, sustainable, and inclusive world.
We challenge ourselves to create an inclusive way of working where we are open to new ideas, empowered to take risks and fearless to bring our authentic selves to work.
The team you'll be part of
Our Business Group is a leader in wireless mobility networks and associated services. With more than 3.500 patent families essential for 5G we have a strong 5G portfolio and are a front runner in open and virtualized radio access networks (O-RAN and vRAN).
The RAN Algorithm and Simulation Engineer job involves design, simulation and analysis of advanced RRM algorithms for 5G and 6G mobile wireless RAN products to help Nokia achieve competitive differentiation in the marketplace. It includes massive MIMO beamforming, receiver, scheduler and radio resource management algorithms, using mathematical models and/or large-scale link-level and system-level
simulations and/ or prototypes to validate the performance benefits of new design concepts and algorithms.
What you will learn and contribute to
The primary responsibility for this position is to design, simulate and analyze advanced RRM algorithms for current and next-generation mobile wireless networks, including radio access network algorithms, architecture, and emerging technologies and new vertical markets.
- It includes research, design and development of massive MIMO beamforming, receiver, scheduler and radio resource management algorithms, using mathematical models and/or large-scale link-level and system-level simulations and/ or prototypes to validate the performance benefits of new design concepts and algorithms.
- It requires the knowledge and familiarity of 5G systems and in particularly working experience in the Radio/PHY and/or MAC/RRM area. In particular, it requires knowledge of physical layer and signal processing technologies in the areas of massive MIMO, beamforming, channel estimation, receivers, link adaptation, single-user and multi-user MIMO, and cooperative multipoint operation. Knowledge of dual connectivity, carrier aggregation, DSS and associated load balancing and flow control performance optimization concepts.
- The responsibility also includes designing and implementing machine learning algorithms using state-of-the-art machine learning tools besides conventional ones.
- The candidate will work in hands-on development of simulations/analysis.
Your skills and experience
You have:
- Knowledge and working experience in 5G L1-L2 Algorithms such as massive MIMO, Beam Forming, Channel Estimation, Receiver, Scheduler, Link adaptation, Carrier Aggregation and cooperative multipoint operation. Knowledge of AI/ML such as the supervised learning, reinforcement learning, and associated training techniques and tools.
- Working experience of large scale system simulators, being able to make necessary modifications to conduct performance analysis for new concept algorithm design including performance evaluation, enhancements, and optimization. - Proficiency in C/C++ and Matlab is essential
- A MS or Ph.D (preferred) in Electrical Engineering and/or Computer Science with specialization in Communication Networks/ Digital Communications/ Digital Signal processing
It would be nice if you also had:
- Knowledge of performance optimization techniques and methods, and its applications to wireless networks
- Able to work with the team, positive attitude, and ready to take on challenges. Ability to drive the technical priorities for the group and mentor team members
- Good communication, presentation and writing skills
- 10 years of relevant experience
