Open Ran Software Developer

Description:

The successful candidate will focus on the development (an research) in the field of Open Radio Access Networks (Open RAN), with a specific emphasis on computational intensive functionalities for an advanced physical layer. The post holder will be expected to design, develop and validate efficient processing architectures, targeting x86 general-purpose processors. Displaying a high degree of autonomy, the successful candidate will find novel solutions to complex problems, as defined by standardisation committees and the Wireless Systems Lab group. The post holder will be expected to be able to set, define and work towards achieving targets, disseminate results and document work done.
 

About You

The post holder must have expertise in the following:
 

• Experience in developing high-performance software in C and C++ in real-time and low-latency environments on x86 architectures
• Experience in profiling and optimizing software performance
• Expertise in SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) programming
• Expertise in multi-core and multi-CPU programming
• Experience in development on Linux operating systems
   

It would be desirable but not essential for the post holder to also have:
 

• Recent experience in the development of physical layer processing algorithms (e.g., forward error correction).
• Good understanding of signal processing for wireless communication systems.
• An overall working knowledge of 3GPP cellular networks (e.g., 5GNR) and understanding of Open RAN related concepts .
• Prior experience with wireless research platforms (e.g., Open Air Interface, srsRAN).
• Recent experience in the development of RRM algorithms (e.g., MAC scheduler) or other computationally intensive Open RAN modules
• Prior experience in design and development of algorithms targeting high throughput and low-latency on nVIDIA GPUs using the CUDA API.
