What you will do

• Conduct research on AI-enabled mobile networks and emerging 6G systems across RAN, core and service architecture, transport, application, and edge/cloud layers.
• Architect, implement, integrate, and operate end-to-end research testbeds, demonstrations, and proof-of-concept systems.
• Develop and evaluate AI/ML techniques including agentic and multi-agent AI, generative AI, learning-based optimization, perception, sensor fusion, and context-aware decision-making.
• Validate research ideas through simulations and testbeds, designing experiments and metrics for realistic conditions such as congestion, mobility, imperfect sensing, and limited resources.
• Build research software, simulations, automation, visualization, and instrumentation using Python, C/C++, MATLAB, Linux, and AI frameworks.
• Translate results into technical reports, patents, publications, demonstrations, and future contributions to 3GPP and other standards bodies.

Requirements

• Master’s degree minimum, with a PhD preferred, in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Strong theoretical and hands-on experience in AI/ML, demonstrated through working software, simulations, prototypes, experiments, or testbeds.
• Knowledge of wireless, mobile, networked, or cyber-physical systems and the ability to reason across end-to-end architectures.
• Programming proficiency in Python, C, and C++, with practical experience in Linux-based development.
• Experience with a machine-learning framework such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
• Ability to debug and integrate complex multi-component systems and communicate technical research clearly.

Nice to have
