6G Engineer

Summary:

Duties & Responsibilities:

Key Responsibilities

• Work with VIAVI’s product teams to develop 6G  technologies, including massive MIMO, integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), and AI-native radio systems using AI tools for software development.
• Rapid prototyping of new concepts on CPU and/or GPUs for collaboration and evaluation with customers.
• Develop simulation and emulation models (MATLAB, Python, C/C++) to assess physical layer and system-level performance.

Pre-Requisites / Skills / Experience Requirements:

Education:

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or related field.

Technical Expertise:

• Strong foundation in wireless communication theory (OFDM, MIMO, beamforming, channel modeling, coding, and PHY/MAC design).
• Good knowledge of channel modeling, particularly with a focus on ray-tracing techniques and AI/ML technologies.
• Experience with MATLAB, Python, or CUDA C++, and containers (Docker, Podman).
• Hands-on skills in prototyping on wireless communication systems.
• Familiarity with 5G NR architecture and emerging 6G concepts such as AI-native RAN, ISAC, or non-terrestrial networks (NTN).

Soft Skills:

• Strong analytical thinking and creative problem-solving ability.
• Eager to take on new challenges with support from others.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills in a global, cross-functional environment.
• Self-driven and curious about emerging technologies in wireless systems.

• Familiarity with AI/ML-assisted communication systems or sensing-integrated radio.
• Understanding of test & measurement principles or wireless performance evaluation is advantageous.
• Prior collaboration with standards bodies (3GPP RAN, ITU-R) or participation in 6G research consortia is a plus.
