Position Summary

The Wireless Standards team is looking for an experienced standardization delegate to contribute to research and standardization of advanced radio interfaces and protocols for future 3GPP wireless technologies, including evolution of 5G-Advanced New Radio (NR) and 6G.

The ideal candidate will have proven experience with 3GPP Radio Access Network (RAN) standardization and/or demonstrated skills for research in wireless communications.

Job Description

The candidate will join the Wireless Standards team and our 3GPP RAN project to actively contribute and participate to our standards-related activities. The candidate will also contribute to the development of innovative solutions addressing the challenges of future wireless systems focusing on the design of physical radio layer techniques (RAN1) and/or medium access and resource control functions (RAN2), targeting for example technologies related to applications of Machine Learning (ML) in the physical layer, joint communication and sensing, RAN-awareness for eXtended Reality (XR) applications, low-power devices and applications, and others.

The candidate will contribute to the 3GPP RAN team:

• By carrying out physical layer and/or system-level design for evolution of 5G-Advanced radio technologies, 6G features and beyond ;

• By conducting evaluation, analysis, and development of innovative solutions for control and transfer of user data at L1/PHY, L2/MAC, L3/RRC protocol layers and/or using AI/ML-based techniques ;

• By actively participating in the 3GPP standardization process through the preparation of contributions and through representing InterDigital in 3GPP RAN Working Group (WG) meetings.

Qualifications/Requirements

• B.Eng., M.S., or Ph.D. (preferred) in Electrical Engineering (or similar / equivalent)

• At least 4+ years of relevant experience in the field of standardization, wireless communications, machine learning, signal processing and/or protocol design
