- Implement and maintain 5G protocols and procedures, such as NAS, NGAP, PFCP, and GTP-U.
- Design and develop high-performance software using C, Go, and Rust.
- Optimize software for Linux embedded systems on ARM-based platforms.
- Create high-performance packet-processing components with DPDK.
- Enhance system performance for latency, throughput, CPU usage, and memory efficiency.
- Debug complex protocol, system, and performance issues using advanced tools.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration.
- Stay updated with the latest 5G Core technologies and industry trends.
- Extensive experience in 5G Core architecture and call flows.
- In-depth knowledge of 3GPP procedures, including registration, mobility, and session management.
- Strong programming skills in C, with experience in Go or Rust.
- Proficiency in Linux system programming and embedded Linux development.
- Experience with ARM-based systems and multi-threaded programming.
- Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, UDP, SCTP, HTTP/2).
- Expertise in packet processing and performance tuning.
- Familiarity with DPDK and its applications.
- Preferred: Experience in implementing 5G Core network functions in production.
- Strong debugging skills using tools like Wireshark, GDB, and tcpdump.
