This role combines in-depth study of 3GPP LTE specifications, communications signal processing, and simulation-based analysis. You will design reproducible experiments, security test cases, and technical reports that quantify performance impacts and compare findings to existing research in the field.
What you’ll do
- Conduct in-depth analysis of LTE specifications across RRC, RLC, MAC, and PHY layers to identify behaviors, timing relationships, and potential vulnerabilities.
- Review and evaluate prior studies on LTE resilience and reproduce test cases to establish baseline comparisons.
- Develop and propose new vulnerability assessment methods targeting control and data plane functions.
- Implement reproducible simulation environments modeling full protocol stacks, channel conditions, scheduling, and error handling mechanisms.
- Design and integrate signal-processing modules to evaluate synchronization robustness, channel estimation, and error-correction limits under controlled conditions.
- Create automated frameworks for analyzing and visualizing simulation data, supporting comparative performance evaluation.
- Prepare detailed technical reports documenting methodology, reproducibility, and experimental outcomes.
- Maintain simulation models and associated codebases with best practices in documentation and version control.
What you'll need to get the job done
- 5+ years relevant experience (academic or industry experience)
- Strong fundamentals in cellular communications and understanding of LTE operation across physical, data link, and control layers.
- Strong experience working with C/C++ and Matlab
- Experience developing/testing software in a Linux environment
- Experience interpreting and applying telecommunications standards to research, testing, or development activities.
- Proficiency in developing and executing simulations of communications systems and analyzing results to derive performance insights.
- Solid background in signal processing, including synchronization, channel estimation, equalization, and coding methods.
- Ability to model diverse radio channel conditions and assess their influence on system performance.
- Familiarity with structured software engineering methods for research environments, including modular design, reproducibility, and collaborative workflows.
- Ability to review and synthesize technical literature and transform findings into actionable research directions.
- Strong quantitative and analytical skills, with the ability to design experiments, select performance metrics, and interpret statistical results.
What will make us REALLY love you
- Experience with SDR platforms (USRP, BladeRF, LimeSDR) and open-source toolchains (GNU Radio, srsLTE, OpenAirInterface).
- Familiarity with LTE packet analysis tools (e.g., Wireshark LTE dissector) for extracting and interpreting protocol-level artifacts.
- Experience with security validation methods, such as anomaly detection or protocol hardening, and contributing to mitigation strategies.
- Background in automated experiment orchestration (containerized simulation environments, HPC batch scripting, CI pipelines for regression testing).
- Understanding of cellular operator practices (eNB/eNodeB behavior, EPC interactions) and commercial test equipment, helpful for mapping simulation results to operational conditions.
