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.
