About this role
Summary: VIAVI Solutions is seeking 6G Engineer to join our global advanced innovation center in Singapore. You will play a key role in rapid prototyping next-generation (6G) wireless communication systems, bridging the gap between theoretical innovation and real-world implementation. 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.
Preferred Qualifications
• 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.
