Confidential, Texas, US
Solutions Engineer
Responsibilities:- Position includes LTE/WCDMA/GSM Inter-Operability Testing, Multi-vendor Verification, Solution Architecture, Test and Engineering
- Successfully accomplished more than 85 IOT (Inter-Operability Testing) projects between Confidential.
- Through deep dives into 3GPP/3GPP2 specs, I have found issues on vendors’ software both within, and also outside the scope of test cases, resulting in measurable improvements in quality for Confidential, Confidential and Confidential networks.
- Nearly 100% of issues that I’ve identified, have later been re-confirmed by design specialists. My extensive experience in 3GPP and ability navigate the specs allows me to quickly identify behavior that violates 3GPP.
- Contributed to the 3GPP-based NVIOT (Network Vendors IOT) MTC (Master Test Catalogue) process by creating test cases from scratch, as well as corrections to 55 of test cases.
- Annually analyzed new 3GPP Specs release for new Telecom Network Nodes features to be implemented on the networks, well informed about IoT (Internet Of Things) devices’ support by network and upcoming 5G network features (including slices for different type of services - IoT, Mission Critical, Video, MVNO etc.; and 5G network virtualization implementation nature - NFV) to be supported by Telco networks as per latest 3GPP Spec releases; can easily see network from the very high altitude and End-To-End behavior before digging into details.
- Performed integration, testing and troubleshooting ( Confidential 2G/3G/4G GPRS/LTE Core network and RANAP); and collect all test evidence (WireShark, QXDM, NetHawk logs); my hands-on experience includes: HLR/MSC/MGw/BSC/RNC/eNodeB/SGSN/MME/HSS/S-GW/P-GW and others.
- Designed and participated in Multi-Vendor Testing Network Architecture design.
- Subject Matter Expertise in various 3GPP LTE/EPC interfaces (S1-MME, S1U, X2, S6a/S6d, S4, S11, S10, S3, S16, S102) as well as GPRS interfaces (Gb, Iu-PS, Gn/Gp, Gr, and some others) to the detail (protocols, IEs, functions and procedures).
