How You Will Contribute Lead the logical integration of multi-vendor network elements (RAN, Core, HSS) across on-premises and cloud-native infrastructures. Validate satellite-specific configurations (ephemeris data, beam planning, frequency mapping) with partners for reliable link performance. Collaborate with Network Design and Cloud Application teams to define architectural best practices for optimized cloud-native integration and scalability. Manage the DevOps team to architect automated CI/CD and "audit-as-code" integration frameworks. Oversee execution of high-precision Methods of Procedure for software and patch rollouts, leveraging automation to minimize errors and maintenance windows. Define, audit, and enforce network baseline configurations and "gold standards," managing large-scale parameter changes for stability.
