  • Along with mult-domain network architecture and design experience across RAN, Packet Core and IMS we would be particularly interested in experience with OSS Diagnostics.

Senior Solutions Architect

  • Reporting to the Network Services Diagnostics Design Manager, you will work cross-functionally with Business owners, non-technical stakeholders as well as IT, Operations and Customer support channels to validate the basic network service design and then own the end to end design for support covering Engineering, Operational and Customer facing support teams.
  • You will be expected to show architectural and design leadership and have the relevant experience and knowledge to ensure the end to end technical support capability of complex services across multiple domains.
