_6G Prototyping & Testbed Implementation (Contractor)

Open-source implementation of 5G/NR or other physical layer on SDR platform, written in C and running on generic CPUs and GPU. Requires novel software computation algorithm, memory management, computing bus management for large data and real-time system task critical time and management. You will contribute to the improvement of the communication L1/PHY stack of OAI. Specifically, you will start working on the L1/PHY of the gNB:

• Support with the implementation of digital beamforming in the downlink
• Support with the integration of the OSC xran library in OAI, and test of the 7.2 interface
• Refactoring of the existing L1 code base towards a a more efficient implementation, writing of tests

Main Requirements and Qualifications

• Very strong C/C++ skills
• Very good knowledge of communication background
• Solid experience in RAN software development (L1 experience required, L2/L3 is a plus) and using SIMD intrinsics
• Very good understanding of Git SCM
• Experience with 5G/NR L1 implementations or cuda is a plus
• Strong analytical skills and problem-solving attitude
• Good interpersonal and teamwork skills to collaborate and work well with others
