    Summary Of How You Will Impact Skylo
    Skylo is hiring a Staff RAN Operations Engineer to help fulfill Skylo's mission of making
    satellite connectivity available to all. This individual will be a production-focused RAN engineer responsible for supporting live network performance, executing RAN optimization activities, and acting as a Level-3 escalation point for RAN-related incidents. You will bridge the gap between traditional telecom and cloud-native architecture, ensuring the reliability of the world's first commercial, live direct-to-device satellite network.
    How You Will Contribute
    • RAN KPI Support & Analysis: Monitor and analyze KPI domains including attach/access success rates, RRC behavior, and RF performance (SINR, RSSI, noisefloor)
    • Production RAN Optimization: Execute parameter tuning and configuration adjustments to improve network stability and coverage consistency under established change-management processes.
    • Advanced Technical Support (Level 3): Act as the L3 escalation authority for RAN-related production incidents, performing deep root cause analysis using eNodeB/gNodeB logs and RF telemetry.
    • AI/ML for Network Ops: Develop and implement Anomaly Detection models for RAN KPIs to preemptively identify "silent failures" before they impact customer SLAs.
    • Incident Support & Prevention: Participate in a 24x7 on-call rotation to support RCA efforts and identify recurring failure patterns across RAN, Core, and cloud infrastructure.
    • Operational Governance: Author and enforce high-standard MOPs (Methods of Procedure) to ensure all RAN changes are auditable, safe, and backed by a clear rollback strategy.
    • NTN Physics Optimization: Manage unique satellite-specific challenges, including link budget sensitivity, Doppler compensation, and the impact of high latency on 3GPP protocol timers (T300/T310).
    • NetOps Enablement: Translate RAN behavior into detection logic and operational runbooks, while mentoring L2 NOC engineers on KPI interpretation and Linux-based troubleshooting.
    What We Look For
    • Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree (or equivalent professional experience) in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or Computer Science.
    • Experience: 6-10+ years of experience in RAN engineering and operations, specifically supporting live production LTE/5G networks.
    • Cloud-Native Expertise: Significant experience managing vRAN/ORAN architectures and containerized network functions using Kubernetes (GCP preferred).
    • Advanced Analytics: Proven experience applying Machine Learning to wireless network optimization, specifically for predictive trend analysis.
    • Technical Depth: Deep knowledge of NAS/AS layers, RRC state machines, and protocol analysis (Wireshark/PCAP) at the S1-U and Uu interfaces.
    • Systems & Tools: Proficiency in Linux, Cloud platforms (GCP), and automation tools like Python or Ansible for operational scaling.
    • Specialized Skills: Understanding of 3GPP Control Plane Cellular IoT, SCEF (Service Capability Exposure Function), and exposure to IoT testing)
