AI-Enabled Wireless Systems Research Engineer

InterDigital Communications, Inc.; Conshohocken (Montgomery County); Presencial; USD 120.000 - 180.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

InterDigital is seeking a research engineer to join its Wireless Research team to design, integrate, and evaluate end‑to‑end AI‑enabled wireless testbeds and demonstrations for 6G systems. The role targets recent PhD graduates or candidates near completion who combine strong AI/ML theory with hands‑on implementation to build prototypes and measurable experiments.

The ideal candidate will work across RAN and core/service architecture, develop software in Python/C++, and contribute to publications

Formación

• Masters is a minimum with a PhD preferred, in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field.
• Strong theoretical foundation and hands‑on experience in AI/ML, demonstrated through the development and evaluation of working software, simulations, prototypes, experiments, or testbeds.
• Strong foundation in wireless, mobile, networked, or cyber‑physical systems, with the ability and motivation to work across RAN, core network, service, transport, application, and edge/cloud layers.
• Demonstrated ability to translate research ideas into working software, simulations, prototypes, experiments, or testbeds, rather than limiting work to conceptual analysis alone.
• Programming proficiency in Python and experience with C, C++ together with practical experience in Linux‑based development environments.
• Experience with one or more machine‑learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
• Ability to debug and integrate complex multi‑component systems and to reason across interfaces and layers of an end‑to‑end architecture.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical concepts and document research results clearly.
• A collaborative, self‑directed working style and the ability to balance near‑term prototype delivery with longer‑term research objectives.

Responsabilidades

• Conduct advanced research on AI‑enabled mobile networks and emerging 6G systems, focusing on RAN, core, service layers and edge/cloud compute.
• Architect, implement, integrate and operate end‑to‑end research testbeds and proof‑of‑concepts using simulators, open‑source projects, SDRs and AI platforms.
• Develop and evaluate AI/ML techniques for communication and networked systems including multi‑agent and GenAI approaches.
• Create prototypes of AI‑enabled networking and distributed intelligence concepts.
• Design rigorous experiments and system metrics; evaluate performance under realistic conditions.
• Produce high‑quality research software, simulations, automation, visualization, and documentation.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams and contribute to publications and standards efforts.
