Summary

The Ash Group is hiring an Integration Engineer (24643) for our client, a world-renowned telecommunications company providing the technology and equipment that enables global mobile connectivity and 4G/5G networks. This is a 12-month contract position working in Plano, TX (Hybrid). We are offering a pay rate up to $65/hr W2 based on skill set.

• Compensation: Up to $65/hr W2
• Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, and direct primary care benefits. After six months of employment, enjoy a 4% matched 401(k) plan with immediate 100% vesting.
• Duration: 12-month contract

What You’ll Be Doing

• Analyze solution design, network topology, and integration requirements to define integration strategy, test scope, and acceptance criteria for nodes and end-to-end network functions (RAN, Transport, Core, Cloud where applicable).
• Prepare and execute configuration, integration, and verification activities for new deployments, upgrades, migrations, and expansions of network nodes/systems (including software installation, parameter configuration, feature activation, and basic optimization related to integration).
• Design, implement, and execute test cases (including integration, regression, and basic performance tests) and analyze test results to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve integration issues using data analytical skills.
• Support System Integration Test and Integration Test phases in projects (e.g., implementation-test, system integration test, integration test execution and reporting).
• Apply relevant Ericsson portfolio knowledge (products, features, and solutions) and network security requirements when integrating and validating customer solutions.
• Collaborate closely with Solution Architects, Network Engineers, Customer Project Managers, and Operations/Managed Services teams to plan and execute integration activities and secure smooth handover to operations.

What We’re Looking For

• Must have experience with RAN, core, radio concepts, latency/throughput trade-offs, and how private networks differ from public and Wi‑Fi, especially in industrial environments.
• Cloud-based management portal, troubleshooting app, segments/APN/DNN, and integration into enterprise IT/OT environments experience is a must.
• Familiarity with use cases like logistics, mining, factories, airports (AGVs/AMRs, scanners, tablets, autonomous vehicles, etc.) and their network performance requirements.
• Attention to authentication, encryption, segmentation and zero‑trust principles in test scenarios, aligned with EP5G’s secure‑by‑design approach is required.
• Experience designing tests for redundancy, failover, recovery, and operations in mission‑critical environments (24/7, large factories, ports, utilities, airports) is a must.
• Capacity to reason across EFN, EP5G, enterprise LAN/DC, security zones, and IT/OT integrations rather than focusing on a single node.
