Nvidia is seeking a motivated and energetic senior technologist for the role of Distinguished Engineer in Wireless Infrastructure. The team is focused on developing accelerated platforms and technologies for next-generation Telecom Wireless infrastructure, particularly in AI-RAN and Agentic Core. The role involves leading technology strategy, driving innovations, and collaborating with industry partners to deliver cutting-edge solutions. Candidates will work on transforming wireless core architecture and developing applications in Integrated Sensing and Communications.

Requirements

  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field or equivalent experience.
  • 20+ years of proven industry experience.
  • Deep technical knowledge of communication systems, communication theory, linear algebra, detection and estimation theory, baseband signal processing algorithms, and channel coding.
  • Expertise in architecting and developing RAN applications and proven expertise in system level optimizations.
  • Proven experience in 5G NR PHY/L1 and L2 mac-scheduler algorithms design and development.
  • Expertise in architecting wireless core technologies including accelerated user plane function (UPF).
  • Deep expertise in AI and Machine Learning with proven experience in applying AI techniques into RAN pipelines.
  • Solid foundation in statistical analysis.
  • Strong understanding of mathematics behind RAN algorithms.
  • Strong hands-on experience with programming languages such as Python, C/C++, and Matlab.
  • Demonstrable experience working with Telecom Service Providers deploying commercial networks is a definite plus.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the technology strategy for next generation wireless infrastructure spanning systems, platforms, and software architecture.
  • Seek and apply AI/ML approaches for key functions and pipelines of 6G radio access network.
  • Transform the wireless core into an agentic AI based packet core architecture.
  • Drive rapid prototyping of new algorithms to establish value proposition and benefits of GPU accelerated platforms.
  • Work with industry ecosystem partners and customers to rapidly drive innovations into deployable products and solutions.
  • Collaborate with industry standards and consortiums for a transformational next-generation technology with AI Native approaches.
  • Drive development of new applications in Integrated Sensing and Communications, Semantic Communications, Physical AI at the Edge, and more.
  • Drive system architecture, requirements, design, development, performance optimizations, and benchmarks for AI-for-RAN software stack.
  • Identify, pathfind, and develop new acceleration technologies into next generation NVIDIA hardware.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
