Job Description:
- A Network Integration Engineer is responsible for analyzing, preparing, implementing, and executing integration and verification activities for network nodes, functions, and end-to-end solutions.
- They secure high-quality integration, upgrades, migrations, and expansions of complex networks, using strong data analytical skills to ensure accurate configuration, testing, and acceptance in line with standards and customer requirements.
Key Responsibilities
- 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 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.
- Contribute to Methods of Procedure (MoPs), low-level design inputs, and implementation guidelines; provide feedback to improve templates, tools, and ways of working.
- Use automation, scripting, and available tools to industrialize repetitive integration and verification tasks where feasible.
- Document integration configurations, test evidence, and deviations; support customer and internal acceptance processes.
- Provide technical support during early life, warranty, and stabilization phases related to integration scope.
Key Attributes Needed
- Technical Domain Knowledge
- Solid 4G/5G fundamentals – RAN, core, radio concepts, latency/throughput trade-offs, and how private networks differ from public and Wi-Fi, especially in industrial environments.
- Private 5G/EP5G architecture understanding – cloud-based management portal, troubleshooting app, segments/APN/DNN, and integration into enterprise IT/OT environments.
- Industrial/IoT focus – familiarity with use cases like logistics, mining, factories, airports (AGVs/AMRs, scanners, tablets, autonomous vehicles, etc.) and their network performance requirements.
Test & Automation Skills
- Strong test automation and scripting – ability to design automated test suites, write scripts (e.g., Python, shell, test frameworks), and integrate with CI pipelines; scripting seen as a core TE skill between pure SW dev and manual test execution
- End-to-end system test competence – building scenarios that span RAN, core, management portal, devices and applications (e.g., device onboarding, mobility, QoS/segments, firmware updates).
- Performance and scalability testing – validating predictable latency, throughput, reliability and coverage (incl. large sites and multi-location deployments) for business-critical applications.
- System Thinking & Integration
- System-level understanding – capacity to reason across EFN, EP5G, enterprise LAN/DC, security zones, and IT/OT integrations rather than focusing on a single node.
- Device & ecosystem awareness – understanding how devices (routers, scanners, industrial sensors) are validated against EP5G test networks
- Quality, Security & Reliability Mindset
- Security-by-design mindset – attention to authentication, encryption, segmentation and zero-trust principles in test scenarios, aligned with EP5G’s secure-by-design approach.
- High-availability & robustness focus – designing tests for redundancy, failover, recovery, and operations in mission-critical environments (24/7, large factories, ports, utilities, airports).
Customer & Field Orientation
- Use-case centric thinking – translating customer requirements (e.g., productivity, safety, cost savings) into test cases that validate real business outcomes, not just technical KPIs.
- Troubleshooting & support mindset – comfort using the EP5G management portal and troubleshooting tooling as a customer would, including logs, alarms, and remote diagnostics.
- Ways of Working & Behaviors
- Continuous learning orientation – willingness to grow in areas like automation, scripting, analysis and system understanding;
- Collaboration across disciplines – working closely with development, system architects, security, and solution/field teams; comfortable in cross-functional Industry 4.0 ecosystems.
- Clear, data-driven communication – ability to summarize test results, risks and recommendations clearly for both engineering and customer-facing stakeholders.
