WORK EXPERIENCE
09/2022 – Present CI/CD Team RF Serv ice Engineer IV @Ericsson, Reston VA
I have been working to perform tests LTE and 5G SA/NSA in T-Mobile lab for Ericsson CI/CD (Continuous Integration Contiguous Deliver) project to validate software quality with regression and new feature cases (voice and data traffic, handover, link budget). In addition, I work for 4G/5G KPI monitoring, optimization, and troubleshooting issues from the T-Mobile’s field sites with analysing logs.
12/2021 – 02/2023 5G RAN Engineer @Deepsig, Arlington VA
The company Deepsig has been developing a 5G software based upon A.I(Artificial Intelligence) and M.L (Machine Learning). As the company proceeds development with focusing on UL quality enhancement based upon O-RAN structure (Intel Layer 1 + Radisys Layer 2/3 + Foxconn RRU), my role was to design 5G O-RAN network for the lab, operate end to end the overall systems, and troubleshoot in order to find improvement 5G PHY layer software under end-to-end 5G core to Physical layer. I measured and reported DL/UL throughput performance with details of RF factors like BLER, number of layers, and so on.
In addition, I also have experienced VIAVI TM 500 simulators during IOT test, where Deepsig was considering how to increase multi-UE capabilities for downlink and uplink on physical layer. The subject was how to interoperate ORAN functionalities and TM500 functionalities including physical and logical connections
01/2019 – 11/2021 Principal Engineer @Accuver, Reston VA
Accuver is a company which has been providing LTE/5G testing tools like XCAL/XCAP in telecom area and I was to end-to-end support the customer T-Mobile so as to operate an automatic testing tool in the lab for regression test
My job was to design and operate the automation testing tool in T-Mobile’s lab, to verify eNB/gNB vendor’s software and troubleshoot issues. For example, T-Mobile engineers requested me to operate the automatic tool when new 4G/5G eNB/gNB software loaded, I built up test cases (voice/data traffic performance, handover, link budget), scripts in the automation system regarding the customer required as well as operated the tool, found test results with analysis report including major KPI’s. Also, I was communicating with HQ engineers in South Korea to come up with software bugs and requirements from customer.
