• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Telecommunications, or a related field.

• Demonstrated ability in telecom platform solution architecture and design, spanning business, operational, and network support domains.

• Experience with integration to 4G and 5G mobile network cores enabling provisioning, service assurance and usage record collection.
