Wireless Network R&D / Software Engineer - PANASONIC R&D CENTER SINGAPORE

We are seeking a Wireless Network R&D / Software Engineer to design, develop, test, and improve mobile core network software for Private Mobile Networks.

The successful candidate will contribute to 3GPP-compliant mobile core functions, translating telecom specifications into maintainable, reliable, and production-ready software.

This role combines hands-on software engineering, network protocol research, cloud-based test environment development, interoperability testing, fault analysis, and technical documentation.

KEYRESPONSIBILITIES

You will support R&D and software development for mobile core network products, with responsibilities spanning software design, protocol implementation, cloud-based testing, quality improvement, and technical documentation.

Mobile Core Software Design & Development

· Design and implement mobile core network functions using Go, with opportunities to apply Rust where suitable.

· Research 3GPP specifications and translate relevant requirements into software design, implementation, and test requirements.

· Develop maintainable, reliable, and operable software components for Private Mobile Network products.

Protocol & Network Engineering

· Work with mobile core protocols and interfaces such as S1AP, PFCP, GTP, Diameter, RTP, and SIP.

· Apply Linux and IP networking knowledge to support network software development, integration, and troubleshooting.

· Analyze network behavior using logs, packet captures, and tools such as Wireshark.

Testing, Quality & Interoperability

· Perform unit testing, integration testing, interoperability testing, and load testing.

· Build cloud-based test environments on GCP and conduct validation under realistic operating conditions.

· Identify, analyze, and resolve defects through systematic fault investigation and quality improvement activities.

Cloud-Native & DevOps Engineering
