Responsibilities

• Analyze and fix the 3GPP Layer 2/Layer 3 Modem protocol issues from the testing team, certification lab, and customers.
• Work closely with global carriers to meet customer’s performance requirements.
• Act as point of contact or lead cross-layer teams (e.g., PHY, AS, and NAS layer) to collaborate with cross-organization teams (e.g., Android Software (SW), Technical Program Manage/Technical Account Manager and Hardware) to deliver high quality Pixel modem SW from certification efforts.
