About the Job
-We are seeking an individual to join our communication systems research group to develop and support the patenting of air interface/network technologies for future Sixth Generation (6G) wireless research and standards.

You will be a part of a fast-moving team of researchers dedicated to creating, simulating, verifying, and promoting novel technologies, and supporting the verification of patents reading on the standards. You will prepare, present, and defend formal contributions at meetings of international standards organizations, and help support Sharp’s positions in these meetings.

• You will possess expert knowledge of communication theory (protocols, network systems, probability, statistics, algorithms, etc.), deep knowledge of 3GPP 5G/NR and LTE and one or more of the following technologies: 3GPP NR PHY, MAC, RLC, PDCP, RRC, NAS, AI/ML, Security, Satellite Communications, Network Architecture, and other related technologies.
• You will have a track record of the creation of original ideas in academia or industry, and creation of patentable ideas as well as a successful track record of seeing these patentable ideas through patent prosecution.
• Attendance to relevant groups in 3GPP is an essential part of your role, where you are expected to develop technical contributions and provide presentations to obtain consensus. Consequently, you are expected to be available for frequent international/domestic travels.

Excellent teamwork and written and oral communication skills are essential. Creativity, responsibility, self-direction and self-motivation are hallmarks of our team, and we expect the same from all who join us.
