Keysight is looking for a Wireless Protocol Software Engineer with strong 3GPP protocol expertise to develop robust software capabilities and APIs for system configuration, working close to standards and real implementations.
In this role, you will translate evolving 3GPP specifications into system-level configurability, enabling reliable configuration and validation of protocol behavior across UE and base station emulation. You will contribute to early 6G pre-standard implementation activities, partnering across disciplines to deliver high-quality solutions.
