Job Description

• Define and manage MNO acceptance strategies aligned with market launch, beta, and regional activation plans. • Develop standardized acceptance test plans using approved probe packs, test cases, and operator‑defined acceptance criteria. • Ensure acceptance scope aligns with CIQs, contractual obligations, and regional regulatory requirements. • Lead execution of operator acceptance testing across lab, controlled field, and live network environments. • Validate end‑to‑end service behavior including attach success, session persistence, mobility, throughput, latency, and service continuity. • Ensure acceptance execution is repeatable, traceable, and comparable across markets. • Track acceptance defects, deviations, and gaps against defined acceptance thresholds. • Coordinate with Service Acceptance engineering, RF teams, platform teams, and Service Assurance counterparts to drive resolution. • Clearly distinguish acceptance blocking issues from post‑acceptance optimization items. • Validate acceptance KPIs against operator‑defined SLOs and CIQ thresholds. • Ensure KPI definitions, measurement methods, and thresholds are consistent with OSS instrumentation. • Confirm that acceptance KPIs can be monitored post‑launch through NOC and Service Assurance tooling. • Produce acceptance artifacts including test plans, probe logs, KPI reports, defect summaries, and acceptance sign‑off packages. • Publish acceptance status and readiness reports for internal leadership and MNO stakeholders. • Ensure acceptance documentation supports governance, audits, and regulatory reviews. • Align acceptance results with OSS hooks, alarm definitions, and monitoring dashboards. • Ensure NOC playbooks and operational runbooks reflect validated acceptance scenarios. • Reduce post‑launch incidents and rework by ensuring acceptance outputs are operationally actionable. • Operator acceptance test strategies and execution plans. • Probe‑based acceptance results and KPI validation reports. • Defect logs, resolution tracking, and acceptance sign‑off artifacts. • OSS and NOC alignment inputs supporting operational readiness. • Acceptance documentation supporting pre‑launch, beta, and market activation milestones.

Job Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Advanced telecom, RF, or testing certifications are a plus.
  • 7–12 years of experience in telecom acceptance testing, network validation, service acceptance, or MNO integration roles.
  • Proven experience leading operator‑side acceptance for mobile, satellite, or hybrid telecom networks.
  • Experience supporting pre‑launch, beta, and commercial rollout phases across multiple markets.
  • Strong understanding of end‑to‑end telecom architecture, including RAN, core, transport, OSS, and satellite systems.
  • Hands‑on experience with probe‑based testing methodologies in lab and field environments.
  • Deep familiarity with CIQs, persistence testing, acceptance KPIs, and service SLO validation.
  • Ability to translate acceptance outcomes into operational readiness inputs.
  • Strong leadership and coordination skills across engineering, RF, lab, and operations teams.
  • Excellent communication skills for MNO‑facing discussions and internal alignment.
  • Highly structured, detail‑oriented approach to testing, documentation, and execution.
  • Ability to manage multiple acceptance cycles across regions and timelines.
