Job Description:
We are seeking an OSS/SMO Engineer to work on automation and integration of SMO
modules, RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), and OSS platforms with a focus on 4G/5G
RAN auto-commissioning. This role involves contributing to the next generation of RAN
management using AI/ML-driven orchestration, O-RAN standards, and open interfaces.

Key Responsibilities:
• Support OSS and SMO modules for provisioning, configuration, and
lifecycle management of RAN nodes.
• Develop and execute RAN auto-commissioning workflows using Zero-
Touch Provisioning (ZTP).
• Integrate RAN nodes (eNodeB/gNodeB) into OSS using Netconf/YANG,
REST APIs, or vendor-specific protocols.
• Onboard and support RIC (Near-RT and Non-RT) for intelligent RAN
optimization and control.
• Deploy and manage xApps/rApps on RIC for use cases such as traYic
steering and anomaly detection.
• Automate routine network operations via scripting (Python, Shell) and
orchestration tools (Ansible, others).




• Work closely with vendors and internal teams to support OSS/RIC
integration and performance optimization.

Key Skills:
• Knowledge of OSS/BSS systems and 4G/5G RAN architecture
• Familiarity with SMO and O-RAN components including RIC architecture
(Near-RT and Non-RT)
• Interfaces & protocols: Netconf, YANG, REST APIs, A1, E2, O1
• Tools: OSS-RC, NetAct, ENM, or equivalent SMO solutions
• Scripting: Python, Shell, and working with XML/JSON data structures
• Understanding of containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes) is a
plus

Educational Qualification:
• B.E./B.Tech in Electronics & Communication, Computer Science, or a
relevant technical discipline.

Experience : 5-8 Years in RAN QA

Nice to Have:
• Exposure to open-source RIC platforms (e.g., O-RAN SC, Open RIC,
ONAP)
• Hands-on experience with xApp/rApp development or deployment
• Certifications in Telecom Networks, OSS, RAN, or Network Automation
