.The Mobile and Wireless Internet (MWI) group at i2CAT is looking for an Engineer / Researcher to work on different projects in collaboration with the public sector's innovation area of the organization. This collaboration involves the design, integration, and technical execution of innovative use cases.One remarkable project where we execute use cases is the project "TDA 5G Rural", where we are currently implementing a series of 5G technology-related use cases in rural environments. Some of the tests are conducted in the 5G laboratory in Mora la Nova (Catalonia), where the 5G drone pilot of the European XGain project will also be executed.Among some of our recent works we could highlight the integration of cellular communication (4G/5G) and satellite (Starlink) aggregation equipment used for applications such as a mobile citizen service office or a mobile Primary Care Center (CAP). We have also evaluated public 5G connectivity in the Ebre territory and explored the use of millimeter-wave technologies for point-to-point connections in rural environments.To strengthen our capacity in these projects and use cases, we are looking to incorporate a new member with experience in the integration, configuration, and management of wireless technologies. Key responsibilities of this position will include:Integration and configuration of Radio Components: Working with cellular modems/CPEs (4G, 5G), Wi-Fi modems/NICs, IoT devices (LoRA, NB-IoT, etc.), and other emerging technologies.Practical Test Execution: Deploying, measuring, validating, and demonstrating use cases, ensuring their effectiveness and efficiency.Evaluation and Results Analysis: Analyzing and interpreting results for informed decision-making and continuous improvement of use cases and projects.As a member of the MWI team, you will join a dynamic and innovative group, working on projects that have a real and positive impact on society.Who we are:The i2CAT Foundation is a non-profit research and innovation center that promotes mission-driven R&D activities on advanced Internet architectures, applications, and services.
