• Strong customer-facing communication, presentation, solution-justification, collaboration, and technical leadership skills.
• Experience designing and assessing complex, resilient, end-to-end mission-critical network solutions.
• Experience with testing and validation tools such as VIAVI and MiW, including KPI validation, performance verification, troubleshooting, and service-assurance methodologies.
• Proven experience managing multi-vendor ecosystems involving application providers, device vendors, infrastructure suppliers, and testing-tool providers.
• Experience managing interdependencies between MCPTT, dispatching systems, MDM platforms, core and RAN domains, and testing and assurance tools.
