Data Engineer, India

Celona is seeking a talented Data Engineer to join our team with a focus on 5G Cellular KPI Analytics and Predictive Analysis.

In this role, you will design and develop robust data pipelines, collaborate with data scientists, and evaluate cutting-edge technologies to enhance cellular network performance analytics.

Your work will ensure seamless data flow and empower predictive models that optimize network KPIs such as latency, throughput, and reliability.

Why Join Us?

• Be at the forefront of innovation in 5G network analytics and predictive analysis.
• Collaborate with a dynamic team of data engineers, scientists, and network experts.
• Enjoy access to state-of-the-art tools, training, and career growth opportunities.

Key Responsibilities:

Data Pipeline Development

• Build, optimize, and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines to process large volumes of network KPI data in real-time and batch modes.
• Integrate data from multiple sources, including OSS (Operational Support Systems), RAN (Radio Access Networks), and telemetry logs, into centralized data platforms.
• Automate data validation and transformation processes to ensure high data quality and integrity.

Collaboration with Data Scientists

• Work closely with data scientists to prepare datasets, define data models, and deploy machine learning models for predictive analytics.
• Enable efficient access to clean, enriched datasets for model training and evaluation.
• Partner with analytics teams to implement model outputs into operational workflows, ensuring actionable insights for network management.

Technology Evaluation and Implementation

• Stay updated on the latest big data, AI/ML, and data engineering technologies to assess their applicability to 5G cellular data challenges.
• Prototype and implement tools and frameworks that enhance data pipeline performance and scalability (e.g., Apache Spark, Kafka, or Flink).
• Drive adoption of cloud-native services (AWS, Azure, GCP) for data processing, storage, and analytics.

Data Governance and Security

• Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations such as GDPR, CPNI, and local telecom policies.
• Implement robust security and access control measures to protect sensitive network data.

Performance and Cost Optimization

• Optimize database queries, storage systems, and processing workflows to handle petabyte-scale data efficiently.
• Monitor and reduce infrastructure costs by leveraging serverless and cost-effective solutions.

Qualifications and Skills Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Telecommunications, Data Engineering, or a related field. (A Master's degree in a related field, is an added bonus)
• Proficiency in Python (preferred), or Java for data processing and automation.
• Strong SQL skills for querying and managing relational databases and time-series databases.
• Hands-on experience with big data technologies like Apache Spark, Kafka, Hadoop, or Flink.
• Expertise in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including services like S3, Redshift, BigQuery, or Databricks.
• Solid understanding of 5G cellular KPIs and telecom concepts such as RSRP, SINR, QoS, and handover success rates.
• Experience building and maintaining data pipelines using tools like Apache Airflow or Prefect.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills with attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams effectively.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver results in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Skills:

• Familiarity with time-series databases (e.g., Druid, Prometheus, InfluxDB) and network telemetry data formats.
• Experience with NoSQL databases such as Cassandra or MongoDB.
• Knowledge of AI/ML model deployment workflows and MLOps tools (e.g., MLflow, TensorFlow Serving).
• Certifications in cloud services, big data, or telecom analytics.

About Celona:

Founded in 2019, privately held Celona is a pioneer and leader in the emerging market of enterprise private 5G networks. 5G is positioned to be a transformative technology in many areas and private 5G is opening up previously impossible use cases for the enterprise. For the first time enterprises are able to deploy mission-critical applications across reliable and interference free wireless infrastructure facilitating a step-change productivity capability. In a recent survey by NTT, 51% of CIOs said they planned to deploy a Private 5G Network within a 2year timeframe.

Celona is based in Campbell, California and has developed the first and still the only dedicated end-to-end private 5G solution for the enterprise. Celona private 5G LAN is designed to deploy as easily as Wi-Fi whilst integrating with the existing IP infrastructure with customer data always secured within the enterprise’s existing security boundaries.

Celona has raised more than $100M to date and is backed by tier-1 VCs including Lightspeed, Norwest, NTT, Cervin and Qualcomm.
