Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
The SIM Management 5G Core Engineer will analyze, design, implement, and verify the configuration and integration of subscriber data management nodes(UDR / UDM), networks, and systems across our 5G infrastructure. Your scope of work includes introduction, upgrade, expansion, functionality, and capacity scenarios on modern cloud-native UDM and UDR deployments. You will be a key contributor to the convergence of subscriber databases as platform evolves — and your work will directly shape the reliability and scalability of the networks our partners depend on.
Key Responsibilities
-
As part of the 5G Core team, you will own the subscriber data management platform across our network generations. Your responsibilities include:
-
Manage and operate UDR, and UDM nodes across 5G core domain, ensuring high availability and data integrity for subscriber profiles.
-
Design and maintain subscriber provisioning workflows, including IMSI/MSISDN management, service profiles, and roaming configurations.
-
Implement and verify HTTP/2-based (N8, Nudm) interfaces connecting subscriber data nodes to AMF and other core elements.
-
Use and build dashboards to monitor subscriber node KPIs, quickly surface abnormal conditions, and identify patterns before they become outages.
-
Own incident management for the subscriber data domain: follow communications procedures for internal escalation and external vendor coordination, ensuring SLAs are met.
-
Perform maintenance, security audits, patching, and emergency response for UDM/UDR platforms.
-
Undertake fault handling and corrective actions at node, service, and infrastructure level, including protocol trace analysis (Wireshark/tcpdump) on HTTP/2 signaling.
-
Lead and contribute to project activities: E2E introduction of new subscriber management nodes, capacity expansions, software upgrades, and feature activations.
