Job Description

Join Syntronic: Where Your Innovation Shapes the Future

At Syntronic, we don't just follow industry trends—we set them! Join us in partnering with visionary companies and the brightest minds to turn ground-breaking ideas into reality. Imagine working on cutting-edge telecom advancements, pioneering automotive tech, life-saving healthcare innovations, and next-gen industrial automation. Our projects are diverse, impactful, and at the forefront of technological innovation. Be a part of something extraordinary!

Who are we?:

Syntronic is a global leader in design and development, specializing in electronics, electro-mechanics, and software. We’re not just a company; we’re a community of innovators. Our teams work on projects that define the future—from creating state-of-the-art communication systems and autonomous vehicles to advancing IoT solutions that revolutionize everyday life. At Syntronic, your work will make a real difference.

What we're looking for:

We are seeking individuals who want to:

  • Collaborate with top-tier clients on transformative, cutting-edge projects
  • Engage with and learn from industry leaders
  • Innovate from concept to completion, ensuring high standards
  • Gain international experience on global projects
  • Thrive in an entrepreneurial environment that supports new ideas
  • Explore multiple sectors like telecommunications, automotive, healthcare, and industrial automation


This role combines in-depth study of 3GPP LTE specifications, communications signal processing, and simulation-based analysis. You will design reproducible experiments, security test cases, and technical reports that quantify performance impacts and compare findings to existing research in the field.

What You’ll Do

  • Conduct in-depth analysis of LTE specifications across RRC, RLC, MAC, and PHY layers to identify behaviors, timing relationships, and potential vulnerabilities
  • Review and evaluate prior studies on LTE resilience and reproduce test cases to establish baseline comparisons
  • Develop and propose new vulnerability assessment methods targeting control and data plane functions
  • Implement reproducible simulation environments modeling full protocol stacks, channel conditions, scheduling, and error handling mechanisms
  • Design and integrate signal-processing modules to evaluate synchronization robustness, channel estimation, and error-correction limits under controlled conditions
  • Create automated frameworks for analyzing and visualizing simulation data, supporting comparative performance evaluation
  • Prepare detailed technical reports documenting methodology, reproducibility, and experimental outcomes
  • Maintain simulation models and associated codebases with best practices in documentation and version control


What you'll need to get the job done

  • 5+ years relevant experience (academic or industry experience)
  • Strong fundamentals in cellular communications and understanding of LTE operation across physical, data link, and control layers
  • Strong experience working with C/C++ and Matlab
  • Experience developing/testing software in a Linux environment
  • Experience interpreting and applying telecommunications standards to research, testing, or development activities
  • Proficiency in developing and executing simulations of communications systems and analyzing results to derive performance insights
  • Solid background in signal processing, including synchronization, channel estimation, equalization, and coding methods
  • Ability to model diverse radio channel conditions and assess their influence on system performance
  • Familiarity with structured software engineering methods for research environments, including modular design, reproducibility, and collaborative workflows
  • Ability to review and synthesize technical literature and transform findings into actionable research directions
  • Strong quantitative and analytical skills, with the ability to design experiments, select performance metrics, and interpret statistical results


What Will Make Us REALLY Love You

  • Experience with SDR platforms (USRP, BladeRF, LimeSDR) and open-source toolchains (GNU Radio, srsLTE, OpenAirInterface)
  • Familiarity with LTE packet analysis tools (e.g., Wireshark LTE dissector) for extracting and interpreting protocol-level artifacts
  • Experience with security validation methods, such as anomaly detection or protocol hardening, and contributing to mitigation strategies
  • Background in automated experiment orchestration (containerized simulation environments, HPC batch scripting, CI pipelines for regression testing)
  • Understanding of cellular operator practices (eNB/eNodeB behavior, EPC interactions) and commercial test equipment, helpful for mapping simulation results to operational conditions
