Job Description
We are looking for a hands-on CPE Device Management Subject Matter Expert / Solution Architect to support the design of a modern, cloud- CPE device management platform within the Telecom and Broadband Access Networks domain.
The role will focus on consolidating fragmented, vendor-specific device management approaches into a unified, standards-based control plane, with a clear migration path from legacy TR-069/CWMP to TR-369 (USP) and support for Prpl OS–based devices at scale.
TR-369 (USP) and Prpl OS experience are mandatory, with strong preference for candidates from telecom organizations such as Nokia, Incognito Software Systems, Axiros, AVSystem, Friendly Technologies, Calix, or CommScope.
Key Responsibilities
- Advise on target architecture for a unified, cloud- CPE control plane spanning multiple device vendors and SKUs.
- Guide migration from legacy TR-069/CWMP to TR-369 (USP) for large-scale device fleets.
- Provide deep technical expertise on Prpl OS integration for new and converted CPE devices.
- Support solution design for device provisioning, configuration, firmware/security updates, fault diagnosis, and fleet-wide telemetry.
- Review and validate technical architecture documents, HLD/LLD/SAD, design documents, and architecture diagrams.
- Partner with delivery, cloud engineering, software development, and AI/spec-driven development teams.
- Interpret application, feature, and component designs and guide implementation according to specifications.
- Code, debug, test, document, and communicate product/component development stages as required.
- Review unit test cases, test plans, execution results, and provide technical clarification to testing teams.
- Perform defect root-cause analysis and mitigation while identifying trends to improve product quality.
- Optimize application development, maintenance, performance, cost, and overall solution quality.
- Support release execution and monitoring, configuration management, and engineering standards compliance.
- Contribute to technical presentations, customer discussions, product demonstrations, and design reviews.
- Clarify requirements, present design options, and provide technical guidance to development teams.
- Estimate effort, timelines, dependencies, risks, and resources for development and debugging activities.
- Manage delivery of modules/user stories and support project execution.
- Mentor team members, provide technical feedback, and maintain strong team collaboration.
- Create and review design/process/development templates, checklists, standards, and deliverable documentation.
Required Qualifications
- 10+ years of experience in Telecom/Networking, including 5+ years of hands-on broadband CPE/ACS device management.
- Mandatory hands-on experience with TR-369 (USP) and Prpl OS.
- 5+ years of experience with Auto Configuration Server (ACS) architecture and operations.
- 5+ years of broadband CPE lifecycle management, including provisioning, configuration, firmware/security updates, monitoring, and fault diagnosis.
- 4+ years of experience with TR-069/CWMP, including RPC methods, TR-181 data model, session/connection handling, and vendor-specific extensions.
- 2+ years of TR-369/USP experience or strong TR-069 experience with demonstrated TR-369 project exposure.
- Strong understanding of MQTT, WebSocket, and CoAP transport bindings, USP Agent/Controller architecture, and publish/subscribe telemetry models.
- 2+ years of Prpl OS experience or direct project exposure, including device-side integration and interoperability across vendor implementations.
- 5+ years of experience managing large-scale telecom device fleets, including rollout staging, canary patching, rollback, and vendor/SKU heterogeneity.
- Strong understanding of software development lifecycle, Agile/Scrum or Kanban methodologies, coding standards, testing, debugging, and documentation.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, customer-facing, and technical leadership skills.
- Ability to work across development, testing, architecture, cloud engineering, and customer teams.
Qualifications
- Experience with Broadband Forum working groups or prpl Foundation initiatives.
- Experience migrating a live device fleet from TR-069 to TR-369 without field truck rolls.
- Background in standards-driven or specification-driven software development.
- Experience with cloud- telecom architectures such as AWS or equivalent platforms.
- Experience working with multi-vendor broadband CPE environments and large-scale ACS deployments.
- Relevant telecom, networking, cloud, or technology certifications.
- Experience creating and reviewing HLD, LLD, SAD, architecture, data models, requirements, and test documentation.
- Previous experience with organizations such as Nokia, Incognito Software Systems, Axiros, AVSystem, Friendly Technologies, Calix, or CommScope is highly relevant.
