Summary:

Support Telecom team in all aspects of wireless signaling from product/systems development to management of provisioning, service and vendor billing.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Vendor Management: Works as liaison between business and vendors.
• Invoice Validation: Analyzes vendor invoicing and validates accuracy of billed services vs contracted rates.
• Financial & Data Analytics: Write SQL queries in Google BigQuery to aggregate usage data across disparate carriers; reconcile monthly billing details against active signaling records to identify ghost lines and rate discrepancies.
• API & Provisioning Troubleshooting: Investigate signaling failures, provisioning delays, and API sync errors between internal central-station software (MASterMind), billing engines, and carrier network endpoints.
• Fleet & Pool Monitoring: Monitor active cellular IoT fleets across carrier CMPs (e.g., Cisco Jasper, ThingSpace); identify rogue data spikes, runaway signaling, non-communicating devices, and execute mid-cycle tier adjustments to eliminate pooling overages.
• SIM Lifecycle Management: Oversee state transitions (Inventory, Test/Ready, Active, Suspended, Retired) across multi-carrier ecosystems to ensure devices are only billed when deployed in the field.
• Product & Hardware Collaboration: Partner with Product Management and Hardware Engineering to define data usage baselines, FOTA (firmware-over-the-air) data impacts, and SIM form-factor/profile selection (eSIM/eUICC, standard micro/nano SIMs).
• Other duties as assigned.
