Senior Design Specialist - Strategic Projects

 

 

OUR TEAM AND WHAT WE'LL ACCOMPLISH TOGETHER

 

The Strategic Projects team is at the forefront of TELUS's network evolution, delivering transformational initiatives that will reshape how we connect Canadians. As a Senior Design Specialist, you'll play a pivotal role in architecting, designing, and delivering solutions such as Satellite direct-to-cell, 5G Network slicing, connected cars, and other emerging technologies. You'll work autonomously across CTO, Business, CIO, Regulatory, and Legal stakeholders to translate competing priorities into cohesive technical solutions, making critical architectural decisions that will define our network's future.

 

WHAT YOU'LL DO

 

• Architect and design end-to-end solutions for emerging network technologies (Satellite direct-to-cell, 5G Network slicing, connected cars) that align with TELUS's strategic roadmap and technical standards
• Lead cross-functional design reviews and technical discussions with CTO, Business, CIO, Regulatory, and Legal stakeholders to translate LTE/5G technical aspects into business impact and gather requirements that inform architectural decisions
• Develop detailed technical specifications, design documents, and architectural diagrams that translate complex requirements into implementable solutions, including validation of vendor compliance to industry and TELUS standards
• Conduct lab proof-of-concept testing and interoperability testing to validate emerging technologies, evaluate vendor solutions, and identify optimization opportunities aligned with 3GPP specifications and RAN best practices
• Proactively communicate TELUS requirements to vendors, evaluate responses, and propose solutions and feature optimization engineering guidelines that support field teams and operational excellence
• Drive independent decision-making on architectural trade-offs, technical feasibility, and implementation approaches in a fast-paced environment, while providing technical guidance and support to engineering teams
• Stay informed of the latest wireless technology developments (5G evolution, O-RAN, Network slicing, SDN/virtualization, AI & Machine learning) and establish design best practices that elevate the organization's technical capabilities
