Senior Data Scientist — Network Intelligence

Parallel Wireless is reimagining mobile networks with innovative, energy-efficient Open RAN solutions. Join us as we lead the future of telecommunications, driving innovation through green and sustainable networks. Learn more about our mission, vision and values.  

We're hiring a Senior Data Scientist to own the non-real-time, ML-driven side of that system: turning large-scale network telemetry into models and analysis that make the entire platform smarter over time. You'll work directly on the algorithms that cluster cells, detect conflicts, and forecast load — and you'll partner closely with the real-time engineering team to push more of that intelligence into automated decision-making.
