Senior/Principal Local LLM & Generative AI Platform Engineer

Parallel Wireless is a U.S.-based pioneer in Open RAN innovation, transforming how mobile networks are built, optimized, and powered. Through our GreenRAN™ portfolio, we help operators deliver secure, energy-efficient, automated, and flexible connectivity across 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, and the path toward 6G. Our software-centric, hardware-agnostic approach brings intelligence into the RAN while helping customers reduce complexity and total cost of ownership.

Parallel Wireless is looking for a hands-on technical leader to build and operate a secure local large-language-model platform for the company. The platform will allow engineering and business teams to use generative AI with proprietary source code, product documentation, technical standards, test artifacts, support knowledge, and other approved internal data while keeping sensitive information within company-controlled environments. This is a senior individual-contributor role spanning applied LLM engineering, platform architecture, search and data pipelines, security, and production operations. You will turn promising prototypes into a dependable internal capability: selecting and optimizing open-weight models, building permission-aware retrieval, creating reusable APIs and tools, integrating with existing engineering workflows, and establishing objective ways to measure quality, safety, latency, capacity, and business value. The successful candidate will understand that a useful enterprise LLM is more than a model and a chat interface. It requires trustworthy source grounding, strong access controls, repeatable evaluation, careful tool permissions, observable production services, and an operating model that keeps data, indexes, prompts, models, and dependencies current. You will make pragmatic build-versus-buy decisions and choose the simplest approach—search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), prompting, workflow automation, or model adaptation—that meets each use case. Initial use cases may include engineering knowledge discovery, source-code understanding, troubleshooting assistance, technical-document Q&A and summarization, test and log analysis, and drafting structured engineering artifacts. The platform should be extensible to additional approved use cases as needs and model capabilities evolve.
