Your role as Architect Mobile Networks
You ensure that KPN’s mobile network remains scalable, innovative, and ready for future demands. Your work drives the evolution of our RAN and Core architectures toward cloud-native, automated, and energy-efficient solutions. Not only do you define architectural principles and reference designs, you also guide network engineering teams and lead technology validation and vendor assessment activities.
- Define and maintain the end-to-end mobile network architecture with focus on RAN and Core.
- Develop reference architectures, blueprints, and long-term transformation roadmaps.
- Lead technology evaluations, proofs of concept, and field trials (e.g., O-RAN, vRAN, AI/ML automation).
- Translate business and customer needs into scalable and efficient architectural principles.
- Contribute to vendor evaluations, strategic decision-making, and industry engagement (e.g., 3GPP, O-RAN Alliance).
You will join the Network & Cloud Architecture team: a group of strategic thinkers and domain specialists passionate about simplifying and modernizing the network. We work hybrid, collaborate closely, and continuously share expertise. We value open discussion, curiosity, and team connection — whether working in the lab, in the office, or during informal team meet-ups.
