About the Role

• We are looking for a hands-on Subject Matter Expert to support the design of a modern, cloud-native CPE device management platform. This role will help consolidate fragmented, vendor-specific device management approaches into a unified, standards-based control plane, with a clear migration path from TR-069 to TR-369 (USP) and support for Prpl OS based devices at scale.

Key Responsibilities:

• Advise on the target architecture for a unified, cloud-native CPE control plane spanning multiple device vendors and SKUs.
• Guide the migration strategy from legacy TR-069/CWMP to TR-369 (USP) streaming telemetry for an installed base of millions of devices.
• Provide deep technical input on Prpl OS integration for new and converted devices.
• Support solution design for device provisioning, firmware/configuration rollout, fault diagnosis, and fleet-wide telemetry at scale.
• Review and validate technical approach documents and architecture diagrams against real-world ACS/device-management operational constraints.
• Partner with delivery, cloud engineering, and AI/spec-driven development teams to ensure the technical design reflects field-proven device management practices.

Required Expertise:

• ACS Platforms: 5+ years of hands-on experience with Auto Configuration Server architecture and operations.
• Broadband CPE Lifecycle Management: 5+ years of experience in provisioning, configuration, firmware/security updates, monitoring, and fault diagnosis across multi-vendor device fleets.
• TR-069: 4+ years of experience with CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP), including RPC methods, TR-181 data model, session/connection handling, and vendor-proprietary extensions.
• TR-369 / USP: 2+ years of experience, or strong TR-069 background with demonstrated TR-369 project exposure, including MQTT/WebSocket/CoAP transport bindings, pub/sub telemetry model, and USP Agent/Controller architecture.
• Prpl OS: 2+ years of experience or direct project exposure with the cross-vendor Linux-based abstraction layer, including device-side integration and interoperability across vendor implementations.
• Large-Scale Telecom Device Management: 5+ years of proven experience operating device fleets in the multi-million range, including rollout staging, canary patching, rollback, and vendor/SKU heterogeneity.

Nice to Have:

• Prior involvement with Broadband Forum working groups or prpl Foundation initiatives.
• Experience migrating a live device fleet from TR-069 to TR-369 without field truck rolls.
• Background in spec-driven or standards-driven software development methodologies.
• Familiarity with cloud-native architectures, such as AWS or equivalent platforms, for telecom fleet management solutions.
