Role Purpose
Integrate Voice Core technologies and functions into Vodafone-managed networks, aligning with the domain’s strategy and goals. This role covers the full engineering lifecycle—requirements, design, testing, acceptance, integration, and deployment—ensuring in-service performance matches design intent. Focus areas include 2G/3G/4G and 5G core network functions linked to customer data repositories (HLR, HSS, CSDB, UDM), signalling network functions (STP, DRA, SCP), IP multimedia systems (TAS, CSCF, SBC, ENUM/DNS), and mobile switching centres (TSC, MSS, MGW). The role will define low-level designs, support engineering and development of the Voice Core Network, ensure quality, availability, and robustness, perform acceptance tests for new software and network elements, guarantee end-to-end integration—including interconnect with other operators—and promote harmonization across countries.
