About the Role:

As a Merit Reviewer supporting our Federal government client, you will be trusted to provide application reviews for a program that aims to foster competition and innovation across the global telecommunications ecosystem, lower costs for consumers and network operators, and strengthen the 5G supply chain.

• Provide a thorough, consistent, and independent examination of an application based on pre-established criteria by persons knowledgeable in the field of endeavor for which support is requested.

• Carry out our Commitments to Deliver, Grow, and Thrive

  You will work as part of a dynamic team remotely.

  Required Experience/Skills:

• Merit reviewers shall have expertise, knowledge, and experience as demonstrated by a technical understanding and five or more years of professional experience in one or more of the following relevant areas:

• Working knowledge of ORAN functional components

• Wireless telecommunications

• 5G network design

• Radio access networks (RAN)

• Wireless testing

• RAN research and development

• Similar technical background or expertise

• Program or project management experience within telecommunications that gives the reviewer a background in management, financial performance, and/or other topics concerning project success

  Conflict of Interest:

  A merit review must be conducted by an impartial, objective, unbiased individual with the requisite expertise, knowledge, and experience in a technical field who can evaluate or assess a proposal for its value, quality, and likelihood of success. One who conducts a merit review must not have a conflict of interest, or the appearance of a conflict of interest, regarding any application under his or her review. 

  Merit Reviewers are required to reveal any conflicts of interest (real or apparent) prior to conducting a merit review. Considerations will be given to factors such as:

• Potential conflicts (i.e., Merit Reviewers cannot review applications in the same grant program for which they have any prior work or contracting experience.)

• An appearance of impairment of objectivity (i.e., due to relationships or activities with other persons or entities, a Merit Reviewer may be unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the government.)

• Geographic location of the Merit Reviewers with respect to the location of the applications to be reviewed (i.e., a Merit Reviewer may not be allowed to review an application submitted by its home county, state, etc.)

• Merit Reviewer availability and schedules
