Your main responsibilities will be:

  • Design, develop, and validate eSIM Electrical Profiles (MVNO/Roaming) according to GSMA SGP.22 standards.
  • Configure file structures ($EF_{ICCID}$, $EF_{IMSI}$, $EF_{PLMN}$, etc.) and ensure correct applet loading.
  • Manage the generation and testing of Input Files for Subscription Management platforms (SM-DP+).
  • Conduct rigorous testing on the latest iOS and Android flagships (e.g., iPhone 15/16, Samsung S24, Pixel 9) and mid-range devices from global markets (APAC/LATAM/EMEA).
  • Validate the Local Profile Assistant (LPA) behavior during the Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) flow—from QR code scanning to the TLS-secured profile download.
  • Plan and execute Over-the-Air (OTA) campaigns to update the eUICC file system ($EF_{PLMN}$, $EF_{IMSI}$) or applet parameters on devices already deployed in the field.
  • Use tools like the COMPRION eSIM Tracer or Ul SIMtester to analyze APDU logs and identify failures in Remote File Management (RFM) or Remote Application Management (RAM) over HTTP, or HTTPS (CAT-TP).
  • Perform "live" OTA testing using network simulators or global roaming testbeds to verify Steering of Roaming (SoR) updates and ensure the device correctly switches to the preferred partner network.
  • Analyze protocol traces (APDU logs) to debug communication issues between the handset and the eUICC.
  • Investigate "No Service" or activation failures specific to international roaming steering.
  • Optimize profile sizes to ensure fast download speeds over varying network conditions (3G to 5G).
