Summary
Jose Tapia is a systems architecture engineer with nine years of hands-on experience driving 5G proof-of-concept work and RAN slicing use cases at T-Mobile. He blends academic rigor—pursuing an MSEE after a BSEE from the University of Washington Bothell—with practical skills in Unity, ARCore, C#, XCAL/XCAP, and RAN testing tools like QXDM/QCAT. Comfortable moving between low-level radio network testing and app-level AR/XR development, he’s known for tackling ambiguous problems during the pandemic-driven transition from school to industry. An active IEEE member and former tutor/teaching assistant, he brings strong communication and mentoring experience alongside a mathematician’s analytical mindset (ICPC World Finals participant). Based in Bothell, WA, he combines research-oriented thinking with production-focused execution to advance next-generation wireless capabilities.
