ABOUT NIKSHETH KANDURI

As a Senior Cellular System Test Engineer at Apple Technologies, I lead initiatives at the intersection of wireless innovation, system validation, and test automation for cutting-edge 5G mmWave technologies. With a Master’s in Electrical Engineering and an MBA in Cybersecurity, I bring both deep technical expertise and a strategic perspective to the evolution of next-generation communication systems.I have engineered and deployed cloud-based Python automation frameworks that transformed post processing efficiency. I lead cross-functional testing efforts validating 5G FR2 beam management, AI/ML modem features, and multi-protocol call flows (PHY, MAC, RLC, RRC, PDCP), ensuring modem performance aligns with and often exceeds 3GPP standards.My work includes strategic system performance analysis across ENDC, NRDC, and FR2SA scenarios, uncovering critical design optimizations and driving improvements in throughput, latency, and reliability. I have also spearheaded automation strategies that enhanced stability testing, lab to OTA validation, and regression workflows, enabling faster go to market readiness.Prior to Qualcomm, I contributed to large scale DAS system design, enhancing RF coverage for high-density venues such as Raymond James Stadium.I am passionate about leading teams in complex system validation, innovating automation architectures, and bridging the gap between RF engineering and business impact. Certified in 5G SA/NSA technologies and RF systems, I am committed to enabling secure, resilient, and high-performance wireless networks.Open to collaborations and leadership roles focused on wireless innovation, system engineering, and technical strategy.
