As a part of their Master Tech Standardisation series, ETSI has produced an authoritive introduction to the standards work and how experts engage and contribute to it.
Howard Benn, one of the greats of 3GPP and former ETSI Board member was enlisted to make a highly watchable 11 minute video on the Roles in Standardisation.
- Why consider standardisation as a career?
- The roles of people involved in standards:
- Delegate
- Elected Official
- ETSI / MCC Support Officer
- Company Back Office support
- Company Research Engineer
- Company Standards Manager
- The profile and qualifications to become a standards engineer.
- Skills to focus on (Regulation, business awareness, intellectual property aspects) and the skills 'mix'.
Standards work could be for you. After watching this video from ETSI, you will have a great idea about what is involved and where to go next.
ETSI On 3GPP
Another video on ETSI's role in 3GPP is also of interest, which covers the history of the project and details of how each 3GPP Release adds to the overall system.
