Back before cell phones had color screens and GPS, digital service just meant that you were able to send and receive text messages. I was convinced that it was important to have a dual band phone – analog and digital. I was often off fishing in rural areas where digital cell service was nonexistent, so I figured that it was better to have crappy service than no service. We’ve certainly moved into the digital age of cell phones, but there are still all types of different cellular networks that require different frequencies and hardware to operate on. Vanu is a Cambridge, MA based company that is building a software based radio access network. What does that mean? Instead of requiring cellular providers to invest in new hardware for every network that they operate on, they can use a single reusable hardware platform to operate on multiple networks. Although the science behind what Vanu does goes right over our heads, we think that it sounds pretty slick. We featured Vanu’s internships yesterday on One Day, One Internship, and we realized that they also have some exciting entry-level job opportunities, so we’re talking about them today.
If you’re on the job market right now, Vanu has a ton of opportunities that are currently available. If you’re a college senior who is just starting to look, they are just about to begin their campus recruiting schedule. Let’s start with the jobs that Vanu is hiring for right now. Vanu has entry-level opportunities in Software Development, Engineering, Customer Service. They also offer jobs in Marketing and Finance / Accounting, but nothing that is listed right now appears to be geared towards new grads. The internships that they’re currently offering are in marketing, so an entry-level marketing job at Vanu could be a possibility. Applying jobs at Vanu is easy, just submit a cover letter and resume to jobs@vanu.com.
If you’re still in school, but looking towards the future, Vanu might be a great company to look at. They have recruiting events scheduled for this fall at Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, MIT, University of Michigan, UMass – Amherst, University of Texas – Austin, University of Wisconsin – Madison, and WPI, but if your campus isn’t on the list, you can contact them at jobs@vanu.com to apply for a job or even to convince them to visit your campus. We’d imagine that they are hiring in the same areas that we mentioned above.
If you scroll down on their Jobs page, you’ll find a lot more information about what it’s like to work at Vanu. They offer 15 days of vacation in the first year, and 20 days in the second year, which is pretty remarkable.

Are you as confused by software radio access networks as we are? We hope not if you’re applying for a job with them.

Dont!!!
They have had a hiring freeze and rounds of layoffs
This information is quite dated.
Things are different between 2008 to 2009-10.
At that time Vanu Inc got cash infusion from venture capitalists.
They expanded operations, opened india office, tried to make add features to their products.
They were looking for a interns relatively fresh graduates in that phase.
Its all different now.
COO is gone, CTO is gone,
VP of Engineering twice changed.
Cofounders are gone,
Many engineers laid off.(including some who were recently hired!)
So if you are applying at Vanu, just be aware that the company is struggling. They are in a very competitive market and mature market. Their products are
not full featured. Its hard to be full featured when you enter Base Station market 20 years later. :-)
