Join our Team

About this opportunity:


The Standards & Technology team at the Business Area Networks is responsible for securing future technology leadership for the Ericsson Radio Networks. A part of achieving this is to develop concepts and drive standardization in 3GPP RAN for 5G and 6G, impacting RAN product decisions and future product design. Standards & Technology also drives Ericsson’s projects for standardization in 3GPP, IEEE, ITU, IETF, MEF, BBF, ORAN, ONAP and so on.


The Radio Interface Standardization team is driving the standardization of the 3GPP radio interface protocols for 5G Advanced and the emerging 6G standard. We are now looking for a researcher bringing profound competence in radio protocols to our team to develop L2/L3 concepts for 6G and represent Ericsson in 3GPP RAN2.


What you will do:

• Performing, documenting and communicating research studies, measurements or computer simulations
• Creating new technical solutions and protect them with Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)
• Preparing technical input and participating as a delegate in 3GPP standardization meetings
• Supervising and coach other researchers
• Collaborating with product development teams
• Developing or contributing to technology strategies and standardization strategies
• Developing or contributing to evaluation tools, demonstrators or test beds if needed

The skills you bring:

• Ph D in Electrical Engineering, Technical Physics, or equivalent
• The successful candidate has a proven track record in performing own research and enhancing radio interface protocols
• A detailed understanding of radio interface technologies in 5G NR is a necessary requirement, particularly within the area of radio interface protocols
• Experience in driving standardization in e.g. 3GPP RAN WG2 is a merit
• Strong analytical skills and ability to acquire new knowledge and apply it in the job
• Ability to deliver high quality results under deadlines
• Working with people across organizations inside and outside the company
