Our Exciting Opportunity
Are you ready to create the 5G future?
Predicting the future is fun. Inventing it is powerful. We do both.
5G is here, and Ericsson is the early leader in bringing it to market. With the commercial launch of 5G in 2020, there has never been a better time for you to make your mark. The possibilities are endless across industries – from automotive and transport to agriculture, utilities, and more.
At the System department, Ericsson’s 5G Visions are born, the best performing algorithms are developed and deployed. Join us to be part of making radio networks become an innovation platform enabling emergent technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) to become integral parts of our economy and lifestyle.

Do you want to
Create the future for Ericsson’s 5G Radio Network products?
Work on forward-thinking strategic projects? The market is moving very fast right now and the right choices have to be made. Standardization needs to be steered in the right direction. Where is the market heading? What solutions will bring the most value to society? Is the performance gain worth the increased cost?
Work with the latest technical challenges? Develop the best radio resource management algorithms based on theory and verified by simulations? Innovation and patents are key! A few examples: Advanced Antenna Systems with signal processing algorithms supporting advanced beamforming algorithms, scheduling and link adaptation, cloud computing and machine learning.
Ensure world-leading performance in our customer’s network? Did the theory pay off live? Do we have the best performing network at the world’s biggest sports events where everyone uploads pictures simultaneously? Are the people on high-speed trains in Japan equally satisfied with their network connections as they are at home? Will the system be fast and reliable enough to support new applications such as for remote surgery or control of industrial robots?
Work with some of the most experienced network, radio and signal processing engineers in the world? Constantly develop your competence together with highly competent and motivated colleagues.
Learn from our global organisation? You will have a central role with and work towards many other parts of Ericsson, such as Sales, Services, Customer units all over the world, Ericsson Research and Design.
