Head of Hardware design 2

Ericsson AB

In Q3 2022, Business Area Networks announced changes to support our contribution to the company strategy in extending leadership in mobile networks. The principles behind this transformation of Business Area Networks are to strengthen end-to-end development of our market leading products, simplify the development flows and processes, empower our developer community, and ensure our sustainable long-term competitiveness by aligning technology and strategy. To accomplish this and in entering the next phase of our evolution of R&D, we are transforming the Development Unit Networks (DNEW) unit into three new engineering units.

Hardware Engineering is one of the three new Engineering Units in Business Area Networks, responsible for the end-to-end development for our Radios and Transport products, including ASIC and FPGA development, as well as optimization of integrated software development flows.
Product Engineering Unit Radio is a new unit within HW Engineering, largely based on today’s PDU Radio, responsible for development, release, maintenance and quality assurance of Ericsson Radio Portfolio. Further, PEU Radio is responsible to secure technology for future platforms and products, including technology strategy and specification of components, modules and ASICs that future products will be based upon. Driving the responsibilities of PEU Radio will be done with tight collaboration within HW Engineering Unit in general and with PEU Silicon and PEU Radio Unit Software in particular.

Radio Product Sweden is the organization within Product Engineering Unit Radio that are responsible for all Radio product development in Sweden including the responsibility for the most advanced and largest projects in which we introduce our new digital ASIC’s and set the product architecture for our next Radio product family/generation.
