Our Exciting Opportunity

We are looking for a driven, knowledgeable and creative researcher to strengthen our efforts in concept development and standardization of 5G and 6G systems. In these efforts, we work together in diverse teams to define and realize new capabilities for future mobile networks, which are used by billions of people worldwide. This includes further growing the network performance for mobile broadband and critical communication services as well as new use cases for next generation radio networks.
In our unit at Ericsson Research, Research Area Networks, we have the mission to develop and drive outstanding procedures, protocols and architecture solutions for current and future wireless systems.

As a researcher in 5G/6G standardization, you will be working in an international and diverse team of outstanding researchers with different backgrounds and experiences, including some of the key authorities and technology leaders in mobile communication. The work comprises global standardization in 3GPP, either as a delegate attending the standardization meetings, or as part of the back-office crafting concepts. You will write contributions to the standards and protect your ideas in patents. You will invent and craft new concepts and solutions for 5G and 6G radio networks and will be involved in evaluating their performance using state-of-the-art prototypes or radio network system simulators.
