Want to deep-dive into the world of wireless device technology and be a part of the coolest team at Ericsson?
As a player in our team you can apply all your skills, and at the same time you’ll develop and become even better as we constantly need to keep on par with technology evolution.
Are you holding the key to success?
In the Reverse Engineering team within Ericsson’s IPR & Licensing organization, we are committed to supporting the creation and commercialization of the industry’s strongest and most valuable patent portfolio. We have our own dedicated hardware and software labs where technical analyses of mobile devices, including 5G devices, are performed with the aim of detecting patent infringements.
For mobile devices and embedded systems in general, software plays a key role. The user experience features are implemented in software stacks and applications. Hardware for radio frequency circuits, power management, amplifiers, sensors and so on are all controlled by software. Hardware in the embedded products can to a large extent be analyzed via software. Therefore, software reverse engineering plays a key role in analyzing infringement on Ericsson IPR. With the role as senior software analyst we want to strengthen our team further in this area.

IPR & Licensing @ Ericsson
In our team, you will find yourself among 200+ professionals who have been part in creating the world’s leading patent portfolio in the cellular industry. You will meet new colleagues around the globe working not only with patents, but with licensing and strategies and so much more. Your contributions will be appreciated far beyond the reverse engineering team, and you can really be the one who makes the difference.
Ericsson is the largest creator and contributor of cellular standardized technology and consequently owns the industry’s strongest portfolio of patents essential to the 3GPP standards. Being a leader in radio infrastructure together with ongoing research in device technology and history from smartphone development results in Ericsson owning a very strong portfolio of implementation patents. Our ability to file new implementation patents where infringement can be detected, and to actively work with infringement detection is essential for licensing our intellectual property and to be successful in litigations.
What´s in it for you?
Here at Ericsson, our culture is built on over a century of courageous decisions. With us, you will no longer be dreaming of what the future holds – you will be redefining it. You won’t develop for the status quo, but will build what replaces it.
