Radio Functional System Designer (264645)

Are you ready to create the 5G future?

Predicting the future is fun. Inventing it is powerful. We do both. 5G is coming soon, and Ericsson is the early leader in bringing it to market. With the commercial launch of 5G expected in 2020, and pre-commercial trials already happening now, there’s 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.

As part of our Radio System Design Team within the Radio Products & Variants organization in Lund you will be part of a group of functional system engineers and contribute to the architecture, systemization, and development of innovative radio units for 5G as part of Ericsson´s mobile network infrastructure products.

In radio, a function is realized in HW and SW, therefore both HW and SW knowledge is important. You can put your emphasis on either one, but understanding the dependencies between HW and SW is crucial. A good knowledge in DSP (Digital Signal Processing) and RF (Radio Frequency) performance is a plus. Our functions directly impact the RF performance of the radio.

The scope of radio functional systemization spans from communication with the digital unit, to the antenna system, as well as digging into the HW control systems, HW near SW and compensation algorithms. We define the functional behavior of the radios, both as a node in ERS (Ericsson Radio System) and radio internally.

Within our unit we are often specialists in a technical area. To solve complex tasks, we work in teams and use each others’ strenghts. We work closely with HW, SW and different levels of test within the whole organization.

As a functional system engineer you will be involved from the early pre-study phase through definition and development in the development process of new products, and you will act as a link between HW design, including ASIC specifications, and SW design.

You will interface many disciplines, people and functions within the organization, and you are expected to investigate and define functionality through independent work as well as in active collaboration with developers of different disciplines within HW as well as SW.

Personal qualifications

Communication, documentation, collaboration, and knowledge sharing is natural for you as well as a structural way of working. You are comfortable in leading technical discussions with colleagues to ensure common understanding of problems and to define alternative solutions. You know how to plan your own work as well as coordinating deliverables with others. You take responsibility, you are positive, you have a natural drive for results and you are easy to collaborate with.

Why is Ericsson a great place to work?

Ericsson enables communications service providers to capture the full value of connectivity. The company’s portfolio spans Networks, Digital Services, Managed Services, and Emerging Business and is designed to help our customers go digital, increase efficiency, find new revenue streams, and create new user experiences. Ericsson’s investments in innovation have delivered the benefits of telephony and mobile broadband to billions of people around the world ensuring our solutions – and our customers – are at the forefront of innovation. We support networks that connect more than 2.5 billion subscribers. With over 100,000 employees and customers in 180 countries, we combine global scale with technology and service leadership. 40 percent of the world’s mobile traffic is carried over an Ericsson network. And, our Technology for Good and Connect to Learn programs include creating technology that makes it easier to save lives, feed societies, bring technology to emerging markets and connectivity to remote areas, and grow businesses and prosperity.

At Ericsson, we give our employees the freedom to think big and navigate their career, on a global scale. We create technology that helps others, from helping people enjoy their favourite content to helping people recover from natural disasters by enabling better communications between rescue workers. Your ideas and innovations can turn into achievements that impact society and change the world, creating new connections, new possibilities, and new capabilities. We find that Ericsson is at its best when we bring together the diverse skills of our people. Working across business areas, across cultures, across geographical borders, across technical disciplines. More often than not, across ground-breaking solutions. Next generation technology can be staggeringly complex. But the simpler it is to use; the more people benefit from it. Join us and help build technology that makes it simple to connect with information, business, societies, and each other.
