Job description
Within Ericsson Research, Research Area Radio is responsible for providing advanced system and signal processing concepts and solutions, including antenna concepts and solutions, targeting standardization of radio access systems as well as implementation in network nodes and in user or machine terminals. As Researcher within the Radio department, you will be part of investigating and evaluating concepts and solutions for future radio access technologies and standards. You will also be part of the continuous development and improvement work of existing standards, such as NR. Mastering physical layer techniques is key (multiple access technologies, modulation, spectrum regulations, channel coding, parameter estimation, multi-antenna transmitter and receiver algorithms, etc.). Using simulation tools as means of evaluation is natural part of the work. Understanding the interaction between link and system performance, to ensure that proposed access solutions are enabling efficient overall performance is also crucial. Furthermore, understanding hardware possibilities and limitations, based on today’s and tomorrow’s technologies is important. Over time our staff will work with algorithm design, model and simulator tool development, simulations, concept design and standardization. A wide range of additional opportunities, such as testbed implementation and field performance tasks, exist as well. This approach enables each researcher to develop a truly broad competence and a holistic view. The work is performed in projects that may incorporate internal and external research collaborations.

The available Researcher positions will strengthen our 5G research on physical layer and communication concepts for, e.g. mobile broadband and machine type communication. It could also include standardization of the above-mentioned areas.

Minimum Qualifications & Experience Requirements:
• M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree, or similar, preferably with demonstrated experience and knowledge within research.
• Previous experience in at least one of the following areas: information theory, signal processing, artificial intelligence, wireless mobile and/or military communication.
• Fluency in wirtten and spoken English.
• Great communication skills and ability to working in a team.
• Strong personal drive and focus on the tasks at hand.

Preferred Qualifications & Experience Requirements:
• Skills in structured object-oriented programming, such as C++, and Matlab.
• Good knowledge in simulation and evaluation tool methodology is desirable.
• Interest in leadership or leadership experience.
