Senior Software Engineer - ML/AI Platforms (303812)

It will be practically impossible for human brains to understand how to run and optimize next generation of wireless networks, i.e., 5G network with distributed edge compute, that will drive economic and social transformation for all aspects of society. Machine Learning (ML) and other Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies will be vital for us to handle this opportunity. We have established a Global AI Accelerator (GAIA) in the US, Sweden and India, with 300 experts, to fast-track our strategy execution.

Within the GAIA, there is a unit for ML/AI Systems & Services (Platforms), with teams in Sweden, US, and India. We are developing components and systems, based on open source, to be integrated into Ericsson product and services. These components are enabling ML Models to be developed, trained, managed and run, ensuring security, performance, scale and reliability.

We are now looking for Senior Software Engineers – ML/AI Platform to expand our global team for AI acceleration for our group in Stockholm, Sweden.
