Antenna Designer (Advanced Antenna Systems) (536625)

Our Exciting Opportunity

Do you want a thrilling challenge?

Are you an antenna designer interested in Advanced Antenna Systems for the coming 5G products?

Are you an MSc graduate with a good understanding of cellular radio networks?

If yes, then read on, and you could join us in our vision, shaping the future of mobile and broadband internet.

Radio Design is responsible for the research, development, and maintenance of Radio Unit in Ericsson Radio Base Station products. One of our major challenges is to develop and deliver high volumes of Radio Hardware in short timeframes. To achieve this goal, we brought together a team of antenna designers in different competence areas and we use the latest design and simulation tools. We consistently keep track of new technology, methodology and design techniques, ensuring that Radio Filter and Antenna design activities hold a competitive level.

We are now looking for new developers with a deep interest and knowledge in antenna design, quality and manufacturing. By joining our team, an important part of your role will be to secure new embedded antenna products to be available in time and with high quality, by specify and source from antenna suppliers globally, or by own designs. In this context, you will interface internal Radio design, Mechanical design, Sourcing, Production and Production Test and Engineering. You will be the main technical contact towards our antenna suppliers on daily basis, you will be involved in various antenna development activities like requirement analysis and definition, design, integration, verification and product documentation. You will be the one who reviews and evaluates the antenna designs end-to-end, from early phases to secured volume production, with a constantly high focus on quality.

Finally, a large extent of our work is performed together with Ericsson’s Teams as well as suppliers from all over the world. Co-operation with other design centres in Sweden and all over the world is our day-to-day reality and should represent an additional motivation for you to join our organization.

BA Networks

Business Area Networks: where 5G was born! We’re a global team of approx. 26 000 in 93 countries, with 126 nationalities represented. About half of us work in R&D, approx. 6 000 in Group Supply and 5 000 in Service Area Networks. Together we build future-proof, scalable network architectures in an industry that is constantly on the move.
