Researcher for Radio Access Technologies(139669)

Job description

Within Ericsson Research, Research Area Radio Access Technology, 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 Access Technology department, you will have responsibility to investigate, evaluate and propose improvements of radio access technologies used in existing standards such as LTE, WiFi and other standards. You will also be part of the development of concepts and solutions for future radio access technologies and standards, such as 5G. Mastering physical layer techniques is key (multiple access technologies, modulation, channel coding, parameter estimation, multi-antenna transmitter and receiver algorithms, etc.). Using simulation tools as means of evaluation is natural part of the work.

The available Researcher positions strengthen our research on radio access concepts for 5G, i.e. LTE evolution and NX, and includes improving performance for both for mobile broadband and for Internet-of-Things (IoT) communications. It could also include standardization of these areas. To qualify for the position technical competence is required and experience from the area is a plus. Interest in leadership and leadership experience are further qualifying, and since collaboration and interaction with other skilled researchers on a daily basis are the basis for our ways of working, team skills are a necessity.

Hence you will build and transfer technology competence to ensure technology leadership and profitable business for Ericsson by:

- contributing to Ericsson technology strategy
- developing novel concepts, solutions and algorithms and protect them with IPR
- driving standardization
- introducing the solutions into product development
- Presenting prototypes, concept demonstrations and publications.

Qualifications

For the available positions, we are looking for highly competent and driven researchers with competence and experience in signal processing, digital communication, information theory, control theory, and wireless communications. The positions require a M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree, or similar. A demonstrated experience and knowledge in the above mentioned skills is a plus. Skill in structured object oriented programming, preferably both C++ and Matlab based, is also required, as computer simulations will be natural parts of the work, in addition to analytical evaluations. Good knowledge in simulation and evaluation tool methodology is desirable.

The work will be performed in different project setups, where the results are typically targeting concept development, standardization or product development. Projects may also incorporate external research collaborations.
At a personal level, you have good communication and teamwork skills. You should be fluent in written and spoken English. You should enjoy working with people having diverse backgrounds and competences. You should also have the ability to handle theoretical and practical research as well as the development aspects of the work. It is important that you have strong personal drive and a strong focus on the tasks at hand.
