Researcher Standardization

Join our Team

About this opportunity:

We are expanding the Radio & Spectrum standardization team in our Standards & Technology organization. At Standards & Technology we are part of Ericsson Business Unit Networks to ensure technology leadership in 5G and beyond Radio Access Networks (RAN) by actively driving standardization, regulation, new architectures, concepts, and testbeds including SW- and HW research. This position is in the area of 3GPP standardization and provides the opportunity to work in a team that is focused on physical layer, radio, and spectrum standardization. You will be offered the opportunity to be part of the world’s leading RAN standardization team at an exciting time, just when we are about to start defining 6G. You will be given the opportunity to contribute to shaping Ericsson’s 6G vision and bring it to life first in 3GPP and later see it take off in actual products. The person joining us will work with 5G and 6G standardization towards 3GPP RAN4. The focus will be on BS RF aspects including performance and requirements in 5G Advanced and 6G. In our team you will work with very experienced colleagues and will be offered the opportunity to learn from the best. At BNEW ST standardization, research and product development go hand and hand and we encourage our people to explore these domains to grow competence and a career in Ericsson.

What you will do:

• Work in an international team of world-class standardization colleagues and researchers with different backgrounds and experiences in developing novel solutions and concepts for future mobile networks
• Develop Research strategies, actively participate and drive standardization, more specifically develop and drive requirements for 5G evolution and new 6G features towards 3GPP RAN4
• In collaboration with colleagues, perform research, generate simulation results, protect novel concepts through invention disclosures and provide written contributions in the area of 3GPP
• RAN4 standards
• Evaluate internal and external standardization proposals, and coordinate our view with internal stakeholders from research, development and product teams
• Manage and contribute to industry-related interactions and engagements within Ericsson including product lines, development units, customer units, and ecosystem partners
• Communicate results, a very important aspect of the work we do!

The skills you bring:

• PhD, MSc. degree or equivalent, in Electrical or Computer Engineering or related. Preferably with a specialization towards radio and physical layer aspects of wireless communication
• Excellent knowledge of mobile networks and industry with strong background in radio communication and signal processing
• Competence in BS RF transmitter and receiver requirements (conducted and radiated), RF front-end, antenna, radio spectrum and microwave circuit design
• Proficient L1/L2/L3 knowledge is needed to understand the dependencies between the radio, PHY and higher layers in the 3GPP protocol stack
• Good understanding of 3GPP device and/or network equipment implementations
• Excellent analytical thinking with a high ability to understand and drive technical conceptual proposals and solutions
• Hands-on simulation skills, at least on link level
• Comfortable with speaking in public, participating in discussions and technical debates
• Endurance to cope with extended periods (2-3 weeks) of high workload
• The ability to re-energize in between extended periods of high workload

Nice to have:

• Experience from 3GPP meeting attendance is a considerable plus
• At least basic experience in working with IPRs
• Experience in system level and protocol simulations
