Our Exciting Opportunity

Ericsson Research develops new communication solutions and standards. The organization has responsibility to provide Ericsson with world-class system concepts, technology innovations, and methodology.

We are establishing a new research group in Japan. Focus is on air interface concepts, algorithm research, standardization (mainly 3GPP) and potentially some testbed/trial activities. External engagements towards customers, universities and other parts of the eco-system is a natural part of the responsibilities of the position and the operational scope. The group will contribute in our global research project portfolio.

You will

• Investigate and evaluate concepts and solutions for future radio access technologies and standards, such as 6G, 3GPP NR and IEEE 802.11
• continuously develop and improve work of existing standards
• Master physical layer techniques (multiple access technologies, modulation, channel coding, parameter estimation, multi-antenna transmitter and receiver algorithms, etc.)
• Use simulation tools as means of evaluation
• Understand the interaction between link and system performance, to ensure that proposed access solutions are enabling efficient overall performance
• Understand hardware possibilities and limitations, based on today’s and tomorrow’s technologies

Over time, you will work with algorithm design, model and simulator tool development, simulations, concept design and standardization. A wide range of additional opportunities, such as customer interactions, testbed implementation and field performance tasks, exist as well.

To be successful in the role you must have

• M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree, or similar, preferably with demonstrated experience and knowledge in the above-mentioned required skills.
• Competence and experience in more than two of the following areas: signal processing, control theory, wireless communications, and communications hardware.
• Skill in structured object-oriented programming, preferably both C++ and Matlab, as computer simulations will be natural parts of the work in addition to analytical evaluations.
• Good knowledge in simulation and evaluation tool methodology
• Good communication in written and spoken English, Japanese is preferable
• Ability to handle theoretical and practical research as well as the development aspects of the work
• Team skills, since collaboration and interaction with other skilled researchers daily are the basis for our ways of working
