Join Our Team
Ericsson is a global leader in 5G innovation, driving next-generation mobile networks and shaping the evolution toward 6G. With decades of wireless expertise, Ericsson delivers cutting-edge connectivity solutions worldwide.
The Opportunity
Join Ericsson's 5G New Radio (NR) organization and lead system-level architecture for the L2 Scheduler subsystem, the core intelligence of the gNB. You will define architectural direction, ensure platform parity across Cloud RAN (GPP) and purpose-built systems, and drive technical governance across global teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Own system architecture for the L2 Scheduler, ensuring scalability, performance, and cross-platform consistency.
- Define and govern interfaces, design principles, and architecture across L1, L2, OAM, and deployment domains.
- Translate 3GPP NR standards and product requirements into system requirements, design constraints, and interface specifications.
- Lead cross-functional teams across Bangalore, Ottawa, and Sweden to align architecture, resolve integration issues, and drive technical decisions.
- Drive system performance analysis and optimization for throughput, latency, and capacity KPIs.
- Own Solution Packages (SPs), ensuring design readiness, verification completeness, and deployment confidence.
- Define integration and verification strategies, acceptance criteria, and system-level test approaches.
- Mentor system engineers and promote system-level thinking, design reviews, and engineering best practices.
- Evaluate emerging technologies including AI/ML-based scheduling, Cloud RAN evolution, and 6G concepts.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or related field.
- 10+ years of telecom R&D experience, including 3+ years in system architecture, system management, or technical leadership.
- Strong knowledge of 3GPP 5G NR, especially MAC layer scheduling, HARQ, link adaptation, MIMO, and carrier aggregation.
- Experience designing real-time baseband software systems, including interfaces, data flows, timing budgets, and state machines.
- Proven expertise in performance analysis, KPI troubleshooting, and system-level trade-off decisions.
- Experience with GPP/COTS and purpose-built/DSP platforms.
- Proficiency in C/C++ for design reviews and implementation guidance.
- Strong collaboration skills across globally distributed teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with O-RAN, CU/DU architectures, and cloud-native RAN deployments.
- Knowledge of scheduling algorithms such as proportional fair, max throughput, QoS-aware scheduling, and DRX optimization.
- Exposure to AI/ML techniques for RAN optimization and predictive scheduling.
- Experience in Trouble Report (TR) analysis and field issue resolution.
- Familiarity with system verification, simulation environments, KPI benchmarking, and Agile/SAFe methodologies.
Why Join Ericsson?
- Architect one of the world's most advanced 5G scheduling solutions used by billions of users.
- Contribute to Ericsson's journey from 5G to 6G.
- Collaborate with leading engineers across Sweden, Ottawa, and Bangalore.
- Influence global product direction and network performance.
- Access strong career growth opportunities, competitive compensation, and an inclusive work environment.
If you are a systems thinker with deep telecom expertise and a passion for building high-performance wireless systems, this is an opportunity to shape the future of mobile connectivity.
