Join our TeamAbout This OpportunityForty percent of the world's mobile traffic is carried over Ericsson networks.
Nobody thinks about that until it stops. A mobile network is how people call an ambulance, pay for lunch, and find each other. When it works it is invisible. When it fails it is national news. That is the scale a single line of baseband code operates at.
We are entering the 6G program now and forming the teams that will carry it. That is why we are hiring. Join in three years and you inherit the decisions — join now and you make some of them.
We are looking for newly graduated engineers at the start of their career to build the first 6G product with us.What You Will DoYou will join a cross-functional team working in baseband software development — in the physical layer, where radio energy becomes data, or in the uplink and downlink processing chains that schedule and move user data. We will not pretend there is a long 6G delivery history to join. There is not. That is the point, and it is what makes this different from maintaining something finished.
The difficulty is real, and it is specific. Real-time C and C++ under microsecond deadlines, against 3GPP specifications, on multi-core DSPs, is unforgiving work — and it is exactly where a confident wrong answer from an LLM looks identical to a correct one. So we treat working with AI as an engineering skill to be learned rather than a tool to be handed out, and the scarce part of that skill is judgment: knowing which answers to trust, which to verify, and which to throw away.
The craft itself is classic baseband engineering, and it looks like this:
The Skills You Bring
You do not need to be an expert in telecom - several people on these teams arrived from entirely different domains. We will teach you the standard; we cannot teach you curiosity.
