Researcher

• Join our Team

About this opportunity:

Join Ericsson Research and help shape the future of cloud and compute technologies for 6G and beyond. You will be part of a globally connected research team in Bangalore working on cutting-edge topics such as Advanced Cloud Hardware and Federated AI Compute. Our research spans high-performance computing, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, virtualization, and intelligent compute platforms that will power future telecom networks.

This role offers the opportunity to create industry-leading innovations, influence standards, contribute to patents and publications, and collaborate with world-class researchers across Ericsson's global research organization. Whether your ambition is to become a recognized technical expert, research leader, standards delegate, or people leader, this role provides a strong platform for growth and impact.

You will do:

• Conduct advanced research in cloud, compute, and distributed systems technologies for future telecom networks.

• Explore and solve complex, open-ended research challenges in areas such as Advanced Cloud Hardware or Federated AI Compute.

• Design, execute, and drive technical studies, proofs of concept, and innovation initiatives.

• Develop novel solutions that contribute to patents, publications, standards, and business value.

• Collaborate with researchers, product teams, and external stakeholders across Ericsson's global network.

• Contribute to technology strategy and help shape the evolution of intelligent, high-performance network infrastructure.

• Support standardization and ecosystem activities, including contributions to industry forums and organizations such as 3GPP.

• Delivering high-quality research outcomes, publications, patents, and innovation disclosures.

• Contributing to technical studies and proof-of-concept activities within the first 6 months.

• Driving impactful research initiatives and producing tangible results within the first 12 months.

• Building strong collaborations across research, product, and standards communities.

You will bring:

• We are looking for research talent-not generic cloud or software engineers-with a strong academic/research foundation in compute systems.

• Candidates should have an MSc/MTech/MRes/PhD/PostDoc from a leading research institution, with demonstrated research capability in high-performance computing, distributed systems, computer architecture, cloud/compute infrastructure, virtualization, AI systems, or federated/distributed AI. We value candidates who can independently identify important technical problems, develop novel solutions, and demonstrate their validity through rigorous analysis, experimentation, or prototypes.

Research Excellence:

• Ability to identify significant technical problems and formulate novel research questions.

• Strong analytical, experimental, and problem-solving capability.

• Evidence of research output or technical innovation.

Compute & Systems:

• Deep understanding of at least one relevant compute/systems area rather than broad familiarity with many technologies.

• Strong programming/prototyping capability and experience working with real systems or experimental platforms.

Research Impact:

• Ability to turn research into prototypes, patents, publications, standards contributions, or technology concepts.

• Ability to collaborate with researchers across disciplines and geographies.

"All academic credentials must be from recognized and accredited institutions and are further subject to verification."

Why join Ericsson?At Ericsson, you´ll have an outstanding opportunity. The chance to use your skills and imagination to push the boundaries of what´s possible. To build solutions never seen before to some of the world's toughest problems. You´ll be challenged, but you won't be alone. You´ll be joining a team of diverse innovators, all driven to go beyond the status quo to craft what comes next.
