About this opportunity
We at Ericsson Packet Core (PC) development are a passionate team of engineers on a mission to build the world's best User Plane. We work in autonomous, empowered teams and take pride in developing technology that makes a difference in the lives of billions of people.
Our Packet Core User Plane enables mobile connectivity for a wide range of applications, from everyday mobile services to demanding use cases such as remote healthcare and connected and autonomous vehicles. As the industry moves further into 5G and cloud-native technologies, our solutions are increasingly deployed in complex, distributed environments built on public cloud and Cloud-as-a-Service (CaaS) platforms.
We are now looking for an experienced engineer to help us prepare, integrate and verify our Packet Core User Plane solution for deployment in our customers' cloud-native environments.
Our ideal candidate does not need to be an expert in every technology mentioned below. We value strong engineering fundamentals, curiosity and the ability to learn quickly just as much as specific domain knowledge. If you enjoy understanding complex systems, solving challenging technical problems and taking ownership of issues, we will help you build the Packet Core and telecom expertise you need for the role.
Our product
We are responsible for the development and maintenance of the Packet Core User Plane. The User Plane handles packet routing and forwarding in mobile data networks between the internet and the radio network. All 3G, 4G and 5G mobile traffic passes through the User Plane.
Our solution runs on multiple platforms, including carrier-grade routers, virtual machines and containers, and is increasingly integrated into cloud-native environments and customer-specific CaaS solutions.
This role focuses on making the complete solution work reliably in these environments.
This role goes beyond traditional software testing. You will work as a system-level engineer, solving complex integration and troubleshooting challenges across the Packet Core, cloud, infrastructure and networking layers.
