About the Opportunity
Ericsson's Product Engineering Unit Silicon drives the architecture and development of Digital ASICs and SoCs that power current and future generations of mobile networks. Our Silicon System & Architecture organization defines system-level concepts, accelerator architectures, and micro-architectures that underpin Ericsson's Radio and Compute product portfolios.
You will join a highly skilled team of 7 senior technical leaders responsible for setting the direction of next-generation Digital ASICs. Together with the rest of the system team, the mission is to define accelerator solutions that improve radio and baseband performance, increase energy efficiency, and enable hardware-software co-optimization across the stack.
This role is suited for a senior architect who thrives in early-phase definition, systemization of complex hardware accelerators, and alignment across multiple technical domains. Your contributions will directly strengthen and expand Ericsson's accelerator leadership.
What You Will Do
- Define architecture and systemization for next-generation hardware accelerators, including matrix processors for AI/ML inference, signal processing, and radio workloads.
- Specify, justify, and evaluate new accelerator features with a focus on performance, determinism, and power efficiency.
- Drive micro-architecture development for accelerator blocks and subsystems and produce high-quality specifications used by design and verification teams.
- Collaborate with the Accelerator IP Program, SoC architects, and Radio/RAN Compute organizations to translate system requirements into ASIC-level architecture.
- Guide implementation teams throughout design, verification, and validation.
- Contribute to methodology improvements for modeling, architectural exploration, and system-level workflows.
- Work closely with technical leaders across the organization to align architectural direction, ensure feasibility, and realize system-level optimization goals.
Skills You Bring
Essential
- Master's or PhD in Electronic Engineering or equivalent.
- Proven experience in systemization and architecture of hardware accelerators, ideally for real-time or high-performance systems.
- Strong background in advanced Digital ASIC/SoC development, from concept through specification to implementation support.
- Solid understanding of ASIC design flows, EDA environments, and modeling methodologies.
- Proficiency in VHDL and/or SystemVerilog.
- Strong programming capability in relevant languages (e.g., Python, Julia, MATLAB, C/C++).
- Excellent skills in linear algebra, neural networks, and signal-processing algorithms.
- Demonstrated technical leadership, with the ability to drive complex work both independently and collaboratively.
- Experience with GIT and modern development workflows.
Can Be Learned in the Role
- Ericsson-specific accelerator IP frameworks and architectural methodologies.
- ML toolchains (e.g., Llama or similar) as applied to ASIC accelerator design.
- Domain-specific radio and RAN Compute use-case optimization.

What We Do
Ericsson builds the digital connectivity the world relies on. Our technology underpins the mobile networks, platforms, and systems that billions of people, businesses, and societies depend on every day.
We are a global leader in communications technology, delivering mobile network infrastructure, cloud software, and wireless connectivity solutions for service providers and enterprises worldwide. Our networks support connectivity across 180+ countries, helping power everyday communication as well as critical digital services at global scale.
Connectivity has evolved far beyond consumer mobile use. Today, nearly 80% of the world’s population accesses the internet via mobile networks, and Ericsson is helping shape what comes next. We are advancing 5G and 5G Advanced, developing network APIs that open connectivity to the global developer ecosystem, and applying automation and AI to make networks more intelligent, efficient, and resilient.
Ericsson was the first company to launch live 5G networks on five continents, and our 5G platform is now commercially live in 150+ networks across 60+ countries. We also support more than 36,000 enterprise customers, enabling secure, high-performance connectivity for industries such as manufacturing, aviation, logistics, utilities, and public safety, where reliability and performance are mission critical.
Innovation is central to how we work. Ericsson has approximately 28,000 employees in research and development, backed by one of the strongest intellectual property portfolios in the industry with 60,000+ granted patents. Our engineers, researchers, and technologists work across 100+ global R&D sites, helping define how networks evolve and how digital infrastructure is built for the long term.
As the world moves toward a mobile-first, AI-powered, and cloud-driven future, connectivity becomes the foundation for digital transformation across every industry. Ericsson is building that foundation, shaping the future of digital connectivity through technology that operates at global scale and supports real-world impact, today and for what comes next.
