About this Opportunity
We are excited to present a dynamic opportunity for a Solution Architect - Orchestration to join our Core Commerce & Orchestration unit in MEA.
At Ericsson, we are driving the evolution towards autonomous, programmable networks, enabling Communication Service Providers to monetize 5G through differentiated connectivity, automation, and AI-driven operations.
This role is focused on working in both Pre-Sales and Delivery designing and delivering end-to-end orchestration solutions, leveraging catalog-driven architectures, inventory integration, and assurance capabilities, with Ericsson Service Orchestration and Automation (ESOA) as the core engine.
The architect will play a key role in shaping solutions that enable:• 5G platform scaling • Differentiated connectivity (incl. network slicing) • AI/ML-driven closed-loop automation • Autonomous network operations aligned with TMF and SMO frameworks
What you will do• Lead value-based solution positioning and proposal development to secure strategic transformation programs and ensure deliverability• Act as design authority for major transformation engagements, ensuring solutions align with customer needs and Ericsson's architectural principles.• Own the technical architecture end-to-end: define, scope and drive design solutions across Orchestration domain, which major focus on ESOA. Design end-to-end orchestration solutions for:
o RAN, Core, and Transport domains
o 5G & Differentiated Connectivity Enablement (Network slicing, QoS/QoE-driven services, Traffic steering and policy-based automation)
o Autonomous Networks & Closed-Loop Automation• Contribute to reusable assets (service templates, orchestration patterns, integration blueprints) and support standardization and industrialization of delivery approaches to enable faster delivery through reuse and best practices• Share knowledge, contribute to internal communities and foster a culture of re-use and continuous learning
Skills You will Bring:• 10+ years in telecom/OSS domain• HLD/LLD design & customer-facing experience• Hands-on experience with service orchestration platforms (ESOA or similar)• Catalog-driven architectures (service/resource modeling)• Good understanding of Inventory systems, Order management (SOM/COM concepts) and Assurance (PM/FM, event correlation, AIOps basics)• Familiarity with industry standards (TM Forum, 3GPP, O-RAN SMO)• Knowledge of 5G Core/RAN, microservices & cloud-native architectures
Can Be Learned on the Job:• Ericsson-specific tooling & internal processes• Deep AIOps/closed-loop automation specifics
You will be at the forefront of Ericsson's orchestration and automation strategy, contributing to the realization of autonomous networks and next-generation 5G services. You'll work on cutting-edge solutions, directly impacting how CSPs:• monetize their networks • automate operations • deliver differentiated services
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.
