Master Researcher IC Design

Join our Team

About this opportunity:

We are seeking a Master Researcher in IC Design and Multichip Integration to lead advanced research initiatives in the System-on-Package (SoP) domain and shape Ericsson's next generation of hardware platforms. With over a decade of hands-on and strategic experience in IC design, you will play a pivotal role in driving innovation, mentoring others, and influencing technical direction at both the project and organizational level.

This position offers a rare opportunity to work on a wide spectrum of technologies - from early-stage feasibility studies to proof-of-concept (PoC) demonstrators for applications ranging from portable devices to high-power base stations. Your work will directly contribute to Ericsson's patent portfolio, research strategy, and long-term competitiveness in advanced packaging and system integration.

What you will do:

An average week might include:

• Driving and coordinating advanced research activities, including system-level architecture exploration, circuit design, and package integration feasibility studies.
• Leading the definition and validation of innovative IC design methodologies or integration schemes through simulation, prototyping, and measurement campaigns.
• Inventing and actively contributing to Ericsson's IPR strategy through invention disclosures and patent development.
• Representing Ericsson in collaborations with top-tier universities, strategic partners, and global customers, providing both technical depth and thought leadership.
• Advising on technology direction and investment, influencing Ericsson's internal research strategies and long-term roadmap planning.
• Mentoring junior researchers and guiding technical discussions, ensuring best practices in design, modeling, verification, and experimental validation.
• Driving the development of PoCs, evaluation platforms, and demonstrators, bridging research with product-relevant innovation.
• Exploring and integrating emerging trends in SoP, chiplet-based design, heterogeneous integration, and advanced RF/analog systems.

The skills you bring:

Essential qualifications:

• PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience in related fileds, with 10+ years of experience in IC design and advanced integration.
• Demonstrated expertise in analog/RF IC design, including layout, verification, and measurement (e.g., LNA, Mixer, VCO, PA, PLL).
• Deep proficiency with EDA tools such as Cadence, Spectre, Calibre, Momentum, Verilog-A/AMS, and associated verification environments.
• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving capabilities, with a track record of delivering high-quality research outcomes.
• Proven experience in IP generation, including multiple patent filings or significant technical publications.

Preferred skills and experience:

• Strong understanding of chip-package-PCB integration, including co-design and simulation techniques.
• Familiarity with transceiver architectures and system-level tradeoffs in both mobile and infrastructure contexts.
• Proficiency with EM simulation and packaging tools (e.g., Ansys HFSS, Allegro).
• Experience with system modeling and simulation tools such as MATLAB or Simulink.
• Participation in industry consortia, standardization bodies, or collaborative research programs is a plus.
