About the Opportunity
Ericsson is Europe's leading network technology company and a global pioneer shaping the 6G era. Our 6G vision will transform business and society in the 2030s through secure, efficient, and sustainable communications.
Video already accounts for 75% of mobile data traffic. In an AI-enabled world of immersive experiences, digital twins, autonomous systems, and generative media, advanced video coding is indispensable. To deliver these services on a global scale, video compression and standards must keep advancing in efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability.
Join our international team of world-class researchers at the forefront of both advanced signal processing and neural network-based compression. You will invent, implement, and evaluate algorithms that power next-generation video coding standards shaping the technology stack of 6G and AI-native media.
What You Will Do
• Invent novel video coding tools (signal processing and neural approaches) to improve video coding performance and efficiency as well as invent ways to increase robustness and flexibility of video coding standards.
• Implement inventions in software (C++/Python) and run large-scale evaluations.
• Drive technical contributions to JVET/MPEG standardization, author patents and publications.
• Collaborate with researchers and engineers across Ericsson as well as leading industry and academia experts globally.
• Contribute to Ericsson's video coding research and standardization strategy.
• Provide technical leadership and supervision.
The Skills You Bring
We welcome experienced candidates who:
• Hold M.Sc. or Ph.D. in a relevant technical field.
• Have a proven track record of video coding research with evidence of adopted contributions to JVET/MPEG (and/or other relevant SDOs), granted patents, or peer-reviewed publications.
• Have a proficient knowledge of relevant video coding standards (e.g., HEVC/H.265, VVC/H.266), deep understanding of image and video processing algorithms across end-to-end video coding pipeline and solid expertise in codec high-level syntax.
• Have experience of driving and leading technical work.
• Have strong coding skills in C++ and/or Python.
• Can communicate complex technical ideas clearly and concisely.
Nice to have:
• Experience of holding editor, coordinator, or ad-hoc group roles in JVET/MPEG or relevant SDOs.
• Experience of shaping organization's video coding standardization strategy.
• Experience of technical leadership in an international research team.
• Experience of giving talks or tutorials at relevant academia and industry events.
Why join Ericsson:
• Be part of Europe's leading tech company at the forefront of 6G and global standards.
• Work with a top-tier international research team and shape direction of next generation video coding standards.
• Have a real impact at scale with your innovations targeting billions of devices and a large share of global data traffic.
• Perform at your best, enabled by a healthy work-life balance and a commitment to long-term, sustainable progress.
