Junior RAN Test Engineer
Role Overview You will join Ericsson’s RAN Test team as a Junior RAN Test Engineer, ensuring our 4G/5G Radio Access Network (RAN) solutions perform as expected before deployment into live customer networks. This is an early-career role designed for recent graduates, offering structured support, mentoring, and a clear learning pathway to build expertise in mobile networks, test methods, and automation at a measured pace.
You will begin by mastering foundational knowledge and contributing to real-world project work alongside Integration Engineers, Network Engineers, and Test Managers. This role suits those who enjoy problem-solving, understanding technical systems, and exploring how mobile networks function. Over time, you can progress towards roles such as Integration Engineer, Network Engineer, or Test Specialist at Ericsson.
What You Will Do
Your journey starts with focused learning, with increasing responsibility as you gain confidence. Key responsibilities include:
-
Learning & Onboarding
- Follow a structured onboarding plan covering 4G/5G RAN concepts, Ericsson tools, and internal ways of working through learning platforms and local workshops.
-
Hands-On Contributions
- Shadow experienced colleagues during test planning, execution, and troubleshooting, gradually taking ownership of small, well-defined tasks with guidance.
- Assist in preparing and running test cases for new software releases, features, and configuration changes within the RAN test environment, under senior engineer supervision.
