Role Overview
As a Junior RAN Test Engineer, you will join Ericsson’s RAN Test team and help ensure our 4G/5G Radio Access Network (RAN) solutions function as expected before deploying them into live customer networks.

Over time, you can advance to roles such as Integration Engineer, Network Engineer, or Test Specialist within Ericsson.
What You Will Do
In your initial months, the focus shifts from learning to hands-on contribution, with increasing responsibility as your confidence grows. Key tasks include:
-
Structured Onboarding Follow a formal onboarding plan covering 4G/5G RAN concepts, Ericsson tools, and workflows, using internal learning platforms and workshops.
-
Assisted Contributions
- Shadow experienced colleagues during test planning, execution, and troubleshooting.
- Gradually take ownership of small, clearly defined tasks with ongoing guidance.
-

-
Data Collection & Analysis
- Gather, organise, and document logs, traces, and basic KPIs from tests to help the team interpret results and resolve issues.
