Lab Support Engineer - Developer

Join our Team

About this opportunity:

The Ericsson Network Engineering Services organisation delivers world-class lab environment end-to-end including lab facility infrastructure, lab network, lab IT, hardware and lab test bed installation services to Ericsson Research and Development (R&D) organizations worldwide.

Our lab operations work ensures that IT and telecommunications hardware is correctly installed, connected to the appropriate infrastructure, and accessible to remote R&D users for monitoring, configuration, and testing.

Are you interested in working in an R&D lab and data-centre environment using advanced IT and telecommunications technologies?

As a lab operations support engineer / developer, you will gain insight into—and contribute to—the integration and operation of lab hardware and infrastructure in a complex IT and telecom environment. The Lund R&D labs and data centres include hundreds of interconnected nodes and systems that must operate reliably together.

The role has a broad scope, with a particular focus on lab infrastructure, the lab IT environment, and the planning and implementation of test-bed installations for R&D users in Lund.

What you will do:

Together with your colleagues in the lab operations team, you will be responsible for:

• Planning and executing lab installations, including capacity planning and documenting test-bed installations in the global Hydra tool.
• Operating and supporting lab synchronization systems, including 10 MHz and GPS-based synchronization.
• Managing RF calibration, signal levels, and radio-frequency planning.
• Operating and maintaining the lab IT infrastructure, including virtualization environments supporting lab clients.
• Supporting lab network operations and the migration of legacy labs to the modernized NW2.0 network environment.
• Contributing to IT security and vulnerability management activities.
• Developing and improving team processes, tools, and ways of working.
• Collaborating with R&D users and other stakeholders to plan and deliver reliable lab environments.

The skills you bring:

• Technical experience with Ericsson Radio and RAN lab test beds and their associated management systems.
• Experience with Linux and Windows environments.
• General programming and scripting skills for automation, for example Python, JavaScript, or shell scripting.
• Knowledge of HTTP, web servers, ticket-management systems, and monitoring tools.
• Basic knowledge of IT security and vulnerability management.
• A service-oriented approach and experience supporting IT users.
• Strong teamwork, communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills.
• A structured and proactive approach, combined with creativity, curiosity, and strong problem-solving abilities.
• A willingness to learn and continuously develop your technical skills.
• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in IT, computer science, telecommunications, or a related field; alternatively, upper-secondary education with an IT or systems-administration focus, or equivalent knowledge and experience.

Experience from a lab, data-centre, telecommunications, or other infrastructure environment is advantageous.
