Grow with us

At this time, Ericsson Canada Inc. does not provide immigration assistance/sponsorship now or in the future for this position.

About This Opportunity

Ericsson is looking for an AI Software & Data Engineering Developer to join our team in Ottawa, Canada. In this role, you will contribute to building new functionality as part of Ericsson's AI transformation within BNEW R&D, helping create scalable, secure, and data-driven AI solutions that improve R&D efficiency and enable customer deployments across RAN.

The RAN Reliability System in Customer Deployment Evolution team is a group of software developers and data scientists building AI solutions to increase R&D efficiency and support customer deployments. You will help transform ideas and prototypes into maintainable software products by combining strong engineering practices, AI/ML knowledge, and practical data engineering skills. We are looking for someone who is organized, curious, open to emerging technologies, and motivated to solve complex challenges collaboratively. This is a hybrid position with an expectation of approximately 60% in-office presence.

What you will do:

• Develop AI solutions to scale and industrialize at the RAN level, transforming troubleshooting on a common foundation to scale from customer to design.
• Take technical ownership for the design, implementation, integration, verification, deployment, and continuous improvement of AI-enabled software solutions.
• Build data engineering capabilities, including data ingestion, transformation, validation, quality checks, metadata handling, reusable pipelines, and reliable processing of engineering data for AI and analytics use cases.
• Work with internal engineering data - such as logs, telemetry, test results, CI/CD results, trouble reports, and code review information - while respecting security, confidentiality, and access control requirements.
• Integrate AI solutions into software development workflows, including Git-based development, Gerrit/code review, continuous integration, automated testing, secure development practices, and vulnerability management.
• Collaborate with developers, data scientists, architects, product owners, and R&D stakeholders to ensure solutions are scalable, maintainable, secure, and aligned with Ericsson's ways of working.
• Support colleagues through mentorship, contribute to design reviews, and help the team adopt AI-assisted development and data-driven approaches responsibly.

The Skills You Bring

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field; equivalent hands-on experience is equally valued.
• Approximately 6+ years of experience in software development, preferably in telecommunications software, with a background in cloud-native and/or custom software using containers, Kubernetes, Python, Java, shell scripting, and Linux environments.
• Demonstrated experience integrating AI/ML into software workflows, including AI-assisted development, automated testing, LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), prompt engineering, and domain-specific model adaptation.
• Solid understanding of CI/CD, Git-based workflows, Gerrit/code review, automated verification, secure development, DevSecOps, and vulnerability management in large-scale R&D environments.
• Practical data engineering experience, including ingestion, transformation, validation, data quality, metadata, traceability, access control, reliable pipelines, and operational monitoring.
• Experience using engineering data from development, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and CI/CD to create AI-ready datasets and actionable insights.
• Ability to design scalable, maintainable, and secure AI solutions and turn prototypes into reusable, well-supported software components.
• Experience contributing to technical direction and improving engineering practices across teams.
• Strong analytical and communication skills; familiarity with 5G NR, LTE RAN, or Cloud RAN is a strong asset.
