We operate a state-of-the-art OpenStack cloud and compute environment used around the clock by hundreds of Ericsson and academic users. It is both a reliable service and our primary research testbed.\nYou will bridge systems operations and academic inquiry: keep the infrastructure performant and reliable through daily operations while contributing to research on cloud architectures, virtualization, AI-driven operations (AIOps) and software execution environments. You will use operational challenges to inform research, and hands-on experiments and prototypes to evaluate new system concepts. The role calls for practical engineering, debugging and active systems management alongside scientific curiosity-not theory alone.\nWhat You Will Do\nOperate and evolve the OpenStack cloud and compute environment used by Ericsson and academic researchers.\nTroubleshoot complex distributed systems, investigate root causes, and help ensure reliable services.\nDesign, prototype and evaluate system concepts, software execution environments, performance and reliability.\nContribute to and drive research studies in compute systems, cloud architectures, virtualization and AIOps, including collaboration on scientific publications.\nAutomate repetitive tasks, improve workflows and scale infrastructure; work across operations, engineering and research to turn practical challenges into real-world solutions.\nThe Skills You Bring\nA research-oriented degree, such as a Ph.D., or equivalent experience in a research-intensive role.\nDemonstrated research contribution in compute, cloud virtualization or software systems, for example through publications, patents, technical reports or working prototypes.\nHands-on Linux administration and systems engineering experience, with a solid understanding of cloud technologies, Kubernetes, data-center operations and networking fundamentals.\nExperience with containers (Docker or Podman) and orchestration with Kubernetes.\nAbility to research, instrument and maintain compute environments with AI capabilities supporting workflows, monitoring and intelligent observability.\nA hands-on “doer” mindset; analytical and scientific curiosity; strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis; and a drive to automate and improve workflows.\nStrong collaboration skills across operational, engineering and research teams.\nIt is an advantage to bring or develop skills in Ansible, Terraform or Helm; advanced OpenStack operations; HPC or accelerators (GPUs, DPUs or FPGAs); and research collaboration or patenting processes.\nDeadline: 06.11.2026\nWhy join Ericsson? At Ericsson, you´ll have an outstanding opportunity. The chance to use your skills and imagination to push the boundaries of what´s possible. To build solutions never seen before to some of the world’s toughest problems. You´ll be challenged, but you won’t be alone. You´ll be joining a team of diverse innovators, all driven to go beyond the status quo to craft what comes next.\nWhat happens once you apply?Click Here to find all you need to know about what our typical hiring process looks like.Encouraging a diverse and inclusive organization is core to our values at Ericsson, that's why we champion it in everything we do.
