22399 - Researcher within Research

Researcher within Research Area Radio Access Technology

As Researcher within the Radio Access Technology department, you will have responsibility to investigate, evaluate and propose improvements of radio access technologies used in existing standards such as LTE, WiFi, and other standards. You will also be part of the development of concepts and solutions for future radio access technologies and standards. Mastering physical layer techniques is key (multiple access technologies, modulation, channel coding, parameter estimation, multi-antenna transmitter and receiver algorithms, etc.). Using simulation tools as means of evaluation is natural part of the work. Understanding the interaction between link and system performance, to ensure that proposed access solutions are enabling efficient overall performance is also crucial. Furthermore, understanding hardware possibilities and limitations, based on today?s and tomorrow?s technologies is qualifying. Over time our staff will work with algorithm design, model and simulator tool development, simulations, concept design and standardization. A wide range of additional opportunities, such as testbed implementation and field performance tasks, exist as well. This approach enables each researcher to develop a truly broad competence and a holistic view.

The available Researcher positions will strengthen our research on communication concepts for, e.g., mobile broadband, machine type communication, broadcast, device-to-device communication and shorter range communication solutions. It could also include standardization of the above mentioned areas. To qualify for the position technical competence is required and experience from the area is a plus. Interest in leadership and leadership experience are further qualifying, and since collaboration and interaction with other skilled researchers on a daily basis are the basis for our ways of working, team skills are a necessity.

For the available positions, we are looking for highly competent and driven researchers with competence and experience in signal processing, control theory, wireless communications, and communications hardware, such as antennas, power amplifiers, circuitry, and RF ASIC design. The positions require a M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree, or similar, preferably with demonstrated experience and knowledge in the above mentioned required skills. Skill in structured object oriented programming, preferably both C++ and Matlab based, is also required, as computer simulations will be natural parts of the work, in addition to analytical evaluations. Good knowledge in simulation and evaluation tool methodology is desirable. The work will be performed in different project setups, where the results are typically targeting technology strategy, standardization or product development.

At a personal level, you have good communication and teamwork skills. You should be fluent in written and spoken English. You should enjoy working with people having diverse backgrounds and competences. You should also have the ability to handle theoretical and practical research as well as the development aspects of the work. It is important that you have strong personal drive and a strong focus on the tasks at hand.
