Master Senior System Verification Engineer

About the role

Ericsson's RAN System Verification team in Bangalore, Karnataka, India seeks a Master / Senior System Verification Engineer to verify, troubleshoot, and deliver 5G New Radio (NR) solutions on high-performance General Purpose Processors. Day-to-day work includes providing technical leadership for end-to-end system verification of 5G features, analyzing system performance using logs, traces, and KPIs, leading cross-layer investigations across PHY/MAC/RLC/PDCP/IP, performing capacity and performance verification under high-load traffic scenarios, establishing verification methodologies, mentoring engineers, driving CI/CD and AI-assisted verification improvements, and leading customer trials and field issue reproduction. The role requires 8-12+ years of hands-on experience and a Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.

What you’ll do

• Provide technical leadership for end-to-end system verification of 5G features, shaping verification priorities from feature readiness to release in alignment with business strategy and customer outco
• Act as a technical specialist in system performance analysis using logs, traces, and KPIs such as throughput, latency, resource utilization, and QoS/QoE indicators to identify systemic bottlenecks and
• Lead complex, cross-layer investigations across PHY, MAC, RLC, PDCP, and IP, applying advanced root-cause analysis to resolve complex performance and capacity issues
• Perform requirement analysis for feature integration and verification to ensure alignment with customer expectations and network performance objectives
• Perform capacity and performance verification of RAN systems under high-load traffic scenarios comprising Max supported UEs per cell/DU, throughput (DL/UL), control plane capacity and mobility under l
• Establish verification methodologies and quality standards that represent live network scenarios and provide coverage for performance, capacity, Stability and customer experience
• Provide technical direction, coaching, and mentorship to verification engineers and contribute to the development of organizational competence in modern (AI) system verification practices
• Drive continuous improvement of products, verification frameworks, test coverage, automation, CI/CD pipelines, and AI-assisted verification practices, improving efficiency, quality, and time to market

What you’ll bring

• Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience
