Zagreb, Croatia (Hybrid)
At Ericsson Nikola Tesla, we don’t just follow technology—we shape it. With nearly 3000 professionals, mostly from STEM fields, we’re a powerhouse of innovation built on over 75 years of experience. As the region’s leading R&D center and a leading exporter of software development services, we blend deep expertise with bold ideas—lighting the way toward a more connected, secure, and intelligent future.
Beyond our cutting-edge ICT solutions in the telecom sector, we’re also shaping the future in healthcare, transport, public services, and multimedia. Our innovative technologies make a real difference—enhancing everyday life and delivering meaningful value to communities. About 300 STEM students are currently contributing to our projects, gaining valuable experience—and most choose to continue their journey with us after graduation.
We are seeking students to join our team as 5G/6G Embedded Software Developers, contributing to the development of the Radio Unit—an essential component of the Ericsson Radio System.
This is a student job in the field of communication technologies for the fifth and sixth generation (5G/6G) radio access networks. The aim of the collaboration is to engage students in the company long-term, offering them the opportunity to develop their skills in this area.
The student engagement begins with a series of lectures and the completion of simple practical tasks under the mentorship of experienced engineers. Students then join development teams where they participate in ongoing Ericsson projects related to the development of 5G/6G embedded radio base systems. The intensity of their work in the team depends on their availability and academic obligations.
