We are seeking a talented Master's student to prototype and evaluate a massively distributed wireless system simulator. Current system simulations tend to contain the entire simulated system in a single machine which limits scalability. We would like to understand benefits and drawbacks of developing and running a massively parallel system simulator.
Develop a distributed wireless communications simulator prototype
Design and prototype a system for launching, monitoring and terminating the simulator components in a Kubernetes cluster
Evaluate key performance aspects of the simulator and the scalability aspects as a function of the simulated system size
Provide understanding of the trade-offs between running on a single machine and in a massive cluster
Document findings and prepare thesis with recommendations for further production
Collaborate with engineering team to ensure technical feasibility
Enrolled in or recently admitted to a Master's program in Computer Science, Electrical engineering or related field
Programming skills in Python
Solid technical writing and communication abilities
Problem-solving mindset with attention to detail
Experience with containerization platforms and related tools, e.g. Docker and Kubernetes
Wireless communication courses or experience
Simulation engineering skills or similar
Experience developing microservices for REST APIs
Mentorship from experienced engineers and a chance to work with large scale distributed systems.
The future of mobile isn’t on the horizon, it’s happening now. At Ericsson, we’re building the foundation for an open network ecosystem where industries, developers, and enterprises thrive.
The convergence of 5G, AI, cloud, and network APIs isn’t just a technological shift; it’s a transformation that is redefining industries and enhancing everyday life. Open, programmable networks are enabling real-time innovation and unlocking new business models across the globe.
Imagine a world where developers can dynamically access network capabilities on demand, where enterprises don’t just use connectivity but shape it. This isn’t a distant vision, it’s the ecosystem we’re creating today.
Collaboration fuels everything we do. By working across industries, we’re designing a future where connectivity isn’t just seamless. It’s intelligent, programmable, and transformative.
The shift is happening. Are you part of it?
