Data Scientist II Job at Ericsson (Santa Clara)

Job Description

AIII (AI Innovation & Incubation) Silicon Valley is a team of applied research scientists using AI and foundation models (LLMs, LVMs) to solve real problems across all layers of the cellular network. We turn ideas into PoCs, MVPs, and production solutions used by Ericsson's Business Areas and Market Areas worldwide. As a Data Scientist you will work with the team to explore AI‑RAN and RAN‑for‑AI opportunities, build and train advanced models, and see your work move from experiment to real‑world impact in the telecom network.

Job Responsibility

Design, train, and evaluate deep neural networks, including LLMs and other foundation models, for telco‑relevant use cases
Prototype AI agents and solution pipelines that use LLMs/LVMs and modern ML techniques to improve network performance and operations
Translate research into code by reading top‑tier conference papers (e.g., CVPR, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR) and reproducing key ideas in experiments
Run experiments on cloud platforms (e.g., GCP, AWS, Azure) or on-prem GPU clusters as part of scalable training and evaluation workflows
Collaborate with applied researchers, engineers, and domain experts to turn PoCs into solutions that can be productized
Stay current with the fast‑moving AI landscape, evaluating new methods and tools and suggesting how we can apply them in our work

Requirements

MS in Computer Science or a closely related field with strong foundations in machine learning
1–4 years of experience (industry and/or research) working with deep neural networks, ideally including large‑scale or LLM‑based models
Strong Python programming skills and experience with modern ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, JAX)
Proven ability to read and understand research papers and implement or reproduce the described methods
Experience working with at least one cloud platform (GCP, AWS, or Azure)
Comfort working in a rapidly changing AI environment, handling uncertainty, and continuously upskilling
Clear communication and collaborative mindset in a professional team setting

Nice to have

Publications in relevant conferences or journals (e.g., CVPR, NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML)
Open‑source contributions related to ML, vision, NLP, systems, or tooling
Experience in an applied research or product team, especially on projects that moved from PoC to production
Familiarity with telecom, wireless networks, or RAN concepts, or strong motivation to learn these domains
