Drive high-level and low-level solution designs including capacity dimensioning, resiliency, availability and observability
Support use-case-driven designs for hosting VNFs and CNFs - including 5G Core, IMS, Packet Core and Cloud RAN - on Ericsson cloud infrastructure
Review and approve key design artefacts (HLDs, LLDs, configuration templates, MoPs) to ensure consistency and compliance with agreed architecture
Support troubleshooting and complex problem resolution during build, test and acceptance phases
Champion automation, infrastructure-as-code and standardized O&M models for lifecycle management
Proactively identify risks, assumptions and dependencies, and contribute to mitigation plans across bids and projects
Act as subject matter expert for Ericsson SDI, CEE, CCD and CNIS, mentoring solution architects and integration engineers
Engage with product units and portfolio teams to provide field feedback and contribute to feature evolution
What You Bring

Proven track record designing and delivering large-scale telco cloud or NFVI/CNIS-based solutions in live operator environments
Hands-on experience with Ericsson SDI, CCD, CEE and CNIS, or a strong background in equivalent telco cloud stacks with readiness to ramp up quickly
Deep knowledge of IP networking, DC network design, storage solutions (e.g. Ceph, NetApp, VxSDS) and Kubernetes-based CNF hosting
Familiarity with NFV MANO and orchestration tools such as EO/EVNFM or equivalent
