Join our Team 
 About us Ericsson is opening a state‑of‑the‑art R&D center in Yokohama focused on Radio and Software development. This new hub will support leading Japanese CSPs, partner with local vendors and deliver Japan‑driven products and solutions that shape networks worldwide. We are establishing and growing the team and building advanced laboratory and office facilities. As the tech firm that created the mobile world, and with more than 54,000 patents to our name, we’ve made it our business to make a mark. When joining our team at Ericsson you are empowered to learn, lead and perform at your best, shaping the future of technology. This is a place where you're welcomed as your own perfectly unique self, and celebrated for the skills, talent, and perspective you bring to the team. Are you in? About this opportunity 
 Board Power Radio works with research, development, and maintenance of board power solutions for the majority of Ericsson’s radio product portfolio, enabling world‑class 5G and future 6G networks. As part of Ericsson’s global design organization, board power design has become one of the most important and challenging areas within hardware, strongly influencing product size, thermal performance, and overall system architecture. We are now looking for a senior Board Power Designer to join our competent and collaborative team. In this role you will contribute to discrete board power solutions for Ericsson Radio projects and work closely with colleagues across global design centers to realize efficient, robust, and competitive radio products. You will 
 Take a key role in defining board power architectures for new and existing radio products, from early technology studies and pre‑development through realization and product validation Design and optimize high‑power DC/DC converters and point‑of‑load regulators, including selection of topologies, components, and control strategies to meet challenging efficiency, cost, and area targets Develop protection and supervision functions, EMI/EMC‑aware filtering, isolated converters, and magnetic components as fundamental parts of the power solution. Perform power system simulations and modeling – from converter level to board power distribution – to predict behavior, shorten development lead times, and secure robust designs Plan and execute board power verification from bring‑up through compliance readiness, using established verification instructions, checklists, and measurement methods, ensuring performance against defined budgets and real product conditions (EMC‑sensitive interfaces, system stress scenarios). Work hands‑on in the lab with state‑of‑the‑art instruments and techniques, from prototype bring‑up and debugging to characterization and long‑term reliability investigations Collaborate closely with system design, digital and RF design, mechanical and thermal design, as well as global production sites and other design centers to secure an end‑to‑end optimized solution Mentor and support other power designers, sharing your expertise and contributing to a strong and vibrant global power design community You will bring 
 BSc or MSc in Electrical Power Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent 5+ years of experience in board power / power electronics design for complex hardware products, covering both analog and digital power hardware Proven skills in high‑power DC/DC converter design; experience with AC/DC front‑end design is considered a strong merit Solid experience in schematic capture and PCB layout for power designs, using tools such as Cadence or Mentor Graphics (or equivalent EDA tools) Strong lab skills: comfortable working with oscilloscopes, power analyzers, network analyzers, and other equipment, including safe handling of high‑power setups and interpreting complex measurements Experience with power converter and power system simulation, including model creation,
