Research is under strong development and takes place in close collaboration with international, national, and regional actors in both academia and industry. Among other things, we collaborate with external partners to run a measurement platform for 5G/Starlink and are building a test environment for future flexible and programmable communication networks (6G). Therefore, we need you who have good knowledge of both hardware and software and are interested in working with technology at the forefront of research.

Job duties

The job duties consist of technical development, support, and assistance in building and maintaining test beds, developing software, and providing support for data analysis and measurements, as well as participating in the daily work of operating, maintaining, and developing the IT environment within computer science. The work is carried out independently but in collaboration with a local support group. The employment also includes collaboration with other parts of the university and the surrounding society, and it is therefore important that those who may be eligible for the position have good skills in cooperating with other groups.
