  • Collaborative mindset with a willingness to learn and improve

Nice-to-Have:
  • Prior lab or internship experience in telecom, networking, or cloud environments
  • Experience with automation frameworks (Ansible, Jenkins) or CI/CD job creation
  • Familiarity with Ericsson Packet Core or competing 5G Core solutions
  • Strategic thinking with ability to shift between big-picture and tactical details
  • Packet Core Integration Engineer - Take on more complex integration and troubleshooting across multiple nodes
