5G RAN System Engineer / Baseband System Developer · Techla Group AB

TECHLA is a Gothenburg-based consulting company working with modern product development across software, embedded systems, cloud and DevOps.

We started TECHLA with a simple idea: to build the kind of consulting company we would want to work for ourselves. We want to build long-term relationships, work with great people and create an environment where both our consultants and our clients can thrive.

We believe in transparency, trust and giving people the freedom and responsibility to grow. Our consultants should feel that they are part of something, have a real influence and are rewarded for the value they create.

At TECHLA, technology matters – but people matter even more. We believe the best results come from skilled people who take ownership, work closely together and genuinely care about what they deliver.

We are big enough to deliver, but small enough to care.

TECHLA is now looking for an experienced system profile within 5G RAN/Baseband for an exciting consulting assignment in Gothenburg. This role is a great fit for someone with a strong technical interest in radio systems, communication theory, signal processing and the development of functionality in modern mobile networks.

About the role

In this role, you will work with system development within 5G RAN, focusing on developing, analyzing and improving the performance of baseband-related functionality. The work may include areas such as radio resource management, scheduling, link adaptation, time-critical communication, antenna control and optimization of 5G network performance.

You will work closely with development, design and test teams and be involved throughout the development chain, from early ideas, analysis and specification to implementation, verification and deployment of new features.

Examples of responsibilities:

Design and specification of algorithms within RAN/Baseband

Systemization and requirements breakdown for new base station features

Analysis and optimization of 5G network performance

Work related to radio resources, scheduling, link adaptation and antenna control

Support to design and test teams throughout the development process

Analysis of fault reports and technical issues on system level

Contribute to the development of new features from early concept to customer-facing product environments

We believe you have

Experience from 5G RAN, Baseband or similar telecom systems

Good understanding of 3GPP-based communication systems, such as 3G, 4G/LTE and 5G NR

Experience from the lower layers of the protocol stack, such as L1/L2, PHY or MAC

Knowledge within communication theory, signal processing or radio algorithms

Experience from system work, algorithm design, technical analysis or performance optimization

The ability to understand complex technical problems and drive them forward

Good English skills, both spoken and written

It is meritorious if you have

Previous experience from Ericsson, Combitech or another RAN/Baseband-related environment

Experience with scheduling, link adaptation, RRM, MIMO, beamforming or antenna control

Experience with Python, C, MATLAB or similar tools for analysis, simulation or performance evaluation

A Master of Science or Ph.D. within Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Computer Science, Telecom, Communication Technology or a similar field

Experience using AI tools in technical development work

Swedish language skills

The mindset we’re looking for

For us, being a great engineer is about more than technical skills.

We’re looking for people with a strong consulting mindset – people who understand that great consulting is about creating real value, taking ownership and being someone both the team and the client can rely on.

You’re highly skilled at what you do, but you’re also a doer who cares about quality. You don’t wait for someone else to solve the problem. You take initiative, move things forward and care about delivering work you can genuinely be proud of.

At the same time, you genuinely enjoy working with others. You communicate openly, share knowledge, contribute to a positive team dynamic and believe that the best results are created together.

You take responsibility for the bigger picture, stay solution-oriented and aren’t afraid to go the extra mile when it makes a difference. At the same time, you’re humble, genuine and enjoy working with people who challenge and support each other.

In short, we’re looking for engineers who want to go beyond – technically, professionally and as part of a team.

We’re open to both employment and freelance/subcontractor setups – so whether you’re looking to join TECHLA or take on your next assignment as an independent consultant, we’d love to hear from you.
