Digital Solutions Engineer

Join our Team

About the Opportunity

Ericsson Sourcing is seeking early-career engineers and digital builders who combine strong technical ability with business curiosity and people skills. These roles are being created to re-imagine how work in Sourcing should be done in an AI-first world; using technology to deliver tangible business and commercial value, not simply digitising today’s processes.

Embedded with Sourcing and related teams, you will work directly with colleagues to understand their workflows and uncover opportunities for meaningful change. This is not a traditional IT requirements role: you will challenge assumptions, shape the problem, and independently build and test solutions using code, AI, agents, automation and data. When an approach needs deeper integration or enterprise deployment, you will partner with Ericsson’s technology specialists to take it further.

We are recruiting for eight positions through one shared recruitment funnel, with placements across different teams and sourcing areas. These may include semiconductors, legal services, power generators and other categories. You do not need prior expertise in a specific category; you will learn the relevant business context in the role.

What you will do:

•    Build working solutions, develop and test AI-enabled assistants, agents, scripts, workflow automations, data tools and lightweight applications to address real Sourcing needs.
•    Work across the technical lifecycle. Explore the data and systems involved, prototype an approach, test its behaviour, and improve it based on results and user feedback.
•    Consider reliability, security, privacy, integration and maintainability. Recognise when a prototype needs further architecture or specialist engineering before wider use.
•    Understand the workflow and its pain points, challenge assumptions, and identify whether the process should change before deciding what to automate.
•    Explain technical possibilities clearly, translate needs into solution concepts, and collaborate with IT, architects, security and developers when required.
•    Assess whether a solution improves the work; for example, by reducing effort or cycle time, improving decisions, or lowering errors;and share approaches that can be reused.

What you bring

Technical capability

•    You can code and have personally built practical digital solutions. You can take an ambiguous problem through design, implementation and testing, explain how you improved your solution, and make progress without waiting for a detailed specification. Senior software engineering experience is not required.
•    You have hands-on experience experimenting with AI, agents, automation or AI-enabled applications, and the technical curiosity to keep building and learning.
•    You can work with data and understand, or are ready to develop your understanding of, APIs, integrations and the considerations involved in taking a prototype toward a production environment.
•    You approach technical work thoughtfully: test what you build, learn from failures, and involve security, architecture or engineering specialists when appropriate.
•    Python, JavaScript/TypeScript or equivalent technologies are relevant examples. The specific language, AI platform and cloud environment are flexible; demonstrated ability to build is what matters. Familiarity with Ericsson systems is not required.

Business and interpersonal capability: equally important

•    You are curious about how work operates and can get beneath an initial request to identify the real problem.
•    You can analyse an end-to-end workflow, challenge existing steps, and consider a better way of working before automating it.
•    You learn unfamiliar tools and business areas quickly, take initiative, and follow through to a usable outcome.
•    You enjoy working directly with users, build trust, challenge constructively, and develop solutions with the people who will use them.
•    You communicate clearly with both business colleagues and technical specialists, adapting your explanation to the audience.

What success looks like

Success is not simply launching more tools. It is when teams adopt better ways of working, processes become simpler and more effective, and solutions deliver measurable business and commercial value. This may include reduced effort, shorter cycle times, improved decisions, fewer errors or stronger supplier outcomes. Successful approaches should be reusable across Sourcing.

Why join

You will be embedded in the business and work close to the people and challenges your solutions are intended to address. Combining engineering, AI and data with Sourcing insight, you will take opportunities from discovery through prototype and, with the right partners, toward wider use. The aim is not to add tools for their own sake, but to help teams work differently and better, with measurable business and commercial impact.
