Join our Team
At Ericsson Antenna System, everything starts with network performance. And at the heart of that performance is signal distribution.
Position Overview
We are now looking for a pragmatic, people‑first leader to head our Signal Distribution department within Product Design. This team develops the signal distribution sub‑functions that enable high‑performing mobile communication antennas—bringing together mechanical, RF, electronics, and software disciplines into one integrated engineering capability.
You will lead a team of 25+ engineers across offices and labs, partnering closely with technical leads and cross‑functional stakeholders. This is a first‑line leadership role with real impact: shaping how we develop, integrate and deliver the core technologies that power next‑generation networks.
The role is based in Rosenheim, Germany.
You will be responsible
Lead, coach and develop a multidisciplinary team of engineers, fostering collaboration across mechanical, RF, electronics and software disciplines.
Manage allocation of work and resources to meet program milestones, quality targets and delivery schedules.
Facilitate ongoing performance management through regular one‑on‑one meetings, strategic goal setting, constructive feedback, career development planning, and comprehensive performance reviews.
Coordinate with appointed technical leaders to align technical priorities, remove impediments and ensure consistent engineering practices.
Own hiring, onboarding, and retention activities for the team, including workforce planning and building bench strength where needed.
Ensure clear communication with stakeholders in Product Design, Project and Program Management, Systems and Operations; escalated risks and drive mitigation actions.
Promote and enforce safety, quality, compliance and documentation standards in labs and offices.
Drive continuous improvement in team processes (development workflows, design reviews, verification, cross‑functional handovers).
You will bring
Proven experience in people management (first‑line manager) of engineering teams; ability to lead multidisciplinary groups.
A Master’s or University degree in telecommunications, engineering, technology, or an equivalent qualification.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills; comfortable presenting to stakeholders and negotiating priorities with cross‑functional partners.
Background or experience specifically with antenna systems, signal distribution, RF front‑end components or related products.
Demonstrated ability to plan work, manage resources, and deliver complex technical projects on time and to specification.
Experience working with technical leads; able to balance people management with supporting technical decision‑making without duplicating technical leadership.
Problem‑solving mindset, ability to identify risks early and implement pragmatic mitigation measures.
Commitment to developing talent: coaching, mentoring and building inclusive team culture.
Solid understanding of engineering development processes relevant to RF/mechanical/electronic/software product development and integration is nice to have.
