Ericsson AB; Stockholms kommun; On-site; SEK 240,000 - 320,000; Full time

Job summary

Ericsson’s Consumer & Industry Lab invites a master’s student to explore QoE measurement for AI/AR glasses in a research setting starting spring 2027. You will identify network features, propose how to measure QoE, and develop a feasibility report with user tests to document findings.

You’ll work with Unity/Unreal/OpenXR and AI tools, applying qualitative and quantitative methods while aligning with Ericsson’s values.

Qualifications

• Is analytical, curious, and open-minded.
• Is fluent in written and spoken English.
• Is a master’s student with strong academic performance.
• Has good knowledge of Unity, Unreal, OpenXR, Android XR, and AR/VR programming.
• Has experience developing applications for Meta Quest headsets or working with AR glasses; this is an advantage.
• Has experience working with leading AI services such as GPT and Claude, or other AI tools and devices; this is an advantage.
• Has practical experience with qualitative and quantitative research methods and data analysis.
• Has a strong interest in interdisciplinary research spanning both business and technology.
• Shares Ericsson’s core values of Professionalism, Perseverance, Respect, and Integrity.

Responsibilities

• Identify key network features, performance thresholds, and challenges in defining end-user Quality of Experience (QoE) for selected AI/AR glasses use cases.
• Consider whether biometric measurements could be relevant to the scope.
• Develop a feasibility report that answers the research question and proposes suitable ways to measure QoE for the selected use case(s).
• Conduct user tests to measure QoE and document the results in the final report.
