Who are we? - Ericsson TV
We have been successfully pioneering digital television for 20 years. That’s before most people knew television could be digital. We create commercial success through technical innovation and a clear insight into what our customers need.
Our compression engineering design team is led from the UK, and whilst the screen you’re watching won’t bear our name, be it a phone, tablet, PC or conventional TV, the pictures were very likely processed by our professional broadcast equipment on their way to you.
Reports to: Lead Engineer for all personnel issues and technical issues for projects run within the section. Project Managers for departmental project related issues.
Job Purpose:
This role consists of developing the core audio or video compression used within Ericsson’s hardware-based encoders for the broadcast TV market. It is suitable for engineers with a proven track record of writing embedded software on complex real time systems, preferably in a field relating to Audio or Video manipulation or other high data rate applications.
