About this Opportunity
We are excited to present a dynamic opportunity for a Solution Architect – Inventory to join our Core Commerce & Orchestration unit in MEA.
At Ericsson, we are driving the evolution towards autonomous, programmable networks, enabling Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to build a single, trusted source of truth for their network and service data — the foundation for orchestration, assurance, and automation at scale.
This role is focused on working in both Pre-Sales and Delivery, designing and delivering end-to-end inventory solutions, leveraging Ericsson Adaptive Inventory (EAI) as the core engine — enabling unified network and service inventory across physical, logical, and virtual domains.
The architect will play a key role in shaping solutions that enable:
-
Unified network inventory across multi-vendor, multi-technology environments
-
Service and resource lifecycle management aligned with TM Forum standards
-
Foundation layer for orchestration, closed-loop automation, and network assurance
-
OSS transformation programs driven by a catalog-driven, API-first inventory architecture
What You Will Do
- Lead value-based solution positioning and proposal development to secure strategic OSS transformation programs and ensure deliverability
-
Act as design authority for major transformation engagements, ensuring inventory solutions align with customer needs and Ericsson's architectural principles
-
Own the technical architecture end-to-end: define, scope, and drive design solutions across the Inventory domain, with major focus on EAI. Design end-to-end inventory solutions for:
-
Physical, logical, and virtual network resource inventory
-
Service inventory aligned with catalog-driven architectures (service/resource modeling)
-
Multi-domain topology and connectivity management (RAN, Core, Transport, Cloud)
-
Integration with orchestration (ESOA), assurance, and mediation layers
-
Lead data migration and data cleansing strategies as part of inventory transformation engagements, ensuring quality, completeness, and consistency of inventory data onboarded from legacy OSS systems
-
Contribute to reusable assets (inventory models, integration blueprints, migration patterns) and support standardization and industrialization of delivery approaches to enable faster delivery through reuse and best practices
-
Share knowledge, contribute to internal communities, and foster a culture of re-use and continuous learning
You Will Bring
Must-Haves:
-
10+ years in telecom/OSS domain
-
HLD/LLD design & customer-facing experience
-
Hands-on experience with network inventory platforms (EAI)
-
Deep understanding of network and service resource modeling (physical, logical, virtual layers)
-
Experience with data migration from legacy OSS/inventory systems, including data cleansing, reconciliation, and onboarding strategies
-
Familiarity with TM Forum Open APIs for inventory (TMF639, TMF640, TMF642, TMF648)
-
Good understanding of orchestration (SOM/COM concepts), Order Management, and Assurance integration touchpoints
-
Knowledge of multi-technology network domains: RAN, Core, Transport, Cloud/NFV
Can Be Learned on the Job:
-
Ericsson-specific tooling & internal processes
-
Deep EAI product-specific configuration and administration
-
AIOps and closed-loop automation integration specifics
