Master Thesis: Agentic AI for Secure and Reliable Telecom Operations

Technology, Data & Digital · Software & Web Development · Software Engineering · Artificial Intelligence · Data Science

In short

This Master Thesis project at Ericsson Innovation Center EMEA in Stockholm, Sweden, focuses on agentic AI for secure and reliable telecom operations. Students will compare different agent patterns and build an evaluation environment for a representative telecom operations problem, contributing to both academic research and future innovation.

Responsibilities

  • Define a benchmark for troubleshooting, configuration recommendation, incident triage, capacity optimization, or another network task.
  • Compare deterministic automation, language-model agents, multi-agent designs, and hybrid architectures.
  • Investigate how mathematical models, constraints, planning, or optimization can improve agent reliability.
  • Design security controls for prompt injection, tool misuse, privilege escalation, data leakage, unsafe plans, and cascading failures.
  • Evaluate task success, correctness, constraint violations, safety, latency, cost, explainability, reproducibility, and recovery behavior.
  • Study human-in-the-loop approval, policy enforcement, auditability, rollback, and observability.
  • Investigate what is required to scale an agent from an innovation prototype to a production-like service.
  • Categorize failures and translate the results into practical architecture and adoption recommendations.

Requirements

  • Knowledge in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
  • Programming experience in Python, Java, Scala, TypeScript, or a similar language.
  • Interest in generative AI, agentic systems, optimization, cybersecurity, distributed systems, or telecom networks.
  • Interest in designing experiments and analyzing quantitative results.
  • Eagerness to learn, challenge assumptions, and communicate findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with APIs, containers, evaluation frameworks, or cloud-native development is beneficial.

Benefits

  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge agentic AI for telecom operations.
  • Produce both an academic contribution and a tangible evaluation environment.
  • Guide future innovation work.
