The Ethernet and Optics Platform team is responsible for qualifying components and related features of the leading edge data centre, enterprise and CSP family of products. We are required to design, develop, automate and execute sophisticated tests to verify the conformance of features and their functionality implemented by Engineering against requirements specifications laid out by Product Management. We are responsible for driving the features to completion and will therefore have to interact extensively with Software, Hardware, Firmware and Product Management teams. Our team is the reason why Nokia has a reputation for quality.
