Lead design and optimization of optical film stacks for automotive LCD modules. Specify/select films (DBEF, BEF, diffusers, prisms, polarizers), run ray-trace simulations, analyze optical measurements, validate film durability, resolve optical artifacts, and collaborate with suppliers and cross-functional teams to meet automotive performance standards.

This role involves developing and executing hardware testing plans and procedures, analyzing test results, and maintaining test equipment for validation in the automotive sector.

Lead design, development, validation, and release of vehicle thermal management components and subsystems. Manage supplier relationships, define interface requirements, perform analytical validation (FEA/CFD/modal), coordinate cross-functional activities, resolve production issues, and drive continuous improvement to meet performance, cost, manufacturability, and quality targets.

Design and verify complex automotive electronic systems from concept through production. Lead and contribute to board‑level schematic and component selection, run circuit simulations and worst‑case analyses, develop DFMEA and test fixtures, perform verification testing, resolve production quality issues, and produce engineering documentation.

Lead identification, analysis, and resolution of mechatronic hardware and embedded control system field issues. Analyze DTCs, warranty and plant data, drive containment and corrective actions, forecast quality/warranty performance, coordinate global QRD alignment, support escalations and read-across initiatives, and balance quality improvements with cost and warranty impact.

The Connectivity Hardware Design Release Engineer will manage sourcing, integration, and compliance of telematics modules, collaborating with teams to ensure performance and production readiness.

Lead standardization strategy for optical transport and Ethernet technologies, develop and advocate contributions to standards bodies (ITU‑T, IEEE, OIF, OpenROADM), coordinate with PLMs and R&D, report progress internally, provide technical influence and guidance, and represent Nokia at standards meetings and industry events.

Design, develop, and validate electronic hardware for automotive control modules. Responsibilities include schematic design, circuit and thermal analysis, PCB layout oversight, BOM selection, supplier interfacing, prototype and production support, EMC testing, customer liaison, and documentation for software-hardware integration.

The Design Release Engineer focuses on automotive component development, especially battery systems, and leads quality improvement efforts. Responsibilities include managing supplier relationships and ensuring product quality and compliance with technical requirements.

The role involves optimizing hardware support within a software stack for AI model deployment, collaborating with teams and hardware vendors to enhance performance and portability across platforms.

Responsible for full system engineering execution of the Harvester gasoline Range Extender system, ensuring project milestones are met and leading cross-functional innovation efforts.

Lead mechanical design and development of ECU hardware: define architecture, CAD models and BOMs; optimize size, weight, durability and cost; drive DFMEA/DFMA/WCA, thermal management and EMI/EMC considerations; lead design reviews, validation plans, troubleshooting and cross-functional execution.

Design, build, and operate reliable backend systems while mentoring engineers, participating in design discussions, and improving system performance.

As a Senior Hardware Engineer, you'll drive DPU integration into server platforms, execute validation testing, and develop automation for data analysis while collaborating with cross-functional teams and vendors.

Lead on-site technical authority for datacenter hardware reliability and fleet health. Troubleshoot complex hardware failures, drive root cause analysis and corrective actions, coordinate with vendors and cloud providers, establish maintenance standards and runbooks, support new hardware introductions and spare parts strategy, mentor technicians, and analyze failure trends to improve reliability across large-scale GPU and server deployments.
