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.

Debug and resolve complex hardware/software issues for manufacturing test stations. Lead commissioning and release-to-manufacturing of opto-electrical test stations, improve test uptime, provide documentation and support to contract manufacturers and vendors, coordinate equipment RFQs/RMAs, and use AI tools for data analysis.

The Hardware Execution Engineer designs and delivers hardware packages for automation projects, collaborating with teams to ensure quality and timely execution.

Lead design and testing of fault-tolerant hardware interfaces for traffic controllers and sensors. Develop lab and field test plans, debug communications with vendors, integrate monitoring/alerts with RapidView, and support on-device deployment automation to expand Surtrac deployments.

Pipeline hiring for hardware engineers at all experience levels. Work includes circuit board design, schematic capture, component selection and prototype bring-up, hardware debug/testing and failure analysis, integration with firmware/software teams, and design for manufacturability with production handoff.

Lead hardware development, integration, validation, and productization for Azure/GitHub edge systems. Own engineering deliverables, collaborate with ODMs and internal teams, drive testing, firmware integration, BOM/change control, and support root-cause analysis and corrective actions through product lifecycle.

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.

Lead hardware reliability testing and validation for automotive power and compute systems. Develop and run stress, environmental, and failure analyses; perform root-cause investigations; collaborate across electrical, firmware, mechanical, software, and manufacturing teams; report findings and corrective actions; drive reliability improvements and mentor engineers.

Support development and execution of system-level hardware integration and automated tests (firmware, software, electrical, mechanical). Develop/maintain test applications, assist compliance/EMI testing, troubleshoot PCBs, support DFMEA and manufacturability, create technical documentation, and collaborate with Production, Quality, and Purchasing teams.

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

Support development and execution of system-level integration and automated tests for electrical products. Develop/maintain Python, LabVIEW, and TestStand test applications, validate designs for regulatory compliance (UL/FCC/CE), troubleshoot electrical components, assist DFMEA and PCBA fixture development, collaborate with labs for EMI/EMC testing, and support manufacturability and documentation for production releases.

As a System Engineer, you'll design, deploy, and maintain cloud systems for AI workloads, troubleshoot complex issues, and collaborate with teams to optimize performance.

Design, test, and validate next-generation server hardware and components for performance, power, and reliability. Diagnose and resolve hardware issues across engineering and manufacturing, document results, and develop/maintain test scripts. Collaborate with internal teams and OEM/ODM partners to scale platforms for global deployment.
