The role requires expertise in server architectures, validation methodologies, Linux, Python, Bash, Redfish, IPMI, and industry standards including PCIe, NVMe, and DDR.

Design and develop wireless power transfer and energy-harvesting hardware for IoT and wearable devices. Apply power electronics, RF and electromagnetic theory to create ICs and circuits, integrate solutions into scalable systems, optimize energy efficiency, and drive sustainable innovation for large sensor networks.

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.

Designs and executes hardware test strategies for wireless power products. Develops test specs, fixtures, and software; performs component-level troubleshooting; validates product and fixture qualification; documents results and reports issues to stakeholders.

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.

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.

Provides technical leadership and customer support for Marvell switching, PHY, and processor SoC products. Architects hardware solutions, investigates and reproduces hardware and software issues, performs schematic reviews, debugs boot sequencing and customer-reported problems, and supports Linux BSPs, U-Boot, device drivers, and board designs. Serves as a liaison among customers, Avnet field applications engineers, and Marvell engineering teams, while delivering training and occasional customer-site support.

Validation-focused electronics test engineer responsible for writing test plans, system testing, automation testing and debugging (C#/Visual Studio), FMEA and bug lifecycle management. Perform hands-on hardware testing of I/O modules/packs using instruments (oscilloscope, function generator, DMM, voltage sources) and validate AC/DC up to specified voltages. Work in an Agile environment and execute end-to-end test projects with strong documentation.

Lead hardware board design from architecture through bring-up, validation, qualification and production readiness. Drive design specification, schematic capture, and test coordination. Collaborate with software, diagnostics, manufacturing, and test teams to resolve issues and ensure product readiness.

Lead SI/PI technical work for next-generation ASIC packaging: define design rules, run pre/post-layout SI/PI simulations, analyze substrate SI/PI, collaborate with layout and system teams, mentor engineers, and drive packaging design and validation for high-performance ASICs.

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