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, deploy, maintain, and secure hybrid on‑prem and cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP); manage virtualization, containers, storage, backups, automation, monitoring, and NSA compliance; provide end‑user support and incident response; perform Data Center Manager duties.

Develop and implement test plans for coherent pluggable products using PICs; analyze optical transceiver performance; define testability requirements; validate test platforms; coordinate changes into manufacturing; support fault isolation; and drive test-yield and cycle-time improvements through cross-functional collaboration.

Lead end-to-end electrical design of high-density analog and digital circuits for optical sub-assemblies. Convert requirements into schematics, coordinate PCB layout, integrate with mechanical/software teams, manage supply chain/prototypes, mentor junior engineers, and participate in program and release management.

Lead silicon bring-up, validation, and production testing for analog front-end (AFE) development, characterizing high-speed DACs, ADCs, and RF interface. Requires collaboration with cross-functional teams and automated measurement systems using Python.

This role involves leading optical test engineering projects, developing test protocols, mentoring engineers, and ensuring compliance in testing systems. You will work on system-level test station development and integrate new technologies for quality improvement and scalability.

Lead Nokia's Wi‑Fi standardization efforts by defining research agenda, developing Wi‑Fi 9 innovations, drafting and presenting contributions in IEEE 802.11 and Wi‑Fi Alliance, representing Nokia in delegations, collaborating with industry partners, and contributing to link and system simulation platforms.

Define and lead a Wi‑Fi research agenda, develop innovations and simulation tools, draft and present contributions at IEEE 802.11 and Wi‑Fi Alliance, and collaborate with industry partners as a delegation member to shape next‑generation Wi‑Fi.

Design, model, and test high-speed electrical interconnects for optoelectronic modules. Collaborate with PIC, ASIC, TROSA, and module teams to define requirements, design RF structures, develop test vehicles, coordinate fabrication with vendors, and perform high-speed measurements and data analysis to advance next-generation optical module products.

Develop and maintain web and desktop applications using .NET technologies. Requires strong programming skills, experience with databases, and project management.
