Junior FPGA/ASIC & Verification Engineer

The team you’ll part of

Our Business Group is a leader in wireless mobility networks and associated services. With more than 3.500 patent families essential for 5G we have a strong 5G portfolio and are a front runner in open and virtualized radio access networks (O-RAN and vRAN).

Our product, NOKIA Wavence, is developed completely in house in 4 sites (Greece, France, Italy, and USA) from lower (PCB design) to higher (User Interface) level.

FPGA team in Athens is currently the most numerous (in terms of headcount) on all 3 sites and it is mainly focusing on both RTL development (in VDHL) and Verification (UVM using System Verilog). In addition, the team is focusing :

• supporting legacy products (FPGA based) with introducing new features and fixing bugs.
• developing new products (both FPGA and ASIC based) from scratch.
