A range of experience is needed for numerous openings: including new graduates through industry veterans will be considered for various roles up to and including leadership.


We are leveraging advanced Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) to meet the exploding demand for high-speed communication infrastructure. With proven leadership and cutting-edge technology, Nokia is defining the next generation of connectivity solutions. The Optical Module Group within Nokia ON group is seeking talented engineers to develop PIC characterization for both coherent and direct-detection ultra-high-bandwidth data communication systems. In this role, you will:

    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including component design, optical architecture, module development, transmission systems, and SiGe ASIC design.

    • Drive the development and implementation of high-speed PIC characterization methodologies for next-generation InP-based PICs.

This is a fast-paced environment where innovation and teamwork are key. Be part of a team that is setting new standards in optical technology!



We engineer Photonic Integrated Circuits endtoend—design, development, and rigorous testing—inside a truly vertically integrated model. You’ll work directly with Nokia’s system and application teams and engage with customers to turn requirements into breakthrough products. Partnering closely with internal manufacturing and leveraging our own fabs, we translate cuttingedge photonics into productiongrade optical modules that power the next generation of optical networks and interconnects of AI applications.

We are looking for an individual with a strong background in optoelectronic device characterization:

  • Strong fundamental understanding of active and passive semiconductor optical devices, particularly waveguide-based devices
