System On Chip Design & Validation Engineer
Nokia
The pandemic has highlighted how important telecoms networks are to society. Nokia’s Network Infrastructure group is at the heart of a revolution to bring more and faster network capacity to people worldwide through our ambition, innovation, and technical expertise.
The Fixed Networks Division is one of the key divisions in Nokia focusing on making Ultra Broadband Access possible for all users in the world. The fixed access product portfolio consists out of Fiber and Copper Access technology. In both domains the ASIC and FPGA System on Chips (SoC’s) are the heart of the system, making it possible for Nokia to have differentiating products at the right cost points.
Continuous innovation is required in the Broadband Networks and Broadband Digital Devices product lines with next generation PON technologies on our roadmap. SoC's play a crucial role in our strategy towards lower power, higher throughputs and lower costs.
To strengthen our global System-on-Chip (SoC) development team, we are looking for a talented engineer with a strong passion for SoC (ASIC & FPGA) and embedded software development. At the heart of our work is a commitment to innovation and impactful projects that contribute to improving everyday life around the world. We seek individuals who are enthusiastic about collaboration and thrive in a team of highly skilled, motivated professionals.
Nokia is a global leader in connectivity for the AI era. With expertise across fixed, mobile and transport networks, powered by the innovation of Nokia Bell Labs, we’re advancing connectivity to secure a brighter world.
