Senior Optical Module Test Engineer
Nokia
Join our team as we continue to expand our product portfolio into the Data Center and Communications Service Providers. The IP Routing Hardware organization is very flat - there are few levels of management between the Individual Contributor and the VP of Hardware. We are also very lean - each engineer spends more time doing engineering work and less time on overhead. As a result, your work has high visibility, and your decisions directly impact the product we ship.
As an Optical Module Test Engineer in the IP Routing Hardware group, you will be responsible for: the optical and electrical qualification of new optical modules; the integration of optical modules into the product line; the resolution of customer issues. This position requires a self-starter who works well in a hardware lab environment and can operate the latest measurement equipment. You will drive new product introduction by executing tests, analyzing results, and making recommendations.
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.
