With the worldwide rollout of 5G and the advent of 6G systems networking industry faces the challenge of ever-increasing complexity and heterogeneity of networked systems in all technology domains. For efficiently and flexibly deploying, managing, maintaining, observing and operating these systems, the industry should move on from domain specific closed, rigid management platforms towards a flexible, distributed, extensible and autonomous network operations system. 

Your role in this position will be to research, develop, model and demonstrate architectures of model based, mathematically backed up and implementable proposals that disrupt current solutions in progressing towards autonomously running software and network systems. You will have to design and validate system concept that is distributed, secure, highly flexible, scalable, easy to integrate and operate; You should research algorithms for achieving these properties; You also define metrics to verify these properties. For achieving this You will have to apply advanced mathematical modeling and optimization methods (such as those listed below in the requirements); conduct analysis, simulations and implement proof-of-concept demonstrations.

You are an ideal candidate if

You have PhD degree or You are a PhD candidate in computer science, applied mathematics, electrical engineering, telecommunications, or similar fields; or You have MSc degree in any of these fields with minimum 5 years of relevant experience.  You have solid knowledge and experience with network architectures and technologies (such as 5G networks, IP networks, various access technologies); networking protocols; network orchestration and service management; relevant standards (from 3GPP, IETF, ETSI, TMF).  Having practical experience with open-source network simulators, emulators or network function implementations is a plus You are familiar with network management principles (FCAPS), performance analysis, system dimensioning, orchestration, assurance  You are interested in and have knowledge of machine learning and artificial intelligence; You have solid background in some of the relevant mathematics and engineering fields, e.g. control theory, systems theory, algorithms, graph theory, optimization methods, data science. Having experience and background in system security and/or quantum communications is an advantage. You are based in Hungary and You meet all employment conditions in Hungary
  Your work will be part of larger initiatives within Network Systems and Security Research laboratory, with a wide network of internal and external colleagues, contributing to multi-stakeholder projects. You will have to exert a highly innovative, proactive and initiative working attitude in defining the concrete research goals, executing tasks and disseminating results to internal and external audiences.  You will interact and collaborate with Nokia business groups and with other research groups within Nokia You will have to contribute to Nokia IPR creation  It is required to contribute to international publications, whitepapers and wider ecosystem engagements.
