Family Description

Applied R&D (AR) consists of target-oriented research either with the goal of solving a particular problem / answering a specific question or for multi-discipline design, development, and implementation of hardware, software, and systems including maintenance support. Supplies techno-economic consulting to clients. AR work is characterised by its detailed and complex nature in order to systematically combine existing knowledge and practices to further developing and incrementally improving products, operational processes, and customer-specific feature development.

Subfamily Description

Software (SWA) comprises the definition, specification, and allocation of requirements from different sources utilising knowledge of systems engineering processes (specification & architecture). Contains processing of use case and feature requirements into conceptual models, operational scenarios, technical requirements, and functional description. Covers specification, design, implementation, and unit testing of Software (e.g. device drivers, microcode, hardware-related software & firmware) according to the requirements and architecture defined in the systems engineering process. Covers establishment and maintenance of Software Configuration Management (SCM) practices into software development projects, continuously building and integrating infrastructure tools and systems.

Your skills and experience
•    Minimum: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Telecommunications, Software Engineering or equivalent experience.
•    Broad interest in the Telecom sector and conceptual knowledge of networks and considerable experience in Software Development.
•    Proven ability to work with others to meet common objectives and customer expectations.
•    Excellence in: Planning, communication, negotiation, conflict resolution and problem solving.
•    Process focused. Passion to explore and work on the new technologies
•    Can identify improvement opportunities and implement necessary changes.
•    Excellent written and oral communication, being able to work in multi-national and multi-site environment.

Technical skills & preferred qualifications
•    Strong Networking knowledge and networking protocols, knowledge of Ethernet, L2/L3, TCP/UDP/TLS. PON or DSL knowledge will be a plus. Netconf/Yang knowledge is not mandatory, but an asset.
•    Experience in test design, test bed preparation/setup, test execution & reporting.
•    Good working knowledge of software testing (functional, regression and/or non-functional testing).
•    Automation with Robot/Python/Java desirable along with good debugging skills.
•    Any hands on experience in any of the traffic generators will be a plus.
•    Mercurial (or git) SCM & build development.
•    Linux OS and its deployment in virtual environments. Docker is an asset for host simulation.
•    Familiar with CI/CD (continuous integration/delivery), Release automation (Jenkins, etc), system administration, system configuration, and system debugging experience
 

Excited about cutting-edge technologies like Microservices, Kubernetes, Cloud Technologies, Elastic search, AngularJS, Virtualization, SDN/NFV, etc?
Our Research and Development team has been growing steadily and to reinforce it further we are looking for a strong technical professional to work on Altiplano, Nokia’s cloud native Fixed Access Domain Controller.
Altiplano virtualizes the management and network functions from the network elements to operators cloud and further improves network operations efficiency by abstracting and automating the underlying multivendor, multi-technology Fixed Access networks.

The responsibilities include:
•    Manual Testing & Quality focus
•    Automation
•    Initiate and contribute towards testing improvements and initiatives
•    Responsible for product deliverables with quality
•    Establish and maintain strong working relationships with Architect, Development and Test teams to foster a team environment
We are looking for a passionate engineer who can be trusted to deliver high quality products and can challenge the status quo. We expect candidate to have a broad interest in the software engineering field and help us to continuously explore new technologies to enhance the product and processes.
