Fiber Growth: Host Engineer

A flexible team of passionate developers working on real-time embedded software applications for broadband access products. 

We interact closely with our colleagues in Shanghai and have started contributing to the development of device virtualization that simulates and runs real world physical Nokia products on a cloud in a pure software based virtualized form. We work in an agile manner.

As a team we also possess a deep understanding of the end-to-end functionality of our products, as our deliverables are gating for other SW application teams. The team consists of a mix of Software development and test engineers.

Our goal is to bring our product innovations and evolutions to the market faster and at higher quality than the competition as part of a multi-disciplinary agile team of senior experts, supported by state-of-the-art development and test technologies, tools and processes.

Getting Started with Us

You’ll get ample opportunity to get acquainted with the organization, our way of working, and our products. During the training period, the team will support you with specific on-hands / on-the-job training. On top of that, you will have a wide variety of high-quality on-line training material at your disposal.  Additionally, we make time to support each other when facing a next challenge and to celebrate achievements.

You have:

• An engineering degree or a degree in Computer Science, Telecommunications, Electronics (or 5 years of relevant experience).
• Knowledge of real-time operating system concepts (interrupts, tasks, concurrency, etc.).
• Ability to work fluently with Unix/Linux as an operating system. in particular Basic understanding of Linux networking: L2 forwarding, L3 routing, packet format, Linux bridge, Terminal Access Point /Virtual Ethernet interfaces.
• A high-level understanding of the hardware and software architecture of embedded Linux systems (e.g., U-Boot, device tree, basic system buses like I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit), (Quad)Serial Peripheral Interface, PCIexpress, Linux kernel, drivers, etc.).

It would be nice if you also had:

• Knowledge of C/C++, Python, and Bash, Knowledge of virtualization and containers (e.g., Docker).
• Eagerness and agility to learn quickly and embrace daily challenges and "Out-of-the-box" thinking.
• Capability of working independently after the necessary training.
• Fluency in English.
• Familiarity with Golang/Rust and Kubernetes (K8S) is a plus.
  
  
  
   

As part of our team, you will:

• Acquire an overview of the broadband access products that Nokia offers and of the wide variety of hardware components present in our systems.
• Work on device virtualization that simulates and runs real-world physical Nokia products on a cloud in a pure software-based virtual platform.
• Collaborate with colleagues in Shanghai on the host framework development.
• Model new Hardware functionality in the host environment.
• Write test cases to validate the host simulation platform and automate them.
• Be accountable for the long-term quality of the software delivered.
