Job description

This role is a Site Engineering position within Nokia's Product Validation & Test (PV&T) R&D organization, where you will operate as a full member of the PV&T engineering team. Your primary purpose is to serve as PV&T's direct presence and working arm at manufacturing sites, focusing on Test Station Development (TSD). You will be actively involved on the factory floor, responsible for the setup, debugging, and continuous improvement of test stations. A key aspect of the role is driving the implementation of R&D-developed hardware, software, fixture, and procedural changes directly into manufacturing operations. This is distinctly an R&D engineering role situated within the production environment, not a CM test technician, supply chain, operations, or pure program management function. The position specifically covers TSD for either coherent pluggable and/or TROSA stations, requiring deep expertise in at least one of these station families.

NILightpath

• Bachelor’s or master’s in engineering, Physics, or a related field (equivalent industry experience considered).
• Typically, 3+ years developing test stations or automated test equipment (ATE) in optical and/or electrical test.
• Working knowledge of optical measurement principles and how test hardware/software produces results.
• Comfort working in a manufacturing environment and willingness to travel regularly to Nokia/CM sites in Thailand and Malaysia.
• Ability to work effectively across hardware, software, and manufacturing teams to resolve issues.
• Coherent pluggable / PIC test-station or ATE development, OR TROSA / photonic-assembly test-station or ATE development.
• Electrical design, simulation, or schematic/layout support for test hardware; fixture, thermal, or PCB work, including RF and low-frequency analog/digital signals.
• Source control and software-driven test infrastructure (e.g., Git, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket), with Continuous Integration (CI) for hardware test being a plus.
• Production data analysis, Statistical Process Control (SPC), or yield/debug of station-limited failures.
• Mentoring junior engineers or leading a station bring-up across multiple teams.
