Monitor production data, troubleshoot test stations, perform GRR, support failure analysis, create technical documentation, transition R&D test stations to high-volume manufacturing, and collaborate with hardware, software, firmware, optical development teams and manufacturing partners.

Lead the bring-up and qualification of a new InP photonics semiconductor fabrication facility. Develop and optimize etch, deposition, lithography, diffusion, metallization, and other process modules. Drive yield and reliability improvements through SPC, inline metrology, root-cause analysis, DOE, and corrective actions. Collaborate with design, test, packaging, and manufacturing teams, while documenting processes and transferring technology from R&D to production.

Supports development of coherent optical subsystem test sets, mechanical hardware solutions, test-hardware configuration, and automated manufacturing test infrastructure. The intern will collaborate on complex mechanical systems, apply mechanics and materials fundamentals, and use AI tools to improve team productivity. The role also involves analytical problem-solving, independent thinking, and potential use of Azure DevOps.

Develops data visualization, analytics, machine learning, and automation solutions for coherent optical product manufacturing. Mines wafer-to-module datasets to identify yield drivers, failure signatures, anomalies, correlations, and process drift. Builds and evaluates ML algorithms for yield prediction and root-cause analysis, performs statistical analysis, and automates engineering workflows using GenAI. Collaborates with R&D, manufacturing, and AI/ML teams to optimize product performance and communicate findings to technical audiences.

Provides advanced administration and technical leadership for Solaris/SPARC infrastructure, NetApp SAN/NAS storage, NetBackup, tape libraries, monitoring, access controls, and migration dependencies. The role handles complex troubleshooting, recovery, incident response, lifecycle upgrades, automation, compliance, chain-of-custody controls, and data-center transitions. It serves as the senior escalation point, leads resilience and remediation initiatives, maintains operational documentation, and mentors other administrators while participating in on-call and production support.

Lead technical program management for photonic integrated circuit products used in coherent and data center communications. Responsibilities include product lifecycle and milestone reviews, prototype planning, schedules, budgets, metrics, purchasing support, issue escalation, and cross-functional coordination across hardware, software, testing, architecture, and operations teams.

Lead end-to-end hardware development for next-generation communication modules, including schematics, PCB layouts, component libraries, prototypes, test fixtures, validation, compliance testing, and in-lab or field debugging. Collaborate with firmware, systems, and mechanical engineers, maintain design documentation and databases, lead design reviews, support field-failure investigations, mentor junior engineers, and improve design processes and tooling.

Leads end-to-end ASIC development programs from architecture through tapeout, silicon production, validation, and qualification. Manages schedules, milestones, risks, dependencies, resources, cross-functional engineering teams, vendors, and executive communications. Drives issue resolution, operational cadence, process improvements, hiring prioritization, and predictable execution across ASIC, hardware, software, SDK, foundry, packaging, and operations organizations.

Maintain and configure network infrastructure, Nokia optical hardware, automation applications, servers, storage, and file systems. Script deployments, troubleshoot networks, test containerized optical network simulations and embedded software, and manage symmetric key lifecycles. The role also develops infrastructure solutions and contributes to new products, standards, processes, and operational plans.

Launches and supports Nokia Wavence microwave radio products across North America. Responsibilities include homologation and qualification testing, RF and system measurements, laboratory validation, troubleshooting complex microwave networks, resolving field and customer issues, supporting integration teams, preparing technical reports, and ensuring regulatory and quality compliance.

Provides high-level administrative and operational support to the VP of Manufacturing Operations. Responsibilities include complex calendar management, meeting coordination, domestic and international travel arrangements, executive communications, confidential information handling, stakeholder coordination, onsite events and leadership visits, expense processing, follow-through on priorities, and process improvement. The role is primarily onsite in San Jose with occasional support at the Sunnyvale facility.

Lead Wi-Fi standardization research and delegation activities for Nokia, developing novel concepts for future Wi-Fi generations and promoting them through IEEE 802.11 and the Wi-Fi Alliance. Collaborate with industry partners, develop standards contributions, present technical ideas, and contribute to Wi-Fi link and system simulation platforms. Apply academic or standards experience, including AI/ML expertise in PHY and MAC layers, to advance wireless technologies.

Lead 6G physical-layer research and standardization covering MIMO, initial access, RF performance, AI-native PHY, Layer 1 control, and coexistence. Develop and validate radio concepts through link-level and system-level simulations, create intellectual property, define AI-enabled PHY evaluation methods, and represent Nokia in 3GPP and research forums. Shape long-term 6G technology strategy while collaborating with RAN, RF, regulatory, and systems teams.

Leads quality assurance initiatives as a hands-on senior test automation engineer and functional manager. Develops test strategies covering end-to-end automation, scale, soak, regression, and chaos testing. Uses device simulators, hardware devices, and traffic generators to validate distributed-system resilience and stability. Collaborates across engineering teams, analyzes test results, mentors team members, and drives continuous improvement in testing processes and quality practices.

Provides first-line FAB and IT support in a manufacturing environment. Responsibilities include triaging tickets, maintaining backups, configuring operator workstations, installing software and printers, troubleshooting connectivity, tool data, monitors, alarms, and virtual machines, and managing software licenses. Collaborates with FAB Operations and provides rotational off-hours support. Preferred skills include Jenkins, MES, .NET, Java/Tomcat environments, scripting, and SPC chart creation.

Develop and maintain semiconductor equipment automation and MES integrations using SECS/GEM, SEMI standards, Ignition, Python, REST APIs, and databases. Design equipment-to-host interfaces, station controllers, finite-state workflows, data collection, tags, and web or desktop applications. Validate MES processes, support SPC software, debug and host applications, and work with hardware and semiconductor manufacturing systems. The role also requires strong analytical, communication, leadership, project management, and application ownership skills.

Lead a mechanical development team designing opto-electronic packages and modules. Manage project plans, cross-disciplinary coordination, technical reviews (FMEAs, FEA), DFM with suppliers, resource planning, status reporting, and drive product quality, reliability, and innovation for high-speed communications.
