In Nokia's Network Infrastructure division, we "make" the internet. Every aspect of hardware & software that provides worldwide internet access across the globe is part of our portfolio. Here in Antwerp, our group is focusing on Fixed Broadband Access, more specifically Fiber-to-the-spot deployments : either homes, institutions, factories, data centers,... We create the electronics & SW solution to provide a fiber connection anywhere.

Our SW R&D group works on the core of the system: the actual switch/router capabilities that route internet traffic, provide quality-of-service, support different networking protocols. We work on all layers, from very embedded code on our own processor-architecture, all the way up to linux application development. Our dev & test engineers work with virtualization, on real hardware from a single "blade" to full deployments of an access network in our lab.

We are looking for talented dev engineers that like (embedded) C/C++ programming close to the hardware as well as all the way up to full SW application development. As well as people that like to play with the system aspects in a lab, understanding how networks work and how to break them.
