As a student in the hardware group, you’ll work with an experienced team that designs, builds, and maintains hardware solutions for Nokia's routing platforms. You’ll gain hands-on lab experience working alongside hardware developers on the latest prototype circuit boards. In addition to technical guidance, you’ll be paired with a 1-to-1 mentor—your go-to person for questions, feedback, insights into Nokia/team culture, and career conversations. This is an on-site position, and presence in the office is required.

As part of the team, you will:

• Verify and debug circuit designs using oscilloscopes and other test gear

• Test hardware under thermal and environmental conditions

• Complete the final assembly of new prototype units

• Qualify new circuit components

• Develop custom automation scripts (Perl, Python, TCL) to control test equipment
