Systems Architect – Coherent optical pluggable
Nokia · Monza, Lombardia ·
Overview In an increasingly connected world, the pandemic has highlighted just how essential telecom networks are to keeping society running. The Network Infrastructure group is at the heart of a revolution to connectivity, pushing the boundaries to deliver more and faster network capacity to people worldwide through our ambition, innovation, and technical expertise.
Join Optical Networks division, where innovation meets scale in the AI-driven data center era. With the recent acquisition of Infinera, we’ve united two industry leaders to create an optical networking powerhouse—combining cutting-edge technology with proven leadership to redefine the future of connectivity.
As part of Nokia’s Optical Architecture group, you will have a unique opportunity to lead the design and architecture of novel optical DWDM communication systems. You will be responsible for architecting and implementing new software platforms in collaboration with our Systems Architecture, Systems Engineering and Software Development teams.
Develop innovative, competitive product architectures and requirements for packet-optical telecommunications products based on understanding of business requirements, use cases and applicable industry standards (like ITU, IEEE).
Consider trade-off between cost, function, capacity, and performance. The products to develop include optical network equipment, such as optical line systems, ROADMs, optical line interfaces/transponders/muxponders, OTN switches and other transport and switching network elements.
Responsibilities Work cooperatively with Product Line Management to define and clarify system propose feature solutions and assess feasibility. Work collaboratively with the product documentation team to describe product features and operational concepts in customer documentation.
Key Skills And Experience Broad systems knowledge garnered by years of experience specifying and/or leading architectural specifications across multi-disciplines Ability to think big-picture and deliver high quality requirements/architecture specifications, geared towards building robust, reliable and the best user experience solutions for the end-to-end integrated system Experience defining requirements in the areas of Fault Management, Performance Management, Configuration Management, Service Provisioning and Control Plane features of multi-layer networking products (especially for the L0 and L1 layers) Experience with Optical Networking Technologies and Standards including ROADM/WSS, OTN, Ethernet, GMPLS Control Plane Familiarity with data models used for operating and monitoring optical networks including YANG modelling language, ONF TAPI, OpenROADM, and OpenConfig.
Experience designing and validating link-level control algorithms and optical performance monitoring to optimize end-to-end optical performance. Excellent communication and presentation skills Highly motivated team player adept at cross-functional, cross-cultural and international teamwork Education
