Lead Nokia's representation in IEEE 802.11 and Wi‑Fi Alliance, define research agenda and novel Wi‑Fi 9 concepts, draft and present standard contributions, collaborate with industry, and contribute to link/system simulation platforms.

Design, model, and test high-speed electrical interconnections for optoelectronic modules. Collaborate with PIC, ASIC, TROSA, and module teams to define requirements, create RF structures, develop test vehicles, coordinate fabrication with vendors, and perform high-speed measurements and data analysis.

The role involves developing and verifying SoCs using ASICs and FPGAs, creating test plans, collaborating with engineers, and debugging HW/SW.

Serve as the primary technical resource for the Eastern U.S. sales team, driving technical evaluations, delivering presentations and demos, responding to RFIs/RFPs, producing accurate quotations, providing after-sales support, attending industry events, and mentoring sales staff while aligning Nokia product solutions with customer requirements.

Lead strategic sourcing and procurement for IP hardware NPI: manage supplier relationships, negotiate component pricing and contracts, perform BOM and risk analysis, support launches, and resolve material shortages to meet engineering schedule and cost objectives.

Design and lead development of hardware architectures for satellite communications and ground systems. Drive integration, verification, EMC and environmental testing, root-cause analysis, qualification, documentation, and mentor junior engineers while collaborating with systems, software, FPGA, RF, and mechanical teams.

Design and develop Wi‑Fi 6 access point software and 802.11s mesh solutions on NXP-based Embedded Linux platforms. Implement HMAC components, optimize throughput/latency, maintain hostapd/wpa_supplicant, debug with packet captures, and collaborate with RF/hardware/firmware teams for enterprise-grade product releases.

Develop, optimize, and test UE Layer 2/Layer 3 protocol stack (MAC, RLC, PDCP, RRC, NAS) for LTE and 5G NR. Implement 3GPP features, debug protocol issues, integrate with PHY/L1 and higher layers, and perform functional/performance testing using UE simulators and network emulators.

Lead product engineering for next-generation coherent optical pluggable modules, driving yield improvements, statistical analysis, automation of workflows, and cross-functional optimization from design through manufacturing ramp to volume production.
