Job Abstract

Family Description

Applied R&D (AR) consists of target-oriented research either with the goal of solving a particular problem / answering a specific question or for multi-discipline design, development, and implementation of hardware, software, and systems including maintenance support. Supplies techno-economic consulting to clients. AR work is characterised by its detailed and complex nature in order to systematically combine existing knowledge and practices to further developing and incrementally improving products, operational processes, and customer-specific feature development.

Subfamily Description

Mechanical Hardware design comprises the specification, design, and implementation of mechanical assemblies while applying design targets such as low cost, high yield, and high reliability. Mechanical design requires a broad spectrum of skills including materials, design, simulation, ergonomics, aesthetic appeal and usability.

The Senior mechanical Engineer/Project Leader will be responsible for the design and development of the next generation multiblade systems for Nokia’s IP product line. Experience with the design and implementation of multiblade systems for CSP and/or Data Centers is required. Experience leading mechanical project teams is essential.

Responsibilities:

1. Design and implement Nokia’s next generation multiblade systems.
2. Lead a team of mechanical engineers to support the system design.
3. Generate the mechanical specifications based on the PRD/MRD.
4. Support the HW requirements.
5. Ensure that the design meets all of the necessary requirements for Nokia products.
   1. Tolerance loop analysis.
   2. Component temperature margins.
   3. Customer expectations.
