The team you'll be part of 

Our Business Group is a leader in wireless mobility networks and associated services. With more than 3.500 patent families essential for 5G we have a strong 5G portfolio and are a front runner in open and virtualized radio access networks (O-RAN and vRAN). 

Our 5G software team in Amadora is looking for talented developers to implement software with hard real-time requirements for Nokia’s 5G base station products. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of Nokia. Our responsibility area covers the full chain of embedded and real-time software development cycle, from early requirements analysis to final delivery to our operations and customers. Join us in shaping the future with our next generation baseband, with exposure to Nokia’s cutting-edge System on Chip (SoC). 

Our team is developing embedded software, which together with the hardware chips makes up the Layer1 (L1) part of the signal processing chain. We are responsible for the baseband processing for Nokia’s 4G,5G, and in the future 6G products. Those products go directly to our customers, primarily telecom providers, which use them to serve millions of people with 4G/5G networks. Layer1 is especially important, because it is the first line of defense against data errors which occur when signals are transmitted over the air. Data can be protected and recovered with a series of signal processing operations, which our team is implementing. In addition, our software needs to be highly optimized to serve as many users with as fast speeds and as low power consumption as possible, and with hard real-time processing requirements.
