Senior Data Scientist for Telecommunications

Research in Nokia Standards (NSD) comprises fundamental systematic research of an exploratory nature for developing new products and services as well as disruptive technologies superseding conventional approaches. It covers the provision of a comprehensive understanding of scientific insights, specifically leading to (pre-) standardization of ideas and concepts for 6G technologies and beyond.

In light of the recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and data monetization, 6G will be the first mobile system built around and for data: first, 6G will be the first generation of fully AI-native mobile systems where new AI features will enhance traditional solutions. Secondly, 6G will be designed according to a data-driven approach, where quantitative data and measures collected in past releases will help in shaping the design of 6G. Thirdly, 6G will be conceived to convert the massive data generated by mobile systems into valuable and monetizable?information.
