Remi M.

Software Engineer

Hello Selin!

In my opinion, it is good to know some basics of telecommunications to understand Nokia's business.

However, it depends on the role. For example, a software engineer who works closely with hardware probably should know more about signal processing, sampling, interference, etc.; but for a software engineer who develops a business application, it is not that crucial.

To sum up, I think that it's good to know some basics because besides being useful it's also interesting - advanced knowledge is role-dependent and most probably this requirement will be stated in the job offer.

All the best!
