Hi Gehan!
Great question!
I would say that to succeed as a data scientist at Nokia, you need strong skills in programming (Python, R, SQL), machine learning frameworks, big data tools, and cloud platforms. Analytical abilities like problem-solving and critical thinking are essential, along with proficiency in data visualization tools, like Power BI. Knowledge of telecommunications and 5G is highly valued, but it all depends on the team and area you work on, as is the ability to collaborate across teams and communicate insights effectively. Data scientists at Nokia play a key role in leveraging data to drive innovation and optimize processes.
