Nokia is a Finnish telecommunications and technology company headquartered in Espoo, Finland, with a history going back to its founding by the Tammerkoski rapids in Tampere in 1865. Its main business areas include Mobile Networks (Radio Access Network, transport, core networks, RAN/Microwave), Network Infrastructure (optical, fixed, IP/MPLS), Cloud & Network Services, and patent/licensing & technology licensing via Nokia Technologies.

Finland is a major hub for Nokia both historically and currently: the company employs around 6,600-7,000 people across three primary sites in Finland — Espoo, Tampere, and Oulu — with Espoo being the global headquarters, hosting large R&D, product development, cloud & networking labs, testing facilities, and the licensing business. Tampere largely focuses on system‐on‐chip (SoC) design, network management and automation software, multimedia transmission technologies, and Oulu is known for radio research, base station hardware & software, and manufacturing.

In Finland, Nokia recruits broadly: roles in software development (especially for cloud, network management, RAN, SoC), R&D & applied research (radio, machine learning, AI, automation), product design & testing, hardware design, system & chip architecture, network infrastructure & hardware manufacturing, technical support & services, also early career (“student, intern, trainee”) positions, and supporting roles in corporate services (HR, finance, legal, operations) are all common.
