    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!
