Production Lead (Berkeley)
Nokia's Location & Commerce business was created to deliver
differentiated location experiences for mobile products, the
navigation industry, the automotive market and government and
business solutions. Our goal is to bridge the virtual world with the
real world with a portfolio of location content, an intelligent
location platform, and a range of apps and services.
Today people own and use multiple mobile devices. These devices are
getting smarter -- first, because they are increasingly connected to
the cloud, and second because they're becoming sensor-rich. Thus they
know more and more about their surroundings and the activities of
their users. By leveraging our leading position in social location
services and location data, Location & Commerce is set to enable a
complete offering to consumers and B2B customers that reaches across
screens and device types. By complementing hardware, software and
services with "smart" social location data, we can help users
experience the world in a variety of new and better ways.

Important personal attributes include strong organization; an
obsession with process; the ability to be both simultaneously bold
and diplomatic; a preference for leading by example regardless of
whether it means getting one's hands dirty; and taking pleasure in
learning new things.
Key activities will include managing a production team; developing
and implementing processes; applying manufacturing ERP and other
software tools; communicating boldly yet diplomatically to other
internal groups; and driving continuous improvement in quality.
REQUIREMENTS:
The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's degree or better in a
related field, and 4-8 years experience.
Key Skills Include-
* Managing production personnel
* Developing and implementing processes related to production and inventory
