Specialized coherent-optics validation reduces competition, but Nokia brand and mid-level (3+ years) increase applicant density.
Role requires deep coherent optics and telecom validation experience, making cross-industry transferability low.
Explicit 3+ years, niche coherent optics expertise, and mandatory test automation skills create high shortlisting strictness.
