Master's Thesis Worker, R&D

We are looking for a Master’s Thesis Worker to join our R&D team at Nokian Tyres.

Thesis Topic

A Federated Operating Model Framework for Industrial Edge Data Management

Nokian Tyres' R&D activities generate large amounts of experimental and test data from vehicles, laboratories, measurement devices, and local systems across multiple locations. Due to diverse equipment, legacy technologies, and local practices, the resulting data often lacks a consistent metadata structure and lifecycle management. This makes automated data utilization, integration into enterprise data platforms, and long-term maintenance challenging and resource-intensive.

The objective of this thesis is to develop a federated operating model framework that enables efficient management, standardization, and onboarding of distributed industrial edge data while respecting the autonomy and diversity of R&D environments. The work will define practical governance principles, operating procedures, metadata requirements, and organizational responsibilities that support both local data generation and centralized data utilization.

The thesis will be completed under a scholarship (grant) arrangement.
