Paul joined Nokia UK as a graduate design engineer in 1997 where he worked in large multi disciplinary teams developing mobile phones for the Japanese market. In 2000 Paul moved to Nokia Copenhagen where after a few years he was promoted to senior design engineer and mechanical team leader developing ultra high volume phones for European and emerging markets such as:
Nokia 1100 – The 1100 became the world’s best selling electrical device with over 400 million sold, Paul developed this project from initial concept through to mass production and gained several patents such as the front loaded silicon keymat which allows for language variants.
Nokia 2650 – A novel new hinge system was developed to make this phone open and close in a unique and subtle way with a Polypropylene hinge used with specialist suppliers. This project was very challenging due to the new manufacturing techniques used in its construction, but the end result worked very well and won a number of awards for innovation and design.
Accessory covers - Mechanical team leader for various phone accessory covers, the covers were used to experiment with new technologies and manufacturing techniques. Paul worked very closely with specialist suppliers and manufacturing factories, as well as Graphic and Industrial designers to create products using CIM (Component In Mould), IMD (In Mould Decoration) as well as active covers which illuminated the whole cover.
In 2004 Paul became a senior concept design engineer and a member of the Mechanical Architecture group, a small specialist team set up to develop the future products for Nokia. This was in conjunction with an elite group of Industrial Designers and various technology and manufacturing specialists.
