From a quick google search, we find that Krakatoa is a
3D rendering engine
and using frost for particle physics.
Now searching with nokia+krakatoa, we can find a number of team members who are/have been working for projects with Nokia who have listed the use of this engine as a part of their skillset...
Mark Timms
Matthias Muller
Kevin Meinert Product Development Manager at NOKIA
Now kevin has a very interesting role, he appears to be a team lead of one of Nokias Mapping team (Here).
So far, this is the only link i can find to "Krakatoa" with nokia and that would take us back to our assumption of the original Role offer being related to nokias mapping service.
Edit: additional info...
I have just rememberd reading an older article about how Nokia are now also using their
True Cars
for their Living Maps fitted with LiDar sensors, which basically "
uses 64 lasers to capture 1.3 million points of digital information every second of each vehicle's journey
".
I would happily place a bet on nokia using Krakatoa to generate their maps from the data captured by these cars.
