As the global leader in high-speed connectivity, Ciena is committed to a people-first approach. Our teams enjoy a culture focused on prioritizing a flexible work environment that empowers individual growth, well-being, and belonging. We’re a technology company that leads with our humanity - driving our business priorities alongside meaningful social, community, and societal impact.

How You Will Contribute:

Design, code, and integrate embedded C/C++ software on Linux and real-time operating systems.
Develop software that interfaces with ASIC/FPGA hardware on SoC platforms.
Own the full lifecycle: requirements gathering, architecture design, implementation, testing, and ensuring successful product delivery to customers.
Collaborate with local and global teams to deliver scalable, high-performance systems.
Provide technical leadership by guiding and mentoring more junior engineers in the team, fostering collaboration and skill development.
Support field teams during deployments and troubleshooting to ensure smooth integration and customer satisfaction.
Leverage your experience with coherent optics, pluggable optical technology, OTN mapper or/and re-timer devices (e.g., DIGI/G5/DX1/DX2) to improve hardware/software integration and system performance.
Work comfortably with AI tools such as Co-Pilot for tasks including, but not limited to, problem analysis, software development, test case generation and automation.

The Must Haves:

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field.
10+ years of experience in embedded software engineering, preferably in telecom, networking, or datacom industries.
5+ years of programming experience in C, C++, and embedded C, with proficiency in debugging tools (e.g., GDB, Valgrind).
Working knowledge of coherent optical technology.
Hands-on experience with FPGA/ASIC integration, device bring-up, and SoC platforms.
Knowledge of CPU architectures, hardware specifications, and timing diagrams.
Experience with Linux kernel and user-space drivers.
Strong foundation in embedded systems concepts: interrupts, synchronization, and inter-process communication.
Familiarity with telecom and networking protocols: DWDM, OTN, Ethernet, TCP/IP.
Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical collaboration.

Nice to Have:

Experience working with OTN mapper or/and re-timer devices.
Comfortable working with AI tools such as Co-Pilot for software development and test case generation.
Prototyping skills to explore solutions and refine designs.
Experience designing large-scale distributed embedded systems using microservice architectures.
Knowledge of telecom standards such as G.709 and IEEE 802.3.
Familiarity with data modeling (e.g., YANG).
Experience with development tools: Git, JIRA, Confluence, or Yocto.

Pay Range: The salary range for this role is $96, 200 - $148, 600
