Build hardware/software interfaces that bridge various abstraction layers.
Develop fault and alarm subsystems to detect, report, and maintain defects and manage their hysteresis and co-relations.
Develop system applications such as traffic/equipment protection and performance monitoring.
Develop SDKs that abstract the underlying low-level software and hardware to facilitate platform application development and integration.

Education: Actively enrolled in a bachelor’s or master's degree in computer or electrical engineering, computer science, or similar disciplines,
Experience with C or C++

Nice to haves:

Developing software for embedded systems or telecom products
Understanding of CPU hardware architectures, hardware functional specifications, hardware timing diagrams, device data sheets
Understanding of real-time operating systems and embedded systems
Software development tools such as git, BitBucket, Gerrit, Jira, etc.
Unit test frameworks such as Google Test, JUnit, Robot, PyTest, and the like
Debuggers and tools (e.g., gdb), especially for troubleshooting embedded systems in user space and kernel space
High-level programming and scripting languages such as Java, Python, Perl, Tcl, bash; YANG modeling language and toolchains; software development methodologies such as Agile or Waterfall; familiarity with datacom and telecom concepts such as DWDM, SONET/SDH, OTN, Ethernet, OSI Model, TCP/IP, MPLS

Pay Range:

The pay range for this position is $25.00 - $34.00 per hour.

Pay ranges at Ciena are designed to accommodate variations in knowledge, skills, experience, market conditions, and locations, reflecting our diverse products, industries, and lines of business.
