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.
