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.
