Contributions help enable reliable, scalable software capabilities across multiple product areas.

How you will make an impact:

Design, implement, and maintain real-time embedded platform and application software.
Develop hardware and software interfaces that bridge abstraction layers.
Build fault and alarm subsystems to detect, report, and manage defects.

Education: Enrolled in a bachelor’s or master's degree in computer or electrical engineering, computer science, or similar disciplines
Experience: Previous internship, co-op, or applied project experience relevant to the role.
Coding with C or C++
High-level programming and scripting languages such as Python or bash
Knowledge of software revision control systems such as git
Familiarity with software design patterns (e.g., blocking vs non-blocking, multithreading)

Nice to haves:

Developing software for embedded systems or telecom products
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, Unity and the like
Debuggers and tools (e.g., gdb), especially for troubleshooting embedded systems
Software development methodologies such as Agile or Waterfall
Bare metal programming

Pay Range: The annual pay range for this role is $68,800 - $109,800
