Key Responsibilities:
- Design and maintain Linux and VxWorks kernels
- Develop drivers for ASICs, FPGAs, and hardware
- Build hardware software interfaces across abstraction layers
- Develop fault and alarm subsystems
- Create performance monitoring system applications
Requirements:
- Actively enrolled in computer or electrical engineering
- Computer science or similar discipline enrollment accepted
- Currently pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree
- Experience with C or C++
- Embedded systems or telecom development experience preferred
Apply embedded Linux, real-time software, and C or C++ skills across Ciena’s platform engineering work.
