With the exponential growth of AI infrastructure, it is essential to redesign our optical systems to address the current challenges related to the linear increase in cost, power, and rack space. To support this growth, we need to focus on simplifying and designing cost-efficient optical solutions. Join our team, which is at the forefront of innovation, and experience the passion of complete product development from design to deployment.
Our team has delivered significant achievements in the last 12 months, including the 1.6T per Port TXP/MXP and multiple new platforms such as NCS 1014, 1020, and Enhanced Optical Control Loops. Additionally, we have delivered two Pioneer (now Pinnacle) Award products at Cisco.
Who You'll Work With
Cisco Networking Engineering (CNE), formerly known as Distributed Systems Engineering (DSE), is a multi-billion-dollar business that generates revenue primarily from the Web, Service Provider Edge, Core, and Optical markets. The organization in India handles the development of high-end routers like ASR9000, NCS5500, NCS540, NCS560, NCS5700, and optical products like NCS1010, NCS1014, NCS1004, NCS4000, and NCS2000 series. We offer exciting career opportunities for enthusiastic and experienced software professionals in India.
Key Qualifications:
Experience in C and embedded systems with strong OS concepts (IPCs, multi-threading, etc.). Strong skills in data structures and algorithms. Extensive datapath bring-up experience on optical systems. Proven ability to conduct efficient code reviews and implement best engineering practices across the team. Use of AI tools to implement smart engineering practices. Strong analytical and troubleshooting abilities with experience in tools like gdb, git, etc. Device driver programming experience (SPI, I2C, Ethernet PHY Driver, Ethernet Switch Device Driver). Programming experience in a Linux environment. Basic or work experience with OTN products is an added advantage. Experience with agile development methodologies. Exposure to open-source tooling.
Responsibilities:
Own and lead end-to-end software development for the platform and datapath. Write comprehensive unit tests and integration tests, and clearly document requirements that translate to deployed use cases. Take ownership and accountability in delivering features to the customer. Work in a co-development model with key hyperscalers to design the systems of the future. Work closely with the test team to validate and simplify solutions.
