Cisco

Remote in the US, San Francisco / Remote in Canada,
 
Number Of Vacancies: 1
 

AS A LEAD SOFTWARE ENGINEER FOCUSED ON PLATFORM BRING-UP, YOU WILL:

  • Define next-generation architecture, mentor engineers, and delegate development to others where required.
  • Own projects from block-diagram concepts, to prototype boards that don’t boot, all the way to shipping product.
  • Collaborate with our Hardware Engineering team on component selection and high-level architecture for new Meraki products.
  • Collaborate with Product Management, Quality Assurance teams and Manufacturing Partners to develop secure, reliable, and scalable manufacturing processes.
  • Integrate vendor board support packages and software development kits with our firmware and build system.
  • Develop, port, and debug Linux device drivers.
  • When things don’t go quite as planned—a board doesn’t boot, an LED doesn’t light, a fan doesn’t spin—use a JTAG debugger or logic analyzer or work with the hardware team to debug the problem.
  • Be a part of the leadership of the larger product team: weighing in on development priorities, projects going on across the team, etc.

YOU ARE AN IDEAL CANDIDATE IF YOU:

  • Have 10+ years of professional experience programming in C or C++.
  • Have strong systems and networking foundational knowledge (systems architecture, memory hierarchy, storage subsystems, LANs, routing).
  • Have expert knowledge of embedded systems development concepts, including cross-platform development and build tools (GNU toolchain, OpenWRT, buildroot, Yocto), bootloaders (U-Boot, coreboot, UEFI), kernel configuration, device drivers, device trees.
  • Know common bus protocols like I2C, SPI, PCIe, USB and MD.
  • Are comfortable using network protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, hardware debuggers, and source-level debuggers to troubleshoot problems at all layers of the stack.
  • Have experience reading schematics and data sheets.

BONUS POINTS FOR:

  • Experience writing device drivers.
  • Upstreaming Linux patches.
  • Knowledge of wireless protocols (e.g., 802.11, Bluetooth).
  • Experience with multi-threaded or parallel programming.
  • Experience with image sensors, GPUs, ISPs, DSPs, h.264 and other video encoding technologies.
  • Knowledge of web technologies: databases, high-level languages (Ruby, JavaScript), frameworks (Rails, React), and architectural patterns.

 

About Cisco

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an expansive future for all.

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do – you can’t put us in a box!

 

But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)

 

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

 

So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us!
