Job Description

Family Description

Applied R&D (AR) consists of target-oriented research either with the goal of solving a particular problem / answering a specific question or for multi-discipline design, development, and implementation of hardware, software, and systems including maintenance support. Supplies techno-economic consulting to clients. AR work is characterised by its detailed and complex nature in order to systematically combine existing knowledge and practices to further developing and incrementally improving products, operational processes, and customer-specific feature development.

Subfamily Description

Software (SWA) comprises the definition, specification, and allocation of requirements from different sources utilising knowledge of systems engineering processes (specification & architecture). Contains processing of use case and feature requirements into conceptual models, operational scenarios, technical requirements, and functional description. Covers specification, design, implementation, and unit testing of Software (e.g. device drivers, microcode, hardware-related software & firmware) according to the requirements and architecture defined in the systems engineering process. Covers establishment and maintenance of Software Configuration Management (SCM) practices into software development projects, continuously building and integrating infrastructure tools and systems.

The team you'll be part of

The Optics Subsystems group develops the front-ends for coherent optical transmission modules to interconnect network nodes and data centers. We are expanding our Firmware team and looking for highly motivated engineers to join us in developing the next generations of transmission systems.

The Subsystems Firmware team is responsible for designing, integrating, and verifying all software parts required for an optical coherent transceiver module. This includes software targeting a complex multi-processor system embedded in custom hardware, low level driver software, algorithms controlling optical components and the digital signal processor, higher layer control software and the management interface application.

How You Will Contribute And What You Will Learn

As part of our team, you will:

• Develop and verify embedded software running on a Real Time Operating System in an highly constrained environment
• Develop and verify embedded software for peripheral devices like ADC/DAC and interfaces like PCIe, MDIO, I2C, UART, SPI, etc.
• Design, implement and optimize control loops and software controlling coherent digital signal processors
• Analyze functional misbehavior in devices in cooperation with internal or external device owners
• Bring-up and test of firmware on optical interface modules in DWDM transmission systems
• Support test and customer facing teams with technical expertise and problem analysis
  
  

Key Skills And Experience

Your skills and experience:

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or other related field with at least 3 years of practical work experience
