Description

Responsibilities:

 

  • Write functional specifications and design specifications for small-sized packet forwarding engine features and system software to manage hardware components.
  • Independently implement solutions to small-sized problems in our packet forwarding engine software and system software using the C, C++, and python programming languages.
  • Understand, utilize, test, and debug packet forwarding engine and hardware components vendor-provided software libraries in your solutions.
  • Write test plan specifications for small-sized packet forwarding engine features and system software, and implement automated test programs to execute the cases described in the test plan.
  • Debug problems found by our automated test programs and fix the problems.
  • Work on a team implementing, testing, and debugging solutions to larger packet forwarding engine software problems and system software issues.
  • Work with Customer Support Engineers to analyze problems in customer networks and provide fixes for those problems when needed in the form of new software releases or software patches.
  • Work with the hardware team and hardware component vendors to bring up initial versions of new systems using packet forwarding engines and system software.
  • Work with the diagnostic software team to design and develop software for the validation of new packet forwarding engine ASICs and hardware components.
  • Work with the System Test Engineers to analyze problems found in their tests and provide fixes for those problems.
  • Mentor new and junior engineers to bring them up to speed in Arista's software development environment.
  • Review and contribute to the specifications and implementations written by other team members.
  • Help to create a schedule for the implementation and debugging tasks, updating that schedule weekly, and reporting it to the project lead.
