In this role you will design and implement embedded software for Optical Line System components, primarily using MATLAB, C, and C++.
You will lead device and hardware abstraction to interface with I2C, SPI, MDIO, and optical components, and drive control software for EDFA and Raman amplifiers.
You'll support ROADM and real-time network reconfiguration, develop firmware for optical pluggables, and contribute to topology modeling and modulation-technology testing.
This is a hands-on engineering position at a leading telecom software/optics domain with a strong impact on network performance and resilience.
Design and implement embedded software for Optical Line System components (MATLAB, C, C++)
