Job description

* Drive system design and implementation for platform software across core networking subsystems, including:* Chassis/line-card platform services, Ethernet interfaces, optics, and the underlying system infrastructure that ties hardware and software together* Own architecture and end-to-end delivery within JunOS or Junos Evolved—define interfaces, evaluate design tradeoffs, implement, and integrate across the stack.* Partner with system and solution test teams to set quality bars and build performance and reliability requirements, build strong test strategy, and shorten debug/triage cycles.* Work with JTAC as the engineering escalation path - perform root-cause analysis on production issues, drive fixes to closure, and harden the platform to prevent regressions.* Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or closely related quantitative discipline. Master’s desirable.* Typically, 2-4 years’ experience.* Deep experience with low-level systems: device drivers, board/system bring-up, and FreeBSD/Linux internals.* Strong systems debugging skills - able to isolate cross-layer failures (hardware/firmware/OS), and reason about performance, concurrency, and resource bottlenecks.* AI-first engineering mindset: comfortable using AI-assisted tools (e.g., coding copilots, LLM-based assistants) to accelerate design, implementation, and debugging - while validating outputs, writing tests, and protecting sensitive data.* Requirement: consistently apply AI-assisted workflows across the system design lifecycle (problem framing → tradeoffs/interfaces → implementation → test/verification → production triage) to improve speed, quality, and reliability.* Habit of documenting decisions and using lightweight design artifacts (problem statements, tradeoffs, interfaces) to align quickly and iterate with the team.* Solid networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, Ethernet; familiarity with switching concepts is a plus).* Strong C/C++ engineering: clean API/interface design, OO design, data structures, and comfort with low-level/system debugging tooling.* Working knowledge of hardware/firmware interfaces and integration points (Optics, PCIe, SPI, I2C, FPGA/CPLD) - able to translate datasheets into robust software abstractions.* Bonus: prior experience shipping system software for networking products (platforms, routers/switches, or similar).HPE is an Equal Employment Opportunity/ Veterans/Disabled/LGBT employer.
