Embedded Systems Software Developer Co-op

Build embedded software for Cisco networking platforms using C or C++, Linux, and systems programming skills in a collaborative engineering setting. Graduate students can contribute to high-performance routing, switching, and hardware-software integration.

As an Embedded Systems Software Developer Co-op, you will work with senior engineers and domain experts on scalable, resilient network systems. The work includes operating systems internals, networking protocols, architectural trade-offs, and system efficiency. You will help develop robust components for next-generation distributed platforms.

Key Responsibilities:

• Evaluate architectural trade-offs for networking systems
• Implement robust embedded software components
• Optimize system-level workflows and efficiency
• Contribute to resilient distributed platforms
• Address complex technical challenges with engineers

Requirements:

• Current enrollment in a graduate degree program
• Computer Science or related engineering education
• Proficiency in C or C++ systems programming
• Understanding of operating systems and TCP/IP architectures
• Linux, GDB, Valgrind, and Git experience

Apply C or C++, Linux, and networking knowledge while developing resilient embedded systems for Cisco’s core platforms.
