How You Will Contribute

Ciena’s product portfolio is evolving with the way customers consume networking equipment. This evolution includes the miniaturization of coherent transponders into “pluggable” form factors, and sub-components for customers integrating in-house transponders. These products address a new and rapidly expanding  market of disaggregated solutions, from deep inside the data center (incl. ML/AI interconnects), through metro/regional and long-reach networks.

SE&I supports the tail-end of a development cycle (readying solutions across optical transport, routing & switching and cloud domains), bringing technical solutions to customers via accounts teams and Sales Engineers (SE). The present role focusses on adopting Ciena transmitter technology into native and 3rd party platforms (h/w and s/w) (incl. RnD support), confirmatory lab tests (incl. software automation), proof-of-concept trials/demos, and design feedback into appropriate internal teams.

You will help ensure transponders and hosts adhere to “Coherent Common Management Interface Specification (C-CMIS)” - a plug/host interop standard. You will help customers adopt these technologies into a variety of hosts (native and 3rd party) via technical consultancy, proof-of-concept (PoC) demos, and competitive demos and field trials demonstrating features and performance. You will also work with Ciena Product Line Management (PLM), R&D, Sales, and Services for evolving solutions and capturing customer feedback.

The Must Haves:

  • Performing integration testplans for adopting Ciena pluggable transmitters into 3rd party platforms
  • Lab-based tests verifying transponder (WL5n, WL6n) performance/specs across a range of metrics (TX/RX interfaces, power consumption, software interface, etc.)
  • Software automation accelerating lab/field work (Python, JavaScript)
  • Lab/field activities maximizing capacity/performance, interoperating with foreign systems, resolving issues and demonstrating features
  • Bachelor of Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent
  • Meaningful experience related to coherent transponders, especially pluggable form factors. E.g., CMIS, C-CMIS, SFF-8024, CFP-MSA, and QSFP-DD, CFP2-DCO.
  • Hardware:
  • Some knowledge/experience of CMIS, C-CMIS and CFP-MSA standards and client mappings (e.g., GAUI-n)
  • Experience with routing/switching equipment (e.g., Ciena, Cisco, Juniper, Nokia, Arista, Huawei)
  • Experience with optical transmission (L1), routing/switching (L2/L3), lab instrumentation and/or coherent modems
  • Lab experience with optical technology/instrumentation: optical transmission, lab environments, instrumentation (e.g., OSA), coherent modems (e.g., BPSK, DPSK)
  • Software:
  • Demonstrated proficiency with Python, JavaScript (Angular.js, Ember.js), C/C++, MATLAB
  • Web UI (HTML5, CSS, YANG, XML, JSON)
  • Northbound interfaces (REST API, NETCONF, gRPC)
