About the Role

Overview

Looking for an opportunity to be part of a winning team pushing the boundaries on networking in the data center environment?

Role

Join our team as we continue to expand our product portfolio in the Data Center and Communication Service Provider. The IP Routing Hardware organization is very flat - there are few levels of management between the Individual Contributor and the VP of Hardware. We are also very lean - each Hardware Engineer spends more time doing engineering work and less time on overhead. As a result, your work has high visibility, and your decisions directly impact product design.
