  • Work with hardware and manufacturing teams to bring new hardware to market.
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers to design optimal software control interfaces for managing hardware components.
  • Provide technical leadership across features, projects and tools.
  • Work with Customer Support Engineers and customers to analyze, mitigate and fix problems in customer networks.
  • Work with the System Test Engineers to analyze problems found in their tests and provide fixes for those problems.
  • Mentor new and junior engineers to bring them up to speed in Arista's software development environment.
  • Qualifications

  • BS Computer Science / Electrical Engineering / Computer Engineering + 8 years experience, or MS Computer Science / Electrical Engineering / Computer Engineering + 6 years experience, or Ph.D. in Computer Science / Electrical Engineering / Computer Engineering + 3 years experience, or equivalent work experience
