TL;DR · Silicon One NOS Integration Engineer

As a SONiC Platform Engineer at Cisco, you will join a team of best-in-class engineers and technical visionaries responsible for delivering advanced simulation solutions and infrastructure to both internal and external customers. Your role involves porting and optimizing the SONiC operating system onto new Cisco ASICs and virtual platforms, integrating SAI and Syncd layers, and ensuring peripheral components are properly brought up through Platform APIs and BSPs. You will design full-stack qualification cycles, develop regression test suites using Pytest and PTF, and perform deep-dive debugging with tools like GDB and Tcpdump to identify issues in the OS, hardware, or SAI layer. The position requires expertise in Python for automated testing, Linux systems, and experience with SONiC architecture, including Redis and SwSS components, as well as familiarity with ASIC SDKs and traffic generators. This role is pivotal in bridging open-source networking with carrier-grade hardware at scale.

What you'll do

  • Lead the effort to port SONiC onto new Cisco ASICs and virtual platforms.
  • Integrate and fine-tune SAI and Syncd layers for hardware-specific SDK calls.
  • Own the bring-up of peripheral components through Platform APIs and BSP.
  • Design and execute end-to-end qualification cycles for performance benchmarks.
  • Develop massive regression test suites using Pytest, PTF, and Ansible.
  • Perform root-cause analysis of failures during bring-up using GDB and Tcpdump.

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years of experience in hardware bring-up or NOS platform engineering.
  • Experience qualifying networking platforms for high-scale data center deployments.
  • Strong Python skills for building automated test frameworks and REST/gRPC API interactions.
  • Deep understanding of Linux systems, including kernel drivers and containerization.
  • Familiarity with SONiC architecture and SAI standard for switch abstraction.
