A day in the life
Software engineers within NPD could be working in a variety of areas from building the systems that do lab management DevOps manufacturing test reliability device monitoring and remediations using anomaly detection to the control plane (which determines where traffic should be forwarded) to platform and operating system work on drivers and the Linux OS/Kernel to the very domain specific expertise of the data plane (which manages the hardware that does that actual packet forwarding) we cover everything from embedded software to web development. Operating at the scale we do there is no blueprint for how to do what we do which encourages our engineers to identify and develop simple solutions to complex problems. We encourage durable solutions that look around corners while taking into consideration our customer needs from a cost performance and reliability perspective. We work closely with our internal partners that design build and operate the network to ensure that our solutions meet their needs and exceed their expectations.
