Job Summary

Description

Innovation at its Best: Join our Forward-Thinking Company

At CableLabs we wake up every day to invent the future. CableLabs is a global award-winning innovation and R&D lab dedicated to keeping people connected by building and orchestrating emergent technology and igniting co-innovation today for the broadband of tomorrow.

The Software Engineering Intern Network Simulation & Management Systemsposition resides in the Wired Technologiesdepartment at CableLabs. This department leads the research & development of Access Layer technologies over HFC and PON networks. Our team plays a crucial role in creating scalable technology that can be deployed by Cable Operators to deliver High Speed Internet services to people all over the world.

Why This Internship Is Exciting

You will gain hands-on experience building software that directly supports next-generation broadband access networks. You will work on real simulation models and management tools used to explore and validate emerging PON technologies gaining exposure to both low-level systems programming and modern web-based interfaces. Your work will bridge theory and practice allowing you to see how networking concepts translate into deployable tools.

What Youll Do

Develop and enhance network simulation models by extending NS-3 PON components in C/C to support emerging technologies such as XGS-PON 25GS-PON 50G-PON and CPON for use in broadband access research.
Design and implement web-based graphical configuration tools that allow users to model and validate Optical Network Unit (ONU) configurations using standards-based managed elements.
Implement backend integration logic by connecting graphical user interfaces to network configuration services including NETCONF/YANG interfaces used to configure ONUs and Optical Line Terminals (OLTs).
Implement validation and testing logic to verify correctness and consistency of simulation models and configuration tools through defined test cases and documented workflows.
Collaborate with researchers to review requirements document designs and incorporate feedback during development cycles.

Qualifications

What Is a Must Have

Enrollment in an accredited degree program at the junior senior or graduate level in Computer Science Computer Engineering Electrical Engineering or a closely related technical field.
Demonstrated proficiency in C or C and Python sufficient to develop modify and test simulation or systems-level software.
Working knowledge of software development fundamentals including data structures algorithms and object-oriented programming concepts.
Experience developing software in a Linux or Unix-based environment including compiling debugging and testing code.
Basic familiarity with computer networking concepts such as packet forwarding protocols and network architectures.

What Will Set You Apart

Experience or coursework in network modeling or simulation including performance analysis queueing theory or scheduling concepts.
Familiarity with broadband access technologies or standards-based systems such as Passive Optical Networks (PON) or other large-scale network architectures.
Experience developing web-based software tools including graphical user interfaces and backend data models.
Exposure to model-driven network management technologies such as NETCONF YANG or similar configuration and automation frameworks.
Demonstrated ability to learn new technical domains and apply concepts to practical software development in a collaborative research environment.

Working conditions and physical requirements

This job operates in a professional office environment. Working conditions for office environment typically involveindoor settings often with a mix of standing sitting and walking along with the use of hands and fingers to operate computer workers also need to communicate through various means including telephone email and in-person discussions and they may be subject to moderate noise levels from office equipment.
