You bring proven experience working in Customer Operations and/or R&D environments, with the ability to design, develop, and support network-related software. Your focus is on ensuring optimal performance, efficient system resource utilization, and maintaining Carrier-Grade stability.

The Project Engineering team is responsible for customizing and adapting Enea Qosmos products to ensure seamless integration into customer environments. As a software engineer on this team, you will develop custom applications or modules, implement product-specific modifications, and provide integration guidance and technical support.

This role requires a strong ability to quickly learn and adapt to new environments, tools, and technologies. You may occasionally work directly on customer premises, collaborating with their R&D teams to support integration efforts and resolve technical issues.

Main Duties:

As a Software Engineer in the Customer Project Engineering Team, you will contribute throughout the full project lifecycle, from feasibility studies to post-deployment support, ensuring the successful customization and integration of Enea Qosmos DPI/TI technologies in diverse customer environments.

Feasibility Phase

• Participate in feasibility studies to assess technical solutions for customer requirements.

• Estimate development and integration effort in collaboration with project stakeholders.

• Analyze existing product capabilities and identify areas for customization or enhancement.

Development Phase

• Design and develop custom features, modules, and plugins to meet customer needs, ensuring seamless integration into the Qosmos product or customer environments.

• Perform reverse engineering of network protocols and implement corresponding DPI plugins.

• Follow coding standards and internal procedures for quality and maintainability.

• Participate in peer code reviews to ensure high code quality across the team.

• Write user and technical documentation for developed features and components.

• Use software profiling tools to identify performance bottlenecks and propose optimizations.

• Benchmark solutions to evaluate performance, scalability, and resource utilization.

Testing & Validation

• Develop automated testing tools and frameworks to support features and new development validation.

• Execute functional and automated test scripts to verify Product and system behavior.

• Validate feature operation in target environments, both internally and in collaboration with customers.

• Analyze test results and provide feedback to ensure carrier-grade stability and reliability.

Integration & Post-Project Support

• Support integration efforts by providing technical assistance to customers, either remotely or on-site when required for confidentiality, limited access, or urgent timelines.

• Collaborate with customer R&D teams during integration phases to troubleshoot issues and ensure smooth deployment.

• Assist Customer Support in analyzing and reproducing issues, proposing workarounds or patches when needed.

• Collect relevant logs and diagnostic information to aid in issue resolution.

• Communicate regularly with project management to report progress, risks, and mitigation strategies.

• Ensure that technical goals and project deadlines are met.

Profile Prerequisites

Education & Experience:

• Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, with a specialization in networking or systems programming.

• Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in software development within Linux environments.

Technical Skills:
