Responsibilities
- Own the SDK architecture for Eridu’s custom switch ASICs, including HAL, abstraction layers, API models, and feature-programming workflows.
- Design and implement software interfaces for L2/L3 forwarding, ACLs, QoS, buffer management, telemetry, and dataplane operations.
- Translate ASIC specifications and datapath designs into software-programmable abstractions in partnership with ASIC architects.
- Enable control-plane integration with the SONiC stack through OCP SAI or custom APIs.
- Lead bring-up efforts for new silicon with firmware and hardware teams across simulation, emulation, and production systems.
- Define best practices for modular SDK design, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and benchmarking frameworks.
- Mentor junior engineers and influence software direction across the switch software stack.
