Software Engineering Manager

CommScope is looking to add a “Sr Mgr, Software Engineering” to our RUCKUS team based in Bengaluru.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated software leader to join our team as a First Line Manager for the Access Point (AP) Infrastructure and Data Plane team. In this role, you will lead a team of engineers developing next-generation, carrier-grade, cloud-enabled wireless access points. You’ll work on cutting-edge wireless services, protocols, and standards that power carrier, enterprise, and vertical networks—helping them stay ahead of the curve in high-bandwidth application demands.

How You'll Help Us Connect the World

Candidates having expertise in any two out of the following areas :

Strong programming experience in embedded C, especially on resource-constrained platforms and real-time operating systems.

Strong understanding of Linux kernel internals, including memory management, scheduling, and performance tuning.

Proficient in kernel-level debugging and troubleshooting, including firmware-level analysis.

Familiarity with frameworks such as OpenDP, DPDK, OpenFlow, and VPP is highly desirable.

Solid understanding of MIPS, ARM, and x86 architectures and their software dependencies in Linux environments.

Wi-Fi Access Point Dataplane Architecture : Deep understanding of L2 / L3 packet forwarding, bridging, NAT, QoS, and WLAN datapaths across enterprise and carrier-grade APs.

SoC SDK Integration : Hands-on experience integrating vendor SDKs (e.g., Qualcomm QSDK, Broadcom SDK) including driver bring-up, firmware integration.

Linux Kernel Networking & Upgrades : Proficient in kernel module development, kernel version transitions and maintaining compatibility with vendor patches and custom networking stacks.

Tunnel Offloading & Acceleration : Expertise in designing and implementing offload paths for encrypted overlay tunnels (e.g., vXLAN over IPsec, GRE), leveraging hardware accelerators or fast path engines (e.g., NSS, DPDK).

Performance Optimization : Skilled in identifying and resolving throughput bottlenecks, interrupt mitigation, CPU / core affinity tuning, DMA optimization and fast-path implementation.

Security Enhancements : Strong focus on secure tunnel management, IPsec optimizations, key handling, anti-replay protection and maintaining end-to-end encryption performance.
