Senior Hardware Design Engineer

Company Description

Arista Networks is a fast-growing company and an industry leader in the ethernet switch industry. Our switch systems have touched every corner of the market - from the data centers of the world’s largest cloud-computing companies, to your local university’s server room, and every application in between. We design virtually all of the hardware and software that goes into our products and it’s a badge we wear proudly. This wouldn’t be possible without the likes of talented engineers who are given the opportunity to fully lead their own projects and the freedom to think outside the box.
