Software Engineering Intern - Summer 2025

Are you a student looking to gain hands-on professional experience in software development? Would you like to gain that experience through a robust summer internship program?

We at Juniper Networks are seeking continuing students who are interested in Software Engineering Summer 2025 Internships. Candidates must be in enrolled in a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD program, preferably in EE, CS, or CE, graduating December 2025 or later.

We're looking for people who are excited about building infrastructure that global businesses rely on -- robust, high-performance software. Our environment is highly collaborative, fostering learning and teamwork, and encouraging all Junivators to take ownership of our collective success.

The selected candidate will be responsible for the following job duties with percentage of time spent breakdown as follows:

• Development of platforms & Interfaces related new features (35%);
• For each new feature or functionality added, there is a relevant tracking Release Line Item created, and for each Release Line Item, there would one or more modules needs programming/development of new set of code or modification of existing code to add new feature support. When we say development of new feature, it means the feature is usable to end user. End user could be internal or external. Code Development is done in C/C++ or Python. Engineer is expected to implement this with high quality code. Engineer is also expected to understand JUNOS and EVO operating system which are Juniper proprietary.

• Write Functional Specification documents, provide and review feedbacks, and incorporate modifications based on the feedbacks (10%);
  
  
  
  • For all of the features requested by Release Line Item or Modification Request, requirements from Marketing Requirement Document or Product Definition Document need to be understood and translated as Functional Spec which provides details on the functionality of the new feature. The skill of the engineer determines how good the Functional Specification document is. These Functional Specifications are then sent for review to engineering team as well as Marketing team and Technical Publications and these are corrected based on the review comments and then sent into a repository.
  
  
• Write design specifications for Juniper platform and interfaces related features (15%);
  
  
  
  • For each new feature or functionality added, there is a relevant tracking Release Line Item created, and for each Release Line Item, there would one or more design specs and design spec created. Engineer writes the design document after analyzing the current infra/code as well as proposes complete new design as required by the feature. The engineering team sits down and reviews these documents on a regular basis and provides feedback. The issues caught during this time is the most cost effective since it is catching the errors even before they are implemented. Hence a lot of thought and work effort is needed to be done during this time.
  
  
• Write Unit test plan and automate and validate test cases (10%);
  
  
  
  • Once the development of feature or module/sub-module is code completed, Unit Test Plan is written and executed. All of this execution is done manually and is also then automated meaning via scripts which are written in Perl or using Python or TOBY which is unique to Juniper. These are the Juniper tools. Once the test cases are all automated, they are sent to code review and then submitted to the repository.
  
  
• Bug fixes and maintenance of existing features/products (25%);
  
  
  
  • Once the features are rolled out to customer - First Release Shipment. Occasionally new bugs could crop up either in same release or a newer software release. These bugs needs to be fixed. Engineer is expected to provide a fix within Release Timelines for software with high quality code.
  
  
• Addressing Customer Escalations (5%).
  
  
  
  • Sometimes bugs are reported from the customer and needs to be immediately addressed with a fix. Engineer is expected to analyze the failure, understand the erroneous code and come up with a solution in quick turn-around time.
