  1. 1

    Read the full posting first

    This page is our summary. Harmonic's own posting is the source of truth for requirements, pay, location and deadlines, so read it in full before you decide to apply.

  2. 2

    Match your résumé to three requirements

    Pick the three requirements you meet best and make sure each one is visible in your résumé with a concrete example: what you built, ran or improved. Move the most relevant experience or project to the top. Keep it to one page unless you have many years behind you.

  3. 3

    Write a short note if there is a place for one

    Three or four sentences are enough. Say which part of the role you can already do, give one piece of proof, and say why this company. Skip the long cover letter and the generic opening line.

  4. 4

    Apply on Harmonic's own site

    Use the Apply Now link below. It opens the employer's own application page. Fill every field, attach a PDF named with your name, and keep a screenshot or the confirmation email.

  5. 5

    Track it and follow up once

    Note the date, the role and the link in a simple sheet. If you hear nothing for about a week, one polite follow-up is fine. Meanwhile, start preparing, because interview calls can come at short notice.
