About the Role

We are seeking a Network Test Automation Engineer to support the development and validation of Ethernet-based sensor networks within an advanced autonomous vehicle platform.

In this role, you will work closely with cross-functional engineering teams-including Systems, Integration, Software, and Sensor teams-to build scalable automation solutions that ensure network performance, reliability, and compliance across complex distributed systems.

This position is ideal for an engineer with strong automation experience and deep expertise in networking, particularly within hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or system validation environments.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and maintain Python-based automation frameworks for Ethernet compliance, integration, and performance testing
Create and utilize PCAP/tcpdump tools and fault-injection scripts to validate network protocols (e.g., ARP, ICMP) and failure scenarios
Configure and manage VLAN (802.1Q) network topologies across bench and HIL environments
Validate interoperability between network switches and sensors, ensuring compliance with security and industry standards
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver robust network validation solutions
Maintain clear and comprehensive technical documentation for test frameworks, methodologies, and system configurations

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
6+ years of experience in network testing, automation, or system validation
Strong understanding of networking fundamentals, including OSI model, TCP/IP, UDP, ICMP, ARP, SNMP, and VLANs
Proficiency in Python and Bash scripting, with experience building automation frameworks (e.g., pytest)
Hands-on experience with network diagnostic tools such as Wireshark, iPerf, tcpdump, traceroute, and ethtool
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
Ability to troubleshoot issues across the full network stack

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with automotive Ethernet standards (e.g., 100BASE-T1, BroadR-Reach)
Familiarity with DoIP and UDS over IP
Knowledge of time synchronization protocols (e.g., IEEE 1588v2/PTP, 802.1AS)
Experience working in HIL environments, including integration with DAQ systems and relay-controlled power setups

Why Join

Work on cutting-edge autonomous vehicle technology
Collaborate with highly skilled, cross-functional engineering teams
Opportunity to contribute to innovative, real-world systems at scale
