Network Verification & Test Engineer (34227)

We are seeking a Network Verification & Test Engineer to validate the performance, reliability, and compliance of advanced networking systems. This role involves creating verification plans, executing system-level tests, automating configurations, and working with industry-standard traffic generation tools. The ideal candidate will bring a strong networking background, hands-on testing expertise, and the ability to work both independently and in collaborative team settings.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop system and subsystem verification matrices to ensure full coverage of all system requirements.
  
  
• Coordinate and participate in system-level testing activities, including planning, execution, and reporting of results.
  
  
• Design, develop, and maintain test cases and test beds to support various testing scenarios.
  
  
• Execute tests using traffic generators (e.g., Spirent, IXIA, Test Center), packet capture tools (tcpdump), and performance tools (iPerf).
  
  
• Validate networking features and performance across OSI layers, including TCP, UDP, IP networking, routing protocols, and network optimization techniques.
  
  
• Implement and manage NETCONF and gRPC/gNMI for automated network device configuration.
  
  
• Work with structured data formats such as JSON, JSON IETF, XML, YAML, PROTO, and REST APIs to support automation workflows.
  
  
• Utilize Kubernetes (POD) and Docker containers for test environment setup and management.
  
  
• Troubleshoot and resolve performance and functional issues, ensuring timely defect identification and resolution.

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience with traffic generation and analysis tools such as Spirent, IXIA, Test Center, tcpdump, and iPerf.
  
  
• Strong understanding of networking fundamentals, including OSI layers, TCP/UDP/IP protocols, routing protocols, and optimization methods.
  
  
• Experience configuring and automating network devices using NETCONF and gRPC/gNMI.
  
  
• Proficiency with structured data formats (JSON, XML, YAML, PROTO) and REST API integration.
  
  
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and Docker environments.
  
  
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
  
  
• Ability to work independently and within cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Python or Ansible for network automation and orchestration.
  
  
• Prior experience in network verification, system integration testing, or telecom/network equipment validation.
  
  
• Exposure to performance benchmarking and large-scale test environments.
