Job DescriptionAbout the Role: Product verification & testing for an L1-L3 Traffic Generator Solution for a Global Networking Testing and Validation equipment provider. NOur team: A team of networking enthusiasts willing to contribute to customer success. NResponsibilities: Nn Design, implementand maintain long-running automated test scenarios (soak tests spanning days/weeks) using Spirent TestCenter APIs, covering performance, scalability, convergence, and protocol stability under sustained traffic load. N Derive automation requirements from manual functional test specifications and hardware validation reports. N Collaborate with development team to translate software requirements into high-quality test automation suites. N Develop automation for the end-to-end solution validation and integrate the automation for seamless validation. N Implement, execute and debug Python automated test scripts on Linux-based platforms. N Analyze and manage automated regression test execution failures. N Debug and troubleshoot complex issues and work closely with the engineering team on the failures and validate the fixes. N Integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines. N Collaborate closely with hardware and software development teams to triage test failures and drive quality improvements. N Reproduce and root-cause hardware/firmware defects through systematic test isolation. N Make use of AI tooling (e.G. Claude Code, agentic AI) given customer-specific heavy usage patterns. N Review customer deployments and customer-found issues and address any gaps in the test coverage. NnQualifications andRequired Skills:: Nn Overall QA background of 6+ years, with 4+ years in testing networking domain-related applications. N QA Automation experience in an Agile/SCRUM team, focused on API and/or CLI testing (4+ years); Python strongly preferred (other comparable languages considered). N Automated Testing for API or CLI 4+ years, including experience in test harness or framework development.
N Hands-on experience automating Spirent TestCenter (STC) using its Python API — specifically StcPython native API, the REST-based stcrestclient library (py-stcrestclient), or HLTAPI (High Level Test API); ability to script traffic port configuration, device emulation, traffic stream setup, result subscription and statistics retrieval. N Familiarity with STC Lab Server architecture: connecting to chassis, managing test sessions, and executing automated sequences without GUI dependency. N Experience writing and maintaining long-running automation suites (soak tests of days/weeks duration) with robust result collection, error handling, and reporting. N Working knowledge of L2/L3 protocols exercised through STC: Ethernet, VLAN/QinQ, BGP (v4/v6), OSPF (v2/v3), IS-IS, MPLS/LDP, BFD, and data-center protocols such as VXLAN and EVPN; ability to configure emulated/simulated router topologies for scale and convergence testing. N Familiarity with RFC 2544 / RFC 2889 benchmarking methodology for throughput, latency, frame loss and back-to-back testing. N Practical experience with AI tooling in day-to-day activities to improve productivity and delivery quality (code generation, code review, automation, agentic AI, MCP usage, etc.). N Experience in performance, scale, and convergence testing; ability to analyze and improve performance and convergence at system level. N Ability to develop and publish solution validation documents and test reports. N Strong verbal and written communication skills; able to communicate effectively across QA and Development teams. N Highly motivated, self-driven, and able to collaborate cross-functionally to meet challenging goals. N Knowledge Linux OS variants (Ubuntu, Debian). N CI/CD (Jenkins, GitLab,or similar) and issue tracking tools (JIRA, Confluence). N Knowledge of STC Tcl API or legacy Tcl/HLTAPI scripting (practical for migrating existing test suites to Python). N Familiarity with additional traffic generation or network testing tools (e.G., IXIA/Keysight, Wireshark, Iperf). N
