Meet the Team
The Cisco IOS XR Routing and BNG Test Team ensures the reliability, scalability, performance, and resiliency of Cisco’s carrier-grade routing platforms. We work closely with software developers, architects, product managers, and customer-facing teams to deliver comprehensive, end-to-end validation across Layer 2, Layer 3, routing, subscriber-management, and network-service technologies for service providers, hyperscalers, and web-scale customers operating some of the world’s largest and most demanding networks.
Our team values technical depth, automation-first engineering, continuous learning, cooperative problem-solving, and responsible adoption of AI-assisted development practices.

Your Impact
As a Software Test Engineer, you will own the quality validation of IOS XR routing and Broadband Network Gateway capabilities. You will design test strategies, develop automation, validate complex customer scenarios, investigate system-level failures, and provide data-driven release recommendations.
Your work will help ensure that Cisco delivers stable, scalable,



and production-ready networking solutions. You will also mentor junior engineers, improve test frameworks, and use modern AI-assisted tools to accelerate engineering and troubleshooting workflows.

What You Will Do
- Design and implement functional, system, regression, scale, performance, interoperability, resiliency, and high-availability tests for IOS XR routing and BNG features.
- Validate BNG subscriber technologies, including IPoE, PPP, PPPoE, DHCPv4/DHCPv6, DHCP relay, Prefix Delegation, RADIUS, AAA, PAP/CHAP, accounting, Change of Authorization, subscriber policies, and session lifecycle management.
- Test Layer 2 and Layer 3 technologies such as Ethernet, VLAN, QinQ, LACP, IPv4/IPv6, BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, MPLS, Segment Routing, L2VPN, L3VPN, EVPN, ECMP, BFD, QoS, and high-availability mechanisms.
- Develop reusable and scalable test automation using Python and frameworks such as pyATS, Genie, or
