Greetings from Wipro

We are pleased to share an exciting opportunity for the QA / System Test Validation Engineer Coherent optical pluggables role at Wipro.

Please find the role details below and share your updated resume at [email protected] For the QA role, prioritize candidates with actual hands-on coherent-optics laboratory experience and optical test-equipment exposure rather than candidates whose experience is limited to generic telecom software testing.

Requirement Name : QA / System Test Validation Engineer Coherent optical pluggables and transponder functionality.

Location: Bengaluru

Work Model: Hybrid minimum 3 days/work from office

Experience: Multiple levels: 4+ years, 6+ years, and 8+ years

Role Summary The QA Engineer will be responsible for system, functional, integration, regression, and automated validation of optical pluggable products. The engineer should combine robust optical/networking domain knowledge with hands-on laboratory testing and Python-based test automation.

Key Responsibilities

- Develop test strategies, test plans, test cases, and validation procedures for optical pluggable features.
- Perform functional, system, integration, regression, and release validation.
- Validate coherent optical pluggables and transponder functionality.
- Validate networking and transport functionality including:
- G.709 / OTN
- 100G Ethernet
- 400G Ethernet
- 800G Ethernet

- CMIS
- Perform hands-on testing using optical/networking laboratory equipment.
- Configure test environments and execute end-to-end traffic and optical validation.




- Analyze failures and isolate issues across:

- Firmware

- Hardware

- Optical interfaces

- Network interfaces

- Test environment
- Reproduce customer-reported defects and work closely with developers on root-cause analysis.
- Develop and maintain automated tests using Python / pytest.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines where applicable.
- Perform defect reporting, tracking, verification, and closure.
- Maintain test evidence, execution reports, defect metrics, and release-readiness information.
- Participate in sprint planning, daily scrum, defect triage, technical reviews, and release activities.
- Contribute to test-framework improvements and reusable automation.
- Use approved AI-assisted testing capabilities for test generation, script development, log analysis, and defect investigation where appropriate, with human validation.

- Mandatory Technical Skills
- Strong experience in telecom/networking product validation.
- Hands-on experience with coherent optics and/or optical transponders.
- Knowledge of G.709 / OTN.Experience with high-speed Ethernet:
- 100G
- 400G
- 800G
- Knowledge of CMIS and optical pluggable management.




- Strong system-level debugging and defect-isolation skills.
- Python-based test automation.
- Experience with pytest or equivalent automation frameworks.

- Optical Test Equipment Experience
- Candidates should have hands-on experience with relevant equipment such as:
- Ethernet/traffic generators and analyzers

- Optical Spectrum Analyzer

- Optical power meter

- Variable Optical Attenuator

- Optical switches

- BER/BERT test equipment
- Other coherent-optics/transponder validation equipment
- Expectations for Senior / Lead QA Engineers
- Define overall feature/system test strategy.
- Review test architecture and automation approach.
- Lead complex optical/networking defect investigations.
- Drive automation coverage and regression effectiveness.
- Mentor other QA engineers.
- Coordinate laboratory dependencies and test readiness.
- Own quality evidence for sprint/release acceptance.
- Work closely with development leads to improve defect prevention and release quality.
