Role Overview :

Experience : 13 to 20 Years.

Role : PRINCIPAL QA SW ENGINEER.

We are seeking a highly skilled Solution Test Engineer to validate end-to-end solutions across modern data center and 5G networking environments.

This role combines manual and automated testing, ensuring high-quality delivery of IP fabric-based solutions through robust validation frameworks developed in Python and Go (Golang).

Key Responsibilities :

- Design, develop, and execute test plans and test cases for complex networking solutions (L2/L3, IP Fabric, EVPN/VXLAN).

- Validate 5G and data center architectures, including integration, scalability, and performance testing.

- Build and maintain automation frameworks using Python and Golang.

- Perform manual testing for new features, exploratory validation, and edge-case scenarios.

- Develop end-to-end solution validation, including interoperability and system-level testing.

- Automate regression, functional, and performance test suites.

- Troubleshoot and debug issues across network, system, and application layers.

- Collaborate with engineering, QA, and product teams to ensure high-quality releases.

- Analyze logs, packet captures, and system behavior to identify root cause issues.

- Support CI/CD pipelines and continuous testing strategy.

Required Skills :

1. Technical :

- Strong programming skills in Python (must-have) and Golang (preferred / strong plus).

- Solid understanding of data center networking (Leaf-Spine, IP Fabric, Clos architectures) and protocols including BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, and TCP/IP.

- Experience in 5G technologies (Core, RAN, or transport network validation).

- Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks and Linux systems and scripting.

- Proficiency in packet analysis tools (Wireshark, tcpdump) and debugging distributed systems and network issues.

Preferred Qualifications :

- Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.).

- Exposure to cloud-native and container environments (Kubernetes, Docker).

- Knowledge of network virtualization and SDN.

- Familiarity with test frameworks (pytest, Robot Framework, custom frameworks).

- Understanding of telecom standards and 5G architecture.
