- Drive test strategy, test planning, execution, and automation for L2/L3 networking use cases in appliance and system-level environments.

- Design, build, and enhance scalable automation frameworks using Python, Terraform, and Robot Framework.

- Validate switching and routing behavior across L2 and L3 feature areas with strong focus on functional, regression, and system testing.

- Work hands-on with traffic generation and validation tools to ensure feature quality, scale, and performance.

- Collaborate closely with development, regression, and systems teams, and partner with infrastructure teams when required.

- Troubleshoot issues deeply using logs, traffic analysis, and test results, and drive root cause analysis through closure.

- Bring innovation to day-to-day QA practices by improving coverage, efficiency, and quality engineering processes.

- Mentor team members and influence quality standards, automation direction, and best practices across the QA organization.

What you've done :

- 15 to 20 years of strong experience in software QA engineering with solid exposure to networking products and system-level testing.

- Strong hands-on experience in L2 and L3 switching and routing.

- Deep understanding of L2 and L3 protocols such as OSPF, BGP, STP, LACP, and related networking fundamentals.

- Hands-on experience with traffic generation tools such as Xena, Spirent, and T-Rex.

- Experience with traffic validation and observability tools such as Splunk and ELK is highly preferred.

- Strong experience in test case design, execution, automation, debugging, and release validation.

- Ability to analyze complex issues in distributed or network-heavy environments and work effectively with cross-functional engineering teams.

- Experience in building scalable, maintainable, and reusable automation solutions for regression and system validation.

Nice to have :

- Exposure to mTLS and security certificate validation.

- Experience working with firewall technologies and related security validation scenarios.

- Experience in validating secure network deployments and troubleshooting security-focused feature behavior.

Who you are :

- A self-motivated and hands-on quality engineer with strong exploratory and problem-solving skills.

- A principal-level contributor who can independently own quality outcomes and drive execution across teams.

- Strong in communication and collaboration, with the ability to work effectively with engineering stakeholders.

- Passionate about delivering high-quality products with strong customer focus.

- Clear understanding of the QA lifecycle and a continuous improvement mindset.

- Someone who leads by example, raises the quality bar, and brings structure and technical depth to the team.
