Your work will enhance engineering productivity, expand automation coverage, and improve overall product quality for mission-critical customer deployments.

What you’ll do:

• Work closely with functional test teams to develop, refine, and improve overall testing approaches and strategies.

• Contribute to system testing strategies with a strong focus on automation, including customer use case–centric, scalability, and performance testing.

• Design, develop, and automate functional, usability, performance, scaling, and stress test suites.

• Deliver high-quality test automation code using frameworks such as Robot and Python, and tools such as Cypress, to expand and improve automation coverage.

• Build and maintain test beds that model customer use cases as well as scalability and performance scenarios, including virtualized environments.

• Identify and leverage opportunities to improve engineering productivity, tooling, and QA practices.

What you’ve done:

• Earned a BS in Computer Science or a related field.

• Built 3–6 years of hands‑on quality, software development, and/or test automation experience in virtualization and networking domains.

• Gained practical experience with test automation frameworks and tools such as Robot, Python, and Cypress.

• Demonstrated experience testing UI/UX performance and usability in web‑based or management interfaces.

• Worked across various aspects of systems testing and applied established QA processes and methodologies.

• Developed knowledge of network management concepts and core protocols such as TCP/IP, L2/L3 protocols, IPv4, IPv6, NAT, and REST.

• Built a strong understanding of the TCP/IP stack, HTTP/HTTPS, SSL, and REST services, with hands‑on experience testing these technologies.

• Validated deliverables in virtualized environments and created test beds for customer use case–centric, scalability, and performance testing.

Who you are:

• A quality-focused engineer with a strong interest in delivering robust, reliable products.

• A strong collaborator with excellent verbal and written communication skills, comfortable working in cross‑functional, dynamic teams.

• Detail‑oriented and systematic, with a structured approach to designing tests and automation for complex systems.

• Proactive and self‑driven, continuously looking for ways to enhance test effectiveness, automation coverage, and engineering productivity.
