You will help validate SONiC functionality, reproduce complex field issues, verify bug fixes, and expand automated test coverage for modern open networking solutions. You will work closely with engineering teams and contribute to the delivery of reliable software for real production environments.

This position is well suited for an engineer who enjoys networking, Linux, automation, and hands‑on troubleshooting in technically demanding systems.

Validate SONiC and SONiC Lite functionality across networking features, platform behaviors, and software releases

Reproduce, analyze, and verify defects found in integration, system, and customer‑simulated environments

Develop, maintain, and execute automated test cases and test suites using Python and Bash

Expand test coverage for Layer 2, Layer 3, platform, and system‑level scenarios

Analyze requirements, design notes, and test documentation to define effective verification scopes

Execute functional, regression, and system testing for SONiC‑based products and related hardware platforms

Investigate failures using logs, packet captures, CLI output, and Linux diagnostic tools

Maintain test results, defect reports, and verification documentation

Improve build, test, and lab workflows through scripting and automation

Collaborate with developers and senior engineers to isolate root causes and validate fixes

Contribute to internal R&D, framework improvements, and reusable validation assets

Requirements

3+ years of commercial experience in QA, test automation, software validation, or verification

Solid Python skills for test automation and troubleshooting

Practical experience with Bash and Linux as a main working environment

Good understanding of networking fundamentals and Layer 2 / Layer 3 protocols

Strong analytical, debugging, and problem‑solving skills

Good communication skills and ability to work effectively in a cross‑functional engineering team

Intermediate or higher level of technical English

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SONiC and/or SAI validation
• Experience with Pytest, PTF, or similar networking test frameworks
• Experience with traffic generators and network testing tools (IXIA, Scapy, T‑Rex, or Spirent)
• Familiarity with Wireshark, tcpdump, and Linux network troubleshooting tools
• Experience with virtualization, Docker, and Python virtual environments
• Exposure to open‑source development environments and communities
• Experience with enterprise‑grade equipment, such as switches, routers, or disaggregated networking platforms

Would be a plus

Work on modern open networking products used in data center, cloud, and edge environments
