## Description

The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in networking technologies, test automation, and infrastructure validation with strong problem-solving skills and a passion for operational excellence. Working closely with networking, hardware, firmware, systems, and operations teams, this engineer develops robust testing frameworks that improve deployment quality, accelerate validation cycles, and ensure seamless operation of large-scale infrastructure environments.

What You Will Do

 * Design and execute validation strategies for ToR switches, network fabrics, console infrastructure, and rack-scale networking systems.
 * Develop and maintain automated test frameworks that improve network validation efficiency, coverage, and scalability.
 * Create test plans, test cases, and verification methodologies for network functionality, performance, reliability, and resiliency.
 * Validate switching, routing, management, and monitoring capabilities across hyperscale infrastructure environments.
 * Perform integration, regression, stress, performance, and fault-tolerance testing of network and console management systems.
 * Collaborate with hardware, firmware, systems, and operations teams to identify and resolve networking and infrastructure issues.
 * Develop automation tools for deployment validation, configuration management, and operational readiness testing.
 * Analyze network telemetry, logs, packet captures, and diagnostic data to investigate failures and drive root cause analysis.
 * Support new platform bring-up, rack integration, and infrastructure qualification activities.
 * Validate network infrastructure readiness for deployment into lab, production, and large-scale data center environments.
 * Drive continuous improvements in validation methodologies, automation capabilities, and operational processes. Participate in design reviews, architecture discussions, and release readiness assessments to ensure networking requirements are fully validated.
