## Description

We are seeking two skilled Automation Engineers with a strong networking background to join
our customers' Data Center Network Engineering Product Introduction team. These roles are
critical to bridging the gap between test design and test automation. You will work closely with
full-time engineering leads who design test plans for new data center products, and your
primary responsibility will be to automate those tests and execute validation in a data center
networking environment, Test Automation: Develop, implement, and maintain automated test scripts and
frameworks for data center network product validation

 * Network Testing: Execute network tests including traffic generation between servers,

packet drop analysis, and switch validation in data center environments

 * Manual Testing: Perform manual testing as needed for platforms where automation is

being developed or where coverage gaps exist

 * Framework Development: Contribute to and leverage the automation framework for

test automation

 * Collaboration: Work closely with full-time engineering leads to translate test designs

and manual test plans into robust automated test suites

 * Lab Environment: Support test execution in lab environments for new data center

product introductions (NPI)

 * Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve test coverage, automation

efficiency, and reporting
