Senior Software Test Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

• Solid understanding of SONiC fundamentals, SONiC testbed, and pytest.

• Develop Python/Bash scripts for Optical Circuit Switch (OCS) topology setup, test automation, and log analysis.

• Execute test plans to validate OCS functionality, performance, stability, and scalability. Identify defects, report results, and validate fixes.

• Build, deploy, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) for automated SONiC and OCS testing.

• Automate testbed deployment and lab workflows using infrastructure automation tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform).

• Validate SDN controller integration with OCS platforms (e.g., ONOS, ODL, OpenFlow).

• Collaborate closely with FPGA, optical hardware, and software teams to deliver integrated end-to-end solutions.

• Contribute to the SONiC open-source community via scripts, issue reports, or pull requests.
  

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Minimum 5 years of software automation experience in distributed or hardware-software integrated systems.

• Proficient in Python and Bash scripting for automation, log analysis, and orchestration.

• Strong working knowledge of SONiC architecture – SAI, Redis-DB, Docker, pytest, and testbed automation.

• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipeline tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).

• Experience with infrastructure automation (e.g., Ansible, Terraform) for lab/testbed automation.

• Understanding of SDN concepts (e.g., ONOS, ODL, OpenFlow, P4Runtime) and their integration with OCS platforms.

• Ability to debug across hardware/software boundaries, especially FPGA and optical switching hardware.

• Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills.

• Self-motivated and quick learner with excellent problem-solving skills, logical thinking and a hunger to learn new technologies.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Knowledge of FPGA, optical modules, or hardware validation frameworks.

• Familiarity with Kubernetes and container orchestration.

• Exposure to GitHub/Gitea, Jira, and related DevOps tools.
