Job Role: Automation Engineer IV
Location: Menlo Park, CA (Onsite)
Duration: 5 Months
Background:
We are hiring contractors to expand test and automation for solutions involving BGP++, Open/R, Fabrics, Switches and Optics.
Responsibilities:
- Test and automate end-to-end network test cases (control-plane, data-plane, performance, stress/soak) using the inhouse test framework used by DNE team.
- Build and run traffic-generation tests with Ixia/Keysight in lab environments.
- Convert qualification test plans into automated, repeatable suites and onboard them as CI/CD conveyor nodes (DC/BB push pipelines) that gate releases.
- Triage test failures for flakiness vs. legitimate regressions; file and track issues to the appropriate oncall.
- Maintain and improve existing automation, test configs, and lab tooling;
- Collaborate with Netcastle (lab infra), Routing, and FBOSS XFN partners to unblock coverage.
Must Have:
- 5-8+ years in software/network test automation or QA engineering.
- Bachelors of Science and/or network engineering
- Strong Python (test frameworks, scripting, debugging).
- Hands-on networking fundamentals: BGP, routing/forwarding, L2/L3, data-plane vs. control-plane concepts.
- CI/CD pipeline experience and comfort working in a Linux environment with source control.
- Experience with traffic generators (Ixia, Keysight, or equivalent).
Nice-to-have Skills:
- Exposure to Open/R, BGP, ECMP/UCMP, or large-scale DC fabric topologies.
- Experience qualifying network hardware/optics or vendor NOS (e.g., Arista EOS).
- Familiarity with lab automation, device provisioning, or scale/performance testing.
