JOB TITLE: Network Test Automation Engineer Ethernet Systems DV
LOCATION: Foster City, CA (Onsite)
PAY RANGE: $87 - $97/hr.
DURATION: 6 Months


TOP 3 SKILLS:
  • Strong hands-on experience with Python-based test automation frameworks (e.g., pytest) and Bash scripting for network/system validation
  • Deep understanding of networking protocols and concepts, including the OSI model, TCP/IP, UDP, ICMP, ARP, SNMP, and VLAN (802.1Q)
  • Proven experience using network debugging and diagnostic tools such as Wireshark, tcpdump, iPerf, traceroute, and ethtool for troubleshooting across the stack

Job Description:
The Advanced Hardware Engineering team is looking for a Network Test Automation Engineer to build and maintain automation frameworks that validate Ethernet-connected sensor networks on our AV platform. You'll partner with Systems, Integration, Software, and Sensor engineers to deliver scalable network validation solutions.

Responsibilities:
  • Build and maintain Python-based test automation frameworks for Ethernet compliance, integration, and performance validation
  • Develop PCAP/tcpdump tooling and fault injection scripts to validate ARP, ICMP, FCS, link-loss, and failure recovery test cases
  • Configure and manage VLAN-segmented (802.1Q) topologies across bench and HIL test setups, including power supplies, DAQ systems, and relay controls
  • Validate interoperability between network switches and sensors; ensure compliance with security and PPAP standards for Ethernet ECUs
  • Own technical documentation for frameworks, test methodologies, and system configurations

Required Qualifications:
  • BS/MS in CS, EE, or related field; 6+ years of relevant experience
  • Strong knowledge of the OSI model, TCP/IP, UDP, ICMP, ARP, SNMP, and VLAN (802.1Q) configuration
  • Advanced Python and Bash scripting with proven test automation framework experience (e.g., pytest)
  • Proficiency with network diagnostic tools: Wireshark, iPerf, tcpdump, traceroute, ethtool
  • Solid CI/CD and DevOps experience; ability to debug across the full OSI stack

Bonus Qualifications:
  • DoIP and UDS over IP (highly preferred)
  • Automotive Ethernet standards: 100BASE-T1, BroadR-Reach, H-MTD/FAKRA connectors
  • Time sync protocols: IEEE 1588v2/PTP, 802.1AS in bench/air-gapped environments
  • Advanced Linux networking and HIL infrastructure experience (DAQ, relay-controlled power rails)


BENEFITS SUMMARY: Individual compensation is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. Compensation details listed in this posting reflect the base hourly rate or annual salary only, unless otherwise stated. In addition to base compensation, full-time roles are eligible for Medical, Dental, Vision, Commuter and 401K benefits with company matching.
