Senior QA Automation (Python) with Networking

About the Position

We are seeking a Senior QA Automation (Python) with Networking expert to join our team in Bengaluru, India, focusing on API and CLI testing.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain long-running automated test scenarios (soak tests spanning days/weeks) using Spirent TestCenter APIs, covering performance, scalability, convergence, and protocol stability under sustained traffic load.
• Derive automation requirements from manual functional test specifications and hardware validation reports.
• Collaborate with the development team to translate software requirements into high-quality test automation suites.
• Develop automation for the end-to-end solution validation and integrate the automation for seamless validation.
• Implement, execute, and debug Python automated test scripts on Linux-based platforms.
• Analyze and manage automated regression test execution failures.
• Debug and troubleshoot complex issues and work closely with the engineering team on the failures and validate the fixes.
• Integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate closely with hardware and software development teams to triage test failures and drive quality improvements.
• Reproduce and root-cause hardware/firmware defects through systematic test isolation.
• Make use of AI tooling (e.g., code generation, code review, automation, agentic AI) given customer-specific heavy usage patterns.
• Review customer deployments and customer-found issues and address any gaps in the test coverage.

Requirements

• Must have

  • Overall QA background of 6+ years, with 4+ years in testing networking domain-related applications.
  • QA Automation experience in an Agile/SCRUM team, focused on API and/or CLI testing (4+ years); Python strongly preferred (other comparable languages considered).
  • Automated Testing for API or CLI 4+ years, including experience in test harness or framework development.
  • Hands-on experience automating Spirent TestCenter (STC) using its Python API - specifically StcPython native API, the REST-based stcrestclient library (py-stcrestclient), or HLTAPI (High Level Test API); ability to script traffic port configuration, device emulation, traffic stream setup, result subscription, and statistics retrieval.
  • Familiarity with STC Lab Server architecture: connecting to chassis, managing test sessions, and executing automated sequences without GUI dependency.
  • Experience writing and maintaining long-running automation suites (soak tests of days/weeks duration) with robust result collection, error handling, and reporting.
  • Working knowledge of L2/L3 protocols exercised through STC: Ethernet, VLAN/QinQ, BGP (v4/v6), OSPF (v2/v3), IS-IS, MPLS/LDP, BFD, and data-center protocols such as VXLAN and EVPN; ability to configure emulated/simulated router topologies for scale and convergence testing.
  • Familiarity with RFC 2544 / RFC 2889 benchmarking methodology for throughput, latency, frame loss, and back-to-back testing.
  • Practical experience with AI tooling in day-to-day activities to improve productivity and delivery quality (code generation, code review, automation, agentic AI, MCP usage, etc.).
  • Experience in performance, scale, and convergence testing; ability to analyze and improve performance and convergence at system level.
  • Ability to develop and publish solution validation documents and test reports.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills; able to communicate effectively across QA and Development teams.
  • Highly motivated, self-driven, and able to collaborate cross-functionally to meet challenging goals.

• Nice to have

  • Knowledge of Linux OS variants (Ubuntu, Debian).
  • CI/CD (Jenkins, GitLab, or similar) and issue tracking tools (JIRA, Confluence).
  • Knowledge of STC Tcl API or legacy Tcl/HLTAPI scripting (useful for migrating existing test suites to Python).
  • Familiarity with additional traffic generation or network testing tools (e.g., IXIA/Keysight, Wireshark, Iperf).

We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Opportunity to work with the latest networking technologies and concepts
• Access to training and certifications
• Collaboration with an international team of professionals
