## Description

As a Sr Network Test Engineer , Data Center Fabrics, you will design, build, and execute test plans for functional/feature validation, customer use cases, and proof-of-concept engagements on data center switching platforms.

You will work primarily from an HPE office and collaborate with development teams to reproduce issues and verify fixes.

Key responsibilities:

- Design, develop, and execute comprehensive test plans to validate Junos/Sonic functionality on Broadcom-based switching platforms.

- Replicate customer network architectures in the lab, including multi-stage IP Clos fabrics.

- Perform functional, interoperability, scale, and convergence testing of BGP-based underlays and EVPN-VXLAN overlays.

- Test AI/ML data center fabric use cases, including RoCEv2 traffic profiles and lossless Ethernet behavior.

- Validate IPv4 and IPv6 unicast/multicast forwarding, dual-stack designs, and IPv6-only fabric use cases.

- Configure and troubleshoot routing and overlay protocols.

- Use traffic generators to build traffic profiles, measure throughput, latency, packet loss, and convergence times.

- Identify, isolate, and document software defects.

- Author clear, detailed test plans, test reports, and PoC summary documents.

- Automate repetitive test workflows using Python, pytest, Ansible, or similar frameworks.

- Present test findings and demonstrations to customers during PoC reviews and technical deep-dives.

Requirements:

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Computer Science, or a related field.

- 7-10 years of experience in network software/testing/engineering/TAC/escalation role.

- Strong understanding of IPCLOS fabric architecture, AI/ML fabric, BGP, EVPN-VXLAN, and IPv6 networking protocols.

- Strong hands-on CLI experience with at least one major data center NOS.

- Strong hands-on traffic generation and analysis tools.

- Strong troubleshooting methodology.

- Strong analytical, debugging, and documentation skills.

Preferred qualifications:

- Experience running customer PoC labs or certification/qualification/functional testing.

- Hands-on experience with AI fabric benchmarking and validation tools.

- Familiarity with emerging standards such as Ultra Ethernet.

- Familiarity with 100G/400G/800G optics.

- Scripting and automation experience.

- Exposure to telemetry and monitoring.
