Description

  • Design, build, and execute test plans for Layer 2 switching, Layer 3 routing/IP forwarding, and advanced TSN/AVB features.
  • Configure and operate commercial network test equipment to emulate real-world topologies and edge cases.
  • Capture, analyze, and root-cause protocol-level issues using packet analysis tools and structured debugging.
  • Validate time synchronization, traffic scheduling, stream reservation, frame preemption, redundancy, and DCB features against IEEE/AVnu specifications.
  • Distinguish DUT issues from test-tool limitations and drive resolution with vendor and internal teams.
  • Build and maintain test automation using scripting and REST APIs.
  • Document test topologies, configurations, results, and defects for cross-team visibility.
  • Partner with firmware, hardware, and systems engineering teams throughout development.

  • Strong networking foundation in Layer 2 Ethernet switching and Layer 3/IP fundamentals.
  • Working knowledge of AVB/TSN protocol concepts and customer use cases in automotive, industrial, or pro-AV.
  • Hands-on experience with commercial network test platforms such as Ixia/Keysight, Spirent, or similar.
  • Strong packet-level debugging skills using Wireshark and Linux-based test environments.
  • Scripting and automation experience with Python and REST API-driven configuration.
  • Excellent troubleshooting judgment to isolate DUT, test tool, or methodology issues.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
  • 10+ years experience required for the role.
  • Pre-silicon emulation or FPGA-based validation experience is a plus.
  • Experience with Data Center Bridging features is preferred.
  • Automotive Ethernet or industrial TSN profile experience is preferred.
  • Familiarity with vendor REST/Python automation frameworks such as RestPy is preferred.
