We are seeking a Quality Assurance Engineer to help validate Gigamon’s network visibility fabric products with a strong focus on automation. In this role, you will work as part of a cross-functional engineering team to design and execute system-level test strategies spanning functional, performance, scalability, and stress scenarios. You will develop and maintain automated test suites across UI/UX and backend services, particularly in virtualized and networking environments. Your work will enhance engineering productivity, expand automation coverage, and improve overall product quality for mission-critical customer deployments.
What you’ll do:
Work closely with functional test teams to develop, refine, and improve overall testing approaches and strategies.
Contribute to system testing strategies with a strong focus on automation, including customer use case–centric, scalability, and performance testing.
Design, develop, and automate functional, usability, performance, scaling, and stress test suites.
Deliver high-quality test automation code using frameworks such as Robot and Python, and tools such as Cypress, to expand and improve automation coverage.
Build and maintain test beds that model customer use cases as well as scalability and performance scenarios, including virtualized environments.
Identify and leverage opportunities to improve engineering productivity, tooling, and QA practices.
What you’ve done:
Earned a BS in Computer Science or a related field.
Built 3–6 years of hands-on quality, software development, and/or test automation experience in virtualization and networking domains.
Gained practical experience with test automation frameworks and tools such as Robot, Python, and Cypress.
Demonstrated experience testing UI/UX performance and usability in web-based or management interfaces.
Worked across various aspects of systems testing and applied established QA processes and methodologies.
Developed knowledge of network management concepts and core protocols such as TCP/IP, L2/L3 protocols, IPv4, IPv6, NAT, and REST.
Built a strong understanding of the TCP/IP stack, HTTP/HTTPS, SSL, and REST services, with hands-on experience testing these technologies.
Validated deliverables in virtualized environments and created test beds for customer use case–centric, scalability, and performance testing.
Who you are:
A quality-focused engineer with a strong interest in delivering robust, reliable products.
A strong collaborator with excellent verbal and written communication skills, comfortable working in cross-functional, dynamic teams.
Detail-oriented and systematic, with a structured approach to designing tests and automation for complex systems.
Proactive and self-driven, continuously looking for ways to enhance test effectiveness, automation coverage, and engineering productivity.
