Senior Networking SME who knows the Lab Management
Technical/Functional Skills
The Lab Engineer supports execution by building, maintaining, documenting, and operating the lab environment, and by reporting status, issues, and recommendations accordingly.
This position is primarily focused on network infrastructure within the trading lab (having working knowledge of basic server and compute operations is a plus). The role operates alongside - not in place of - the existing lab support structure
Experience Required
Build/Manage feature testing, interoperability and certification testbeds in lab - requiring knowledge of Cisco/Arista/FPGA HW platforms, various optics types, Ixia for traffic generation. Some of vendors and technologies the resource will be working with are noted next, but not limited. The successful resource will have knowledge across many of these:
Networking & Security: Cisco, Arista, F5, Fortinet, A10, Avocent, OpenGear, NVIDIA
Timing & Synchronization: Meinberg, SAFRAN, Spectrum, GPS antennas, PTP, NTP, PPS
Optics & Cabling: Optical and copper transceivers (SFP+, QSFP+, QSFP28, DACs), fiber (single/multi-mode), structured cabling, optical taps
Traffic Generation & Packet Capture: Ixia, Spirent, Corvil, FMADIO
Compute & NICs: Server platforms, AMD, Intel, Cisco network interface cards, virtualization (ESXi/ KVM)
Operating Systems & Out-of-Band Access: Redhat Enterprise Linux, NX-OS, IOS XE, Avocent, EOS , jump hosts
Build lab environments to match provided production trading plant topologies and system connectivity requirements.
Executing limited certifications/Interop testing, which will entail overall test setup/ test plan/ execution/ reporting and presenting lab test results.
Provide requested network connections in timely manner for fast moving trading plant topology reproduction in lab
Support multiple concurrent requests with timelines driven by project go-live dates.
Detailed documentation of the lab testbeds and its upkeep, including testing equipment connections
Design, present and implement new lab processes and procedures.
Lab / lab gear usage scheduling
Adhere to lab policies and process for hardware and optics allocation and inventory management
Identify process gaps, recommend improvements, and implement changes as directed.
Complete Lab asset (and modules eg line cards) inventory mgt, registration to ReadyWorks, nmdB and any future mgt platform identified (eg NetBox/Nautobot (DCIM/IPAM), ReadyWorks (asset tracking), NMDB (network device inventory), Infoblox (DNS/IPAM), Forward Networks (topology/config), and any future platforms.
Server/Compute Lead (server infrastructure, NIC config, server-to-switch connectivity
Lifecycle mgt of lab DUT gear (EoL/EoS/ EoVSS/ LDoS) including ensuring they run the latest certified code and/ or code under cert as needed
Lifecycle mgt of lab test gear (eg Ixia) , ixa/ testgear code upkeep, scheduling, virtual routers (Arista Cloud Vision CVP = used for bug mgt), simulated testbeds (eg CML)
Manage lab capacity, removal of no longer devices to free up rack space, track inbound to the lab devices, manage their physical installation, the DNS registration, out of band access, cable mgt & cleanup, produce monthly lab capacity and usage report
Automated inventory mgt for lab related needs (cables, optics, wraps, bins, terminal servers,jump hosts ) reporting and proactive inventory replenishment
Lab data wipes as needed
Monthly status
Roles & Responsibilities
