Job description


The Lead Embedded System Verification Engineer will define test infrastructure, review system requirements, develop automated test solutions and perform end-to-end validation of optical transmission systems. Working with cross-functional teams, you will help ensure new and existing products meet performance, quality and customer requirements.
What You'll Do
  • Review system requirements and translate them into comprehensive test plans.
  • Create traceability matrices linking test cases to technical requirements.
  • Establish verification standards, tools and best practices for a new team.
  • Validate optical provisioning, alarms, telemetry and software upgrades across CLI and gRPC interfaces.
  • Conduct end-to-end testing of optical transmission systems, including:
    • Signal-integrity validation.
    • Network resilience, protection switching and failure recovery.
    • Layer 1 performance, including BER, Q-factor and latency.
    • Layer 0 performance, including optical power, spectrum and OSNR.
  • Develop and maintain Python-based test automation.
  • Implement CI/CD regression pipelines using Jenkins or GitLab.
  • Run daily sanity tests and software/hardware regression testing.
  • Develop test cases for new features and customer-reported issues.
  • Produce test-summary and project-status reports for each release.
  • Collaborate with software, hardware, systems and product teams throughout development.

About You...
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science or a related discipline.
  • Five or more years of experience in communications-system verification and testing.
  • Experience automating northbound interface testing using NETCONF/YANG, CLI or SNMP.
  • Experience testing Linux-based embedded systems.
  • Strong Python scripting skills and familiarity with Visual Studio Code.
  • Knowledge of network protocols, including TCP/IP, Ethernet and OTN.
  • Experience with DWDM technologies such as EDFA, WSS, OCM and OTDR.
  • Practical experience using oscilloscopes, optical spectrum analysers and other laboratory debugging equipment.
  • Ability to work independently, manage priorities and deliver against demanding schedules.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
  • Experience with 100G, 400G and 800G optical transponder modules would be advantageous. Knowledge of Chinese is also an asset.
