Job Description/ Responsibilities:
• Lab Validation & Testing
o Receive network use cases from architecture, engineering, or business stakeholders and translate them into structured lab test plans covering functional, performance, resiliency, and failure-scenario testing
o Execute high-touch validation of enterprise networking technologies including switching, routing, wireless, SD-WAN, firewalling, and network automation platforms

o Logical and physical topology diagrams
o Device configurations (sanitized and version-controlled)
o Step-by-step test procedures and results
o Pass/fail summaries with root cause analysis for failures
o Go/No-Go recommendations with supporting evidence
o Perform rack and stack of lab equipment when required — cable management, power sequencing, console access setup, and physical layer verification
• Design & Documentation
o Produce clear, detailed lab reports that can be handed directly to production engineering teams for deployment
o Maintain up-to-date physical and logical topology documentation for all active lab topologies
o Document configurations using version control (Git) so all tested configs are traceable and reusable
o Build and maintain a library of validated reference architectures and design patterns
• Vendor Collaboration
o Partner with network vendors (Cisco, Arista, Juniper, Palo Alto, Aruba, etc.) to conduct joint proof-of-concept testing and feature validation
