Job description

Req ID: 136120

Remote Position: Yes 
Region: Americas 
Country: USA

Summary

We are seeking an experienced network automation script specialist to drive innovative test transformation. Your mission is to create an automation script framework that enables the development of new automation scripts that can seamlessly integrate into existing software development pipelines to intelligently verify PR code changes. This person will analyze existing network automation scripts and develop a list of automation script enhancements to optimize the verification phase of the product SDLC process. This includes using AI to design, develop, and enhance new and existing automation scripts. Experience with integrating agentic AI workflows into automation scripts to provide test failure problem determination and suggest possible remediations is a must. 

You will be part of a team that collaborates with the larger DevTestOps Team and software development teams to build an immersive, intuitive, robust, and full-featured control center for managing and operating world-wide network automation test infrastructure. The Test Automation Control Center will consist of a set of cloud-hosted applications controlling multiple physical on-prem systems distributed worldwide. Control capabilities cover scheduling, monitoring, analyzing, and reporting tests from the initial developer Pull Requests to the final release regression validation. Managed equipment includes the entire range of Celestica switches, high-performance IXIA traffic generators, and a variety of equipment commonly found in data center racks. You will use your knowledge of AI agents to integrate intelligent workflows that select the best automation test cases to run, diagnose test failures for rapid resolution, and analyze test coverage to provide predictive product quality assessment.

Detailed Description

You are someone who views a "test failure" not as a manual ticket to close, but as a data point for an AI agent to analyze. You prefer building ecosystems over writing one-off scripts, and you are comfortable investigating product failures one minute and integrating agentic AI agents into a CI/CD pipeline the next.

You will be required to work Hybrid in the Celestica office of your choice.  Locations include Richardson or Austin, Texas OR San Jose, CA.
