This role requires a hands-on engineer with deep expertise in IP networking, AWS cloud connectivity, DevOps practices, and test automation. The successful candidate will configure and manage test environments, execute functional and performance testing, analyze network traffic and logs, identify root causes, and produce comprehensive test and verification reports.\nResponsibilities\nPlan and execute network verification and validation testing across telecom, broadband, WiFi, and IP-based network environments\nPerform functional, integration, regression, interoperability, performance, stability, and end-to-end network testing\nValidate network performance including throughput, latency, jitter, packet loss, availability, failover, and service continuity\nConfigure and troubleshoot IPv4/IPv6, subnetting, VLANs, DHCP, DNS, NAT, routing, VPNs, firewalls, and LAN/WAN connectivity\nConfigure enterprise IP environments involving routers, switches, access points, gateways, VPN endpoints, servers, and test clients\nTest WiFi and broadband connectivity, including gateways, routers, CPE devices, access points, and network performance\nSupport cellular network testing involving LTE/4G, 5G NSA/SA, mobility, handovers, registration, throughput, and service performance\nCapture and analyze network traffic using Wireshark, tcpdump, iPerf, and related packet, protocol, and performance-analysis tools\nTroubleshoot network issues across Layer 2 through Layer 7, identifying whether failures originate from configuration, transport, routing, applications, cloud services, or network infrastructure\nBuild, configure, operate, and maintain repeatable network test environments and testbeds\nCreate comprehensive test strategies, test plans, test cases, verification procedures, defect reports, RCA documentation, and final test reports\nWork with engineering, development, network operations, DevOps, and infrastructure teams to reproduce and resolve defects\nSupport testing of network services and applications deployed within AWS environments\nValidate connectivity between enterprise, telecom, lab, and cloud environments, including hybrid on-premises-to-AWS network paths\nAnalyze connectivity, latency, routing, DNS, firewall, and access-control issues within cloud-connected test environments\nWork within CI/CD-driven test and verification environments\nUse Python, Bash, or similar scripting languages for test execution, log processing, configuration, and automation\nIntegrate network verification activities into automated development and release processes where appropriate\nDevelop verification strategies based on network and system requirements\nTranslate technical requirements into measurable test cases, acceptance criteria, and performance benchmarks\nExecute positive, negative, boundary, failover, resiliency, and performance testing\nVerify network configuration changes, firmware and software releases, and infrastructure updates before production deployment\nPerform regression testing following network or software changes\nDocument defects with sufficient logs, packet captures, reproduction steps, and technical evidence for engineering teams\nTrack defects through investigation, remediation, retesting, and closure\nKey Qualifications\n5+ years of network testing, network verification, telecommunications testing, or network engineering experience\nStrong practical knowledge of TCP/IP networking and Layer 2/Layer 3 concepts\nHands-on experience with IPv4/IPv6, subnetting, VLANs, routing, DHCP, DNS, NAT, VPNs, and firewall concepts\nDemonstrated experience performing network performance testing, including throughput, latency, jitter, and packet-loss analysis\nStrong experience with Wireshark and packet-level troubleshooting\nExperience building, configuring, and maintaining network test environments and testbeds\nDemonstrated experience developing and executing test plans, test cases, regression tests, and verification procedures\nAbility to perform structured root-cause analysis across network, infrastructure, and application layers\nStrong technical reporting and documentation skills\nMust have the legal right to work in the United Kingdom\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience testing LTE/5G, WiFi, broadband, CPE, or telecommunications networks\nAWS networking experience involving VPCs, subnets, security groups, route tables, VPNs, and load balancers\nDevOps or CI/CD experience using Git, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, or similar tools\nPython or Bash scripting experience for test automation and log processing\nDocker and/or Kubernetes exposure\nExperience with iPerf, tcpdump, traceroute, ping, Nmap, SNMP, syslog, network monitoring, or traffic-generation tools\nExperience with telecom test platforms such as QXDM/QCAT, TEMS, XCAL, Actix, Keysight, or Spirent\nFamiliarity with VoIP, SIP, RTP, IMS, VoLTE, or VoWiFi\nExperience working within telecom operators, ISPs, network equipment vendors, or enterprise network environments","description_format":"text","description_chars":5209,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United
