What you’ll do:

As a Test Architect, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the quality and performance of our next-generation networking solutions across AWAN Products (MX, ACX, and PTX platforms), Multi-Feature Testing (MFT), and JVD (Juniper Validated Design) testing. You will drive the end-to-end test strategy, leveraging advanced Gen AI/ML-based automation to ensure robustness, scalability, and reliability that meet both internal goals and customer expectations. You will collaborate with the industry’s top talent, working across cross-functional teams to architect comprehensive testing frameworks and resolve complex issues with precision. This is an opportunity to lead innovation in testing methodologies and deliver real value to global network infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

1. Architect Scalable Regression Testing SolutionsDesign and implement end-to-end regression testing architectures for AWAN products—including MX, ACX, and PTX platforms for both Multi-Feature Testing (MFT) and Juniper Validated Design (JVD) testing, delivering comprehensive, actionable insights that exceed internal requirements and add significant value to our customers.
2. Strategic and Holistic Networking Product ValidationLead the creation of long-term, robust test strategies across AWAN platforms, ensuring the sustained quality, performance, and scalability of our networking products.
3. Advanced Debugging and Issue DiagnosisExpert-level debugging skills to precisely isolate root causes of failures quickly, distinguishing between software defects, hardware anomalies, and configuration issues within complex MX, ACX, and PTX environments.
4. 360-Degree Technical Assessment and OptimizationConduct thorough evaluations of regression test results for MFT, JVD, and platform-specific testing efforts, identifying opportunities to optimize test coverage, reduce operational and capital expenditures, and improve overall testing efficiency.
5. End-to-End Test Workflow Ownership Across PlatformsMaintain deep expertise in regression testing workflows across multiple technology levels and diverse platforms—driving alignment and consistency in testing for AWAN prodcuts.
6. Resolution of Complex Testing ChallengesLeverage extensive experience to resolve intricate issues in MFT/JVD regression testing pipelines, ensuring adherence to the highest standards of product quality and reliability.
7. Enhanced Reporting for Regression OutcomesInnovate and restructure regression test result reporting mechanisms for MFT, JVD, and platform tests to deliver clear, comprehensive, and trustworthy insights to stakeholders and customers.
8. Collaborative Analysis with Cross-Functional TeamsWork closely with Development, Test, and Automation teams to analyse test coverage gaps, drive root cause analysis, and improve debugging efficiency in complex network environments.
9. JUNOS/EVO Platform ExpertiseUtilize prior experience with JUNOS/EVO systems to inform test design, debugging, and validation efforts across AWAN platforms for MFT/JVD test cycles.
10. Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Continuous ImprovementLead RCA initiatives to identify coverage gaps within MFT and JVD regression suites, implementing corrective actions that enhance test effectiveness and product robustness.
11. Leadership in Test Automation FrameworksSpearhead the design, enhancement, and scaling of automation frameworks and tools using Python, Go, and GenAI/ML technologies—accelerating regression testing cycles for MX, ACX, PTX, and related programs.
12. Mentorship and Innovation AdvocacyServe as a thought leader and mentor on emerging testing technologies—including Generative AI and machine learning—fostering a culture of innovation and continuous professional growth within the test organization.
