5G Test Automation

5G Test Automation

• Comprehensive Expertise Required

This role demands deep proficiency in telecom core network technologies, specifically focusing on mobile core networks, IMS core, and network architectures associated with product and platform networks. A robust understanding of VoLTE and the 5G Core Service Based Architecture is essential for success in developing and automating test suites that validate these critical network components.

Essential Programming & Automation Skills

Candidates should possess strong programming capabilities in Python and be well-versed in using the Robot Framework for test automation. Proficiency in REST API development and consumption combined with hands-on experience in implementing automation pipelines within CI/CD environments is crucial to streamline testing processes and ensure continuous delivery and integration of network software.

Protocol Knowledge (Beneficial)

While not mandatory, knowledge of network communication protocols such as SIP, Diameter, TCP/IP, GTP, and HTTP/HTTP2 will significantly enhance the ability to understand and troubleshoot network behaviors during automation testing.

Advanced Networking Concepts (Beneficial)

Familiarity with contemporary network innovations such as slicing, edge computing, and orchestration will be advantageous, enabling contributors to design relevant test scenarios that reflect modern network usage patterns.

Cloud & Virtualization Skills (Beneficial)

Experience in cloud deployment and configuration, particularly with platforms like Red Hat Open Stack and Kubernetes, will support automation efforts in virtualized and cloud-native environments, facilitating scalable and robust test infrastructures.

This role represents an opportunity to engage with cutting-edge telecom technologies critical to the evolution of digital communication.
