Job description
As a Technical Lead, this role focuses on the validation of advanced access networks, with Layer 2(VLAN, ERPS, LAG etc..,), Layer 3(ipv4/ipv6 forwarding, OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, PIM, MPLS(L2 VPN, LDP, RSVP), networking control and/or data plane software/protocols
Responsibilities:
- Apply expertise in IP-based networks and Layer 2/Layer 2+ Access protocols to validate software for the Lightspan family , ensuring it meets required standards.
- Expertise in tools needed for developing automated test cases
- Leverage customer feedback to continually refine and enhance product features, ensuring robustness in live deployments.
- Collaborate closely with R&D, product management, and customer support to ensure a seamless development process and timely delivery of features.
- Deepen expertise in a subset of L2 & L2+ Access protocols, including but not limited to Ethernet, Layer 2 Forwarding VLAN, QoS, Multicast, DHCP, PPPoE, 802.1x, Radius, CFM, ERPS, xSTP, LLDP, LACP, ANCP, etc., and stay updated with emerging network technologies.
- Mentor and guide junior team members, gaining leadership experience and overseeing projects with limited risks.
- Enhance troubleshooting skills by diagnosing and resolving complex hardware and software issues across customer environments.
