Greetings from Wipro
QA / System Test Validation Engineer Coherent optical pluggables role at Wipro
QA role,
Requirement Name : QA / System Test Validation Engineer Coherent optical pluggables and transponder functionality.
Role Summary
The QA Engineer will be responsible for system, functional, integration, regression, and automated validation of optical pluggable products. The engineer should combine strong optical/networking domain knowledge with hands-on laboratory testing and Python-based test automation.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop test strategies, test plans, test cases, and validation procedures for optical pluggable features.
- Perform functional, system, integration, regression, and release validation.
Validate coherent optical pluggables and transponder functionality.
- Validate networking and transport functionality including:
G.709 / OTN
- 100G Ethernet
- 400G Ethernet
- 800G Ethernet
- CMIS
- Perform hands-on testing using optical/networking laboratory equipment.
- Configure test environments and execute end-to-end traffic and optical validation.
- Analyze failures and isolate issues across:
- Firmware
- Hardware
- Optical interfaces
- Network interfaces
- Test environment
- Reproduce customer-reported defects and work closely with developers on root-cause analysis.
- Develop and maintain automated tests using Python / pytest.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines where applicable.
- Perform defect reporting, tracking, verification, and closure.
- Maintain test evidence, execution reports, defect metrics, and release-readiness information.
- Participate in sprint planning, daily scrum, defect triage, technical reviews, and release activities.
- Contribute to test-framework improvements and reusable automation.
- Use approved AI-assisted testing capabilities for test generation, script development, log analysis, and defect investigation where appropriate, with human validation.
Mandatory Technical Skills
- Strong experience in telecom/networking product validation.
- Hands-on experience with
coherent optics and/or optical transponders.
Knowledge of G.709 / OTN
.Experience with high-speed Ethernet: - Knowledge of
CMIS
and optical pluggable management. - Strong system-level debugging and defect-isolation skills.
- Python-based test automation.
- Experience with
pytest
or equivalent automation frameworks. Optical Test Equipment Experience
- Candidates should have hands-on experience with relevant equipment such as:
- Ethernet/traffic generators and analyzers
- Optical Spectrum Analyzer
- Optical power meter
- Variable Optical Attenuator
- Optical switches
- BER/BERT test equipment
- Other coherent-optics/transponder validation equipment
-
Expectations for Senior / Lead QA Engineers
- Define overall feature/system test strategy.
- Review test architecture and automation approach.
- Lead complex optical/networking defect investigations.
- Drive automation coverage and regression effectiveness.
- Mentor other QA engineers.
- Coordinate laboratory dependencies and test readiness.
- Own quality evidence for sprint/release acceptance.
- Work closely with development leads to improve defect prevention and release quality.
