Software Test Engineer (SONIC)

You'll collaborate closely with software developers, working side by side to ensure robust and high-quality product releases. You'll engage with field-facing teams to understand customer deployments and feedback, representing customer use-cases directly to engineering teams. As a test expert, you'll also work with networking experts to validate platform integration, scalability, and performance. Additionally, you will interact with product managers and technical documentation teams to align testing efforts with real-world application and market needs.

What You'll Do

• Use every means possible to find the bugs in the software and/or hardware being developed by your team.
• Write test plans to validate Arista features and products.
• Design test network topologies to validate functionality, performance, stability and scalability of features and products.
• Execute test plans to verify all aspects of the product. Identify defects and validate resolution.
• Work as an agile member of a combined development and test team, running in short cycles to develop functional software in quick iterations.
• Work with the developers in creating their plans for automated tests to complement the exploratory testing that you perform. Be the testing expert for your team.
• Participate in functional specification and software design reviews held by the development team and provide customer centric input.
