UTS conducts background checks for all client-facing personnel. How to Apply Submit a résumé and a short note on relevant lab, certification, and automation experience About the Engagement: UTS is placing a senior network test engineer with the global network engineering team of a leading financial services firm in New York. The team designs and deploys the firm's data and voice network infrastructure: privately owned data centers across the globe, campus and branch networks, the global WAN and metro core, public cloud connectivity, the internet edge, and low-latency trading-floor networks. This role sits in the team's network lab. Its purpose is to make sure that every piece of hardware, every code release, and every patch or SMU is proven safe and performant before it reaches production - and to automate as much of that proving as possible. Role Summary The Senior Network & CNI Test Engineer tests and certifies network hardware and software to ensure performance, reliability, and compliance across campus, branch, WAN/MAN, data center, and low-latency environments. The role combines deep routing and switching expertise with Linux, Python/Ansible automation, Kubernetes and container networking (CNI), and eBPF-based observability to design, test, automate, and operate modern enterprise and cloud-native network infrastructure at scale. A large part of the work is rapid, risk-driven certification: when a CVE or vendor advisory lands, this engineer runs the targeted, expedited testing that confirms a given patch or code train can be safely applied to production devices. The rest is building the standards, templates, test designs, and automation that raise the team's coverage and speed over time. Key Responsibilities: Lab testing and certification • Design and execute functional, performance, and interoperability tests for routers, switches, and related network hardware in a lab environment. • Certify new code releases, patches, and SMUs across IOS, IOS-XE, NX-OS, and (to a lesser extent) IOS-XR, including bug scrubs and release-note review. • Run rapid, targeted certifications in response to CVE and risk-driven events so patches can be applied to production with confidence. • Test interoperability with IP appliances such as firewalls and load balancers (F5, A10, Fortinet, SRX) and with access-control mechanisms such as MAB and 802.1X. • Use traffic generators and test tools (IXIA, Spirent) and packet analysis (tcpdump, Wireshark) to evaluate functionality, throughput, latency, and reliability. • Detect, diagnose, and clearly document hardware faults, performance regressions, and compatibility issues found during testing. • Produce a design document and engineering guidelines for each certification, and present findings and recommendations to the wider engineering organization. Automation • Identify automation opportunities in the test workflow and build automated test solutions using Python, Ansible, vendor and platform APIs, and Infrastructure-as-Code techniques. • Create, maintain, and extend test automation to improve coverage, repeatability, and turnaround time; integrate Ansible with the Robot Framework where appropriate. • Manage test code and configuration templates in Git/GitHub. Security and risk • Apply cybersecurity principles and CVE analysis to evaluate vulnerabilities, assess operational and business risk, and support remediation and patch certification. • Perform security validation of network platforms, including hardening, routing-protocol encryption, SSH, and out-of-band design considerations. Engineering standards and vendor engagement • Create and maintain engineering standards, best-practice documentation, and configuration templates based on industry and technical trends. • Provide platform and design guidance to peer engineering teams; track bugs and vulnerabilities and provide expert-level support to the production environment. • Evaluate vendor offerings and proofs of concept; manage vendor relationships, coordinate testing, and communicate upcoming products and features of interest to the business. • Own the software and hardware testing of future code releases and drive decisions about testing improvements.
