The R&D Engineer SW Quality 3 joins the Brocade Switch and Networking business unit to test, verify, and automate security validation for storage area network solutions. This role involves owning end-to-end quality assurance for Fabric OS security features, including developing automated test suites for CLI and API testing. Key responsibilities include validating SNMP operations, multi-factor authentication using OAuth 2.0 and JWT tokens, firewall policies, and cryptographic parameters like TLSv1.3 ciphers and post-quantum algorithms. The candidate will utilize Python to build automation frameworks while ensuring backward compatibility across Gen 6, 7, and 8 hardware platforms. Required expertise includes Linux, VMware, and AAA infrastructures, alongside core networking protocols like TCP/IP and SSH. The work addresses critical security vulnerabilities, regulatory standards, and complex storage networking requirements.
Translate security technical specifications and regulatory standards into automated and manual test plans.
Design, develop, and maintain robust test automation frameworks and scripts primarily using Python.
Test security policy persistence and cryptographic boundary alignment during firmware migrations across hardware platforms.
Execute test plans for SNMP operations, validating MIB objects, trap generation, and authentication/encryption.
Verify port-level and federated authentication using OAuth 2.0 and JWT tokens with external Identity Providers.
Validate network firewall policies, including input/output rulesets, ephemeral port restrictions, and rate-limiting.
Test secure file transfers (SSH/SCP/SFTP) and audit secure syslog-ng, RAS logs, and PII sanitization.
Verify cryptographic parameters, certificate operations, and post-quantum algorithms like ML-DSA and ML-KEM.
What we're looking for
Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (Computer Science, Cyber Security, Electrical, or equivalent).
Minimum of 8 years of hands-on software testing experience with a heavy focus on security testing and test automation.
High proficiency in Python for test automation, including automating APIs and CLI-based tools.
Robust understanding of software testing methodologies including functional, negative, boundary, performance, scale, and longevity/stress/soak testing.
Solid foundational knowledge of enterprise networking, routing, cryptography, and core communication protocols like TCP/IP, SSL/TLS, SSH, HTTPS, SFTP, and SCP.
Hands-on experience with Linux, Windows, VMware, AAA infrastructure, Federated IDP infrastructure, and vulnerability/intrusive scanner applications.
Solid foundational knowledge of SAN/Storage technologies.
Active Cybersecurity Certification in OSCP, GWAPT, GXPN, CASE, CSSLP, or CISSP.
