TL;DR · R&D Engineer SW Quality III

R&D Engineer SW Quality 3 will join the Brocade Switch and Networking business unit to test, verify, and automate security validation for storage area network based solutions. The role involves verifying Fabric OS, hardware switching platforms, and management APIs while developing robust automated test suites for functional, performance, and security testing. Key responsibilities include designing Python-based automation frameworks for CLI and API testing, validating SNMP operations, and ensuring backward compatibility across firmware migrations. The candidate will also validate multi-factor authentication, firewall policies, secure file transfers, and cryptographic parameters including quantum-safe algorithms. Required skills include proficiency in Python, Linux, and Windows environments, along with knowledge of TCP/IP, SSL/TLS, and SSH protocols. The role addresses critical security features within the storage infrastructure, ensuring compliance with standards like FIPS and Common Criteria while managing defects through standard tools.

What you'll do

  • Develop and maintain automated test frameworks and scripts using Python to automate CLI and API testing.
  • Translate security technical specifications and regulatory standards into comprehensive manual and automated test plans.
  • Verify hardware and software backward compatibility for security policies and cryptographic boundaries during firmware migrations.
  • Design and execute test plans to validate SNMP operations, MIB objects, and trap generation across various builds.
  • Validate authentication protocols including multi-factor authentication (MFA), federated identity providers, and OAuth 2.0 tokens.
  • Test network security features such as firewall policies, SSH/SCP/SFTP functionality, and secure syslog reporting.
  • Verify cryptographic parameters, certificate management operations, and quantum-safe algorithms like ML-DSA and ML-KEM.
  • Identify, document, and track software defects and security vulnerabilities using industry-standard tools.

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 focus on security and automation.
  • High proficiency in Python for test automation, including automating APIs and CLI-based tools.
  • Active Cybersecurity Certification required (e.g., OSCP, GWAPT, GXPN, CASE, CSSLP, or CISSP).
  • Solid knowledge of enterprise networking, cryptography, and protocols like TCP/IP, SSL/TLS, SSH, and SFTP.
  • Experience with Linux, Windows, VMware, AAA infrastructure, and Federated IDP systems.
  • Foundational knowledge of SAN/Storage technologies and protocols such as Fibre Channel, FCIP, and FICON.
  • Familiarity with security frameworks (STRIDE), vulnerability ranking (CVSS), and tools like Qualys, Nessus, or Burp Suite.
