Job Responsibilities
Automation Architecture & Framework Development
Own and enhance the GMOP automation framework, ANT-based test automation, and related tooling.
Develop reusable, modular, environment-aware automation solutions for MSP/proxy and mobile packet core lab environments.
Maintain a single adaptable codebase across environments, products, and releases using Git-based workflows.
Create end-to-end test cases, post-validation templates, CLI health checks, and RegEx-based validation logic.
Promote scalable automation standards across MSP operations, lab certification, and production-readiness workflows.
Procedure Analysis & Automation Strategy
Analyze vendor procedures and certification requirements to identify repeatable, automatable activities.
Convert procedure-specific tasks into reusable automation patterns for pre-checks, validations, post-checks, and recurring operations.
Participate in sprint planning and design discussions to ensure automation objectives, requirements, and deliverables are clearly tracked.
Use Jira and related project management tools to track requirements, designs, defects, and delivery progress.
Apply engineering judgment to keep complex or context-specific activities manual where automation is not appropriate.
Systems Integration & Operational Consistency
Bridge vendor deployment procedures with internal automation platforms, ANT, Azure DevOps, and lab certification workflows.
Generalize release-specific requirements into reusable automation solutions across MSP, proxy, SMF/UPF, SGW/PGW, and related packet core domains.
Enable consistent execution across deployment environments, network domains, and lab-to-production readiness activities.
Collaborate with platform, testing, infrastructure, and operations teams to troubleshoot automation, tooling, and mobility infrastructure issues.
Align automation with operational objectives, enterprise standards, Agile delivery practices, and quality expectations.
Technical Leadership & Team Development
Provide technical direction and mentorship to engineers across automation, lab certification, and mobile packet core domains.
Develop technical depth in 3GPP 5G SA SMF/UPF and LTE/NSA SGW/PGW workflows.
Drive adoption of automation technologies, operational efficiencies, and quality-focused engineering practices.
Foster continuous learning, innovation, technical excellence, and a win-as-one team culture.
