EgyBell_Facility_Management_Solutions

EgyBell is hiring a Test Engineer for a multinational telecommunications company.
This role requires a strong background in
network protocol testing, packet-level analysis, and Python-based test automation framework development
. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience testing network traffic, validate protocol behavior, and build automated test frameworks for functional, regression, and performance testing.
Key requirements include
Python test automation framework development, Wireshark/tcpreplay, Napatech or comparable SmartNIC hardware, Bamboo, Docker, Ansible/Terraform, and C/C++ codebase understanding.
Experience with telecom/network protocols is also relevant.
What you will need:
<ul>
<li>Advanced
Python
scripting - building and maintaining test automation frameworks (not just writing scripts): reusable test libraries, fixtures, and CI-integrated suites.</li>
<li>Ability to design automated test frameworks that validate protocol behavior, packet-processing pipelines, and service/API boundaries end-to-end.</li>
<li>Experience with traffic generation/replay tools (e.g.
tcpreplay
) and packet capture/analysis tools (
Wireshark
) for functional and regression testing of protocol state machines.</li>
<li>Load and performance testing experience - benchmarking throughput/latency under sustained traffic.</li>
<li>Experience with
Napatech
(or comparable SmartNIC) capture hardware for generating and validating high-speed test traffic.</li>
<li>CI/CD
experience with
Atlassian Bamboo<ul>
<li>integrating automated suites into build pipelines, triggering/monitoring runs, reporting results.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Docker
container experience - standing up and debugging test environments inside containers.</li>
<li>Infrastructure-as-code exposure (
Ansible/Terraform
) - provisioning repeatable RHEL test environments.</li>
<li>Test case design and defect tracking (Jira) - clear, reproducible bug reports and maintained regression suites.</li>
<li>Ability to translate technical specifications and requirements into test plans that catch edge cases before release.</li>
<li>Uses AI assistants (Claude, Copilot, or equivalent) for test case generation, test script authoring, and documentation - with review discipline.</li>
<li>Fluent English communication skills, both written and spoken.</li>
<li>6 to 8 years of experience as a Test Engineer or in a similar position</li>
</ul>
Preferred qualifications:
<ul>
<li>Exposure to telecom/network protocol domain work and experience with mobile core network signaling protocols across 2G/3G/4G (SS7/MAP, Diameter, GTP-C/GTP-U).</li>
<li>Enough C/C++ fluency to read the codebase under test and understanding what the code is doing.</li>
<li>Familiarity with profiling tools (perf, valgrind) to help distinguish functional bugs from performance regressions.</li>
<li>Prior experience testing network probes, DPI systems, or similar telecom infrastructure.</li>
</ul>
Who you are:
<ul>
<li>Meticulous and detail oriented.</li>
<li>Strong ownership and accountability - follows through without being chased.</li>
<li>Collaborative team player who communicates clearly and effectively.</li>
<li>Committed to quality, reliability, and continuous improvement.</li>
<li>Self-motivated and proactive.</li>
</ul>
