Description

Design, develop, and execute comprehensive test plans for SONiC functionality on Broadcom-based switching platforms. Validate advanced L2/L3 features including BGP, OSPF, VXLAN, EVPN, QinQ, and multicast. Verify SAI integration and ASIC driver behavior. Automate functional, regression, scale, and performance test cases using Python and Robot Framework. Perform deep-dive debugging across ASIC, NOS, and control/data plane layers. Collaborate with the SONiC open-source community to contribute fixes and upstream improvements. Validate optical modules across various speeds, breakout configurations, and transceiver management protocols (CMIS, DOM).
