• Working knowledge of Python, demonstrated through coursework, internships, or personal projects.
• Comfort working hands-on with hardware in a lab environment.
• Strong communication skills and genuine interest in a customer-facing technical role.
• Curiosity, coachability, and a team-first approach.
• Ability to travel up to 30% of work time.
• Must be a U.S. Person as defined by U.S. export control regulations.

Nice To Haves

• Internship, co-op, research, or military experience in networking, systems, or test engineering.
• Exposure to routing and data center protocols such as BGP, OSPF, VxLAN, or EVPN, in coursework or lab settings.
• Network certification such as CCNA (or in progress).
• Familiarity with Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, or public cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Experience with packet analysis tools such as Wireshark.
• Awareness of AI/ML data center networking concepts: RoCEv2/RDMA, congestion control, GPU cluster fabrics, or collective communication such as NCCL.
• Experience with REST APIs or test automation frameworks.
• Leadership in student organizations, hackathons, or technical competitions.

Responsibilities

• Learn Keysight's NAS test portfolio and build hands-on expertise with our test platforms, including AI data center test solutions.
• Build and maintain lab test topologies, running protocol and performance validation under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Support product demonstrations and proof-of-concept efforts for customers, taking on more ownership as you ramp.
• Participate in customer meetings and technical discussions, learning how to translate customer requirements into test solutions.
• Write Python scripts to automate test execution, data collection, and reporting.
• Help troubleshoot technical issues during customer evaluations, escalating to senior engineers as needed.
• Develop demonstration materials and customer training content.
• Learn the fundamentals of AI/ML back-end network fabrics, including RoCEv2/RDMA, lossless Ethernet (PFC, ECN, DCQCN), and GPU cluster validation.
• Stay current on networking protocols, AI fabric technologies, and test automation practices.
• Share customer feedback with our Engineering and Product Management teams.

Benefits

• Structured onboarding and mentorship from senior Solution Engineers.
• Hands-on experience with the industry's leading network test platforms, including AresONE 1600GE and Keysight AI Data Center Builder.
