Automation Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience in network automation, DevOps/SRE, or operations engineering, ideally within telecom, networking, or satellite ground-segment environments.
• Building automated test frameworks that replace manual validation procedures at scale.
• Defining and lifecycle-managing hardware/software SKUs and associated acceptance criteria.
• Supporting field trials, FOAs, or first-deployment validation for new network products.
• Proven, hands-on competence across network automation; Python, Go, or similar languages; infrastructure as code; event-driven systems; workflow automation; data engineering; machine learning; AIOps; autonomous remediation; digital twins; and policy-driven operations.
• Integrating telemetry pipelines with operational decision engines or automated remediation systems.

Nice To Haves

• Experience building or operating toward a highly autonomous operations model.
• Familiarity with NAS and NCC systems, or equivalent core network/operations-support platforms.
• Experience with predictive/ML-based failure detection or capacity planning models in a production network.
• Familiarity with satellite, RF, or baseband subsystems and their test/validation requirements.
• Experience developing digital twins or simulation models of network/service state.
• Background establishing governance or guardrails for AI-driven or autonomous operational actions.
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build productive relationships across technical and non-technical teams.
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively within cross-functional engineering, product, and operations organizations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a methodical approach to troubleshooting.
• Meticulous attention to detail to ensure the accuracy of technical documentation, test results, and project deliverables.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously.
• Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a team environment.

Responsibilities

• Define, lifecycle-manage, and document the NAS and NCC SKUs within the Gateway.
• Design and build automated test frameworks and scripts for Gateway subsystems, including RF chain, baseband, BPMS, eNB/gNB, networking, and NCC/OSS interfaces.
• Drive pre- and post-deployment validation on each Gateway SKU against golden configuration and performance baselines.
• Partner with RF, hardware, and software engineering teams to align test plans and pass/fail criteria, and support field trials and FOAs.
• Work with Operations and OSS teams to enable end-to-end visibility and management of the Gateway.
• Automate repetitive operating and engineering tasks, and build event-driven remediation workflows.
• Integrate telemetry with operational decision engines, and develop predictive failure and capacity models.
• Create automated incident triage and build engineering assistants for troubleshooting.
• Establish guardrails for AI-driven operational actions and develop digital representations of network and service state (digital twins).
• Automate configuration validation prior to deployment, and measure automation coverage and manual-touch reduction.
