What you can achieve

• You design and integrate complex system and network environments: planning, configuration and optimisation of Linux-based system solutions as well as modern network technologies such as switching, routing, overlay/underlay and IPv4/IPv6. This also includes the integration of different hardware and software components and ensuring their smooth interaction.
• You automate and optimise processes: development and maintenance of automated test cases with Python, modern CI/CD tools and virtualisation technologies as well as continuous optimisation of processes for system integration, configuration and testing.
• You analyse complex technical challenges: systematic investigation, delimitation and reproduction of errors in the interaction of network, operating system and software. Together with the involved specialist departments and development teams, you develop and validate sustainable solutions.
• You ensure quality and reliability: development of suitable test scenarios, execution of integration and system tests in realistic environments as well as technical evaluation of the results regarding functionality and stability.
• You provide transparency and traceability: structured documentation of system architectures, configurations, technical analyses and test results as a basis for reproducible processes and sustainable knowledge transfer.
• You work interdisciplinarily and solution-oriented: close collaboration with development, system engineering and other specialist departments as well as support in integration work and error analyses directly on site.

What you bring with you

• You have a degree from a university or a higher technical college in a technical field, for example in computer science, electrical engineering, telecommunications or a comparable discipline.
• You have extensive knowledge in developing automated test cases with Python. Additional programming skills in C# and/or C++ are an advantage.
• You have comprehensive experience with network technologies such as switching, routing, overlay/underlay, IPv4 and IPv6 as well as deep expertise in using Linux as a test and network platform.
• You are familiar with modern CI/CD tools and virtualisation environments such as GitLab, Git, Jenkins, Ansible and hypervisor technologies, including the setup and maintenance of corresponding pipelines.
• You bring several years of practical experience in system integration, system testing and technical error analysis and have a good sense for quality, processes and technology.
• You are familiar with modern test and development methods and ideally hold one or more certifications, for example ISTQB Certified Tester (FL/TA), IREB Foundation Level, ITIL Foundation, HERMES or Scrum Master.
• You work in a structured, analytical and independent manner and always keep an overview even in complex system and test environments.
• Teamwork, clear communication and a high willingness to learn are natural for you.
• You bring a regional travel readiness of 60%.
• You have good German language skills in spoken and written form. English skills are an advantage.
