Requirements
Job Purpose:
- The Broadband Devices Tester is responsible for validating, testing, and ensuring the performance, quality, and stability of Customer Premises Equipment (CPE)—including modems, routers, gateways, Wi-Fi access points, and Set-Top Boxes.
- This role bridges the gap between raw hardware and end-user performance by simulating real-world network loads, troubleshooting firmware defects, and optimising wireless protocols.
Key Responsibilities:
Device & Firmware Validation:
- Execute automated and manual test plans for new CPE hardware, ONT/ONU modules, and cable modems to ensure flawless functional operations.
Network Protocol Testing:
- Verify embedded systems behavior using protocols such as TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, NAT, IPv4/IPv6, PPPoE, and TR-069/TR-369 remote management configurations.
Wi-Fi Performance Evaluation:
- Analyze wireless performance under varying conditions for Wi-Fi 6, 6E, and Wi-Fi 7 standards, checking for packet loss, signal drop-offs, and roaming throughput.
Automation & Scripting:
- Develop, run, and maintain test automation scripts using Python (Pytest) or Shell scripts to scale firmware regression testing.
Traffic Simulation & Debugging:
- Utilize traffic generation tools and packet sniffers to replicate multi-gigabit traffic loads, identifying bottlenecks and bufferbloat issues.
- Defect Lifecycle Management: Log detailed defect reports with system logs, Wireshark traces, and console outputs.
- Collaborate closely with engineering teams to reproduce and resolve core issues.
Required Qualifications & Experience Education:
- Bachelor’s degree or Diploma in Telecommunications, Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
Experience:
- 2–5 years of specialized experience in broadband device validation, ISP network engineering, or embedded system QA environments.
Technical Knowledge:
- Strong understanding of DOCSIS standards, GPON/FTTx network architectures, and IEEE 802.11 wireless specs.
Technical Skill Set & ToolsTesting Hardware:
- Traffic generators (Ixia, Spirent), Optical Power Meters (OPM), and attenuators.
Software Tools:
- Wireshark, iPerf, SNMP, SSH/Telnet clients, and Linux command-line utilities.
Automation Frameworks:
- Python (Pytest), Boardfarm, and CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI).
Key CompetenciesAnalytical Thinking:
- Exceptional log analysis and system level troubleshooting capabilities.
Communication:
- Ability to cleanly document abstract software bugs for hardware vendors and development teams.
Adaptability:
- Eagerness to quickly learn next-generation consumer networking technologies.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene
Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
