This position will work closely with Product Managers and R&D to bring customer needs into next-generation hardware and software test and measurement solutions.
Responsibilities
Serve as trusted technical advisor to hyperscalers, NEMs, silicon vendors, and AI data center operators, leading technical discussions and architecture reviews on AI data center network validation.
Define and document test methodologies for AI data center testing, covering congestion behavior (ECN, PFC, RoCEv2), throughput, tail latency, load balancing, adaptive routing, and collective communication workloads.
Plan and drive proofs of concept (PoCs) with customers, working with Product Managers, Sales, and field engineers to define success criteria, execute tests, analyze results, and present findings.
Deliver technical presentations and live demonstrations of Keysight hardware and software solutions to customers, partners, and executive audiences.
Represent Keysight in industry organizations such as the Ultra Ethernet Consortium, Ethernet Alliance, and OCP, and at tradeshows, interoperability events, and plugfests, contributing to emerging test methodologies and standards.
Capture customer requirements and field feedback, and work with Product Managers and R&D to translate them into product features and roadmap priorities.
Publish technical collateral such as test methodology guides, application notes, white papers, and blogs, and train Keysight sales and pre-sales engineers on solutions and use cases.
Support the launch of new products and features through technical messaging, demos, and customer-ready test cases.
Qualifications
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Network Communications, or a related field (or equivalent experience); a master's degree is a plus.
7+ years of experience in network test, validation, design, or architecture roles, ideally in customer-facing or technical product roles.
Solid networking background: Ethernet switching, IP routing, and data center fabrics, including leaf-spine topologies and high-speed Ethernet.
Working understanding of AI data center networking and fabric performance, including congestion management (ECN, PFC, RoCEv2), load balancing, adaptive routing, and the impact on AI workloads and collective communication.
Strong customer-facing communication and presentation skills, with the ability to lead technical discussions and run live demonstrations for both engineers and senior stakeholders.
Ability to author clear technical content such as application notes, white papers, and test methodology documents.
Self-driven, curious, and motivated to continuously learn emerging AI networking technologies and high-speed Ethernet.
Willingness to travel to customer sites, industry events, and plugfests as needed.
Preferred Qualifications
Exposure to product management, such as contributing requirements or supporting product launches.
Experience in network test and measurement, including test plan design and hands-on use of tools such as traffic generators for demos and PoCs.
Experience in network automation (Python, REST API, Tcl), including developing and executing automated test cases and analyzing results.
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) for deploying network functions and infrastructure as a service.
Basic familiarity with physical layer and optics, such as optical transceivers, copper cables, and CMIS.
