Network Test Engineer

Excentis

Excentis is a telecommunications engineering company and testing lab. We’re specialised in access networks (mainly broadband access over the cable network) and home network technologies like Wi-Fi. We are proud to be considered experts on a global level, and are selected as lab for certification of just about all the standards for cable networks. For many of these standards we’re the only ones in the world. Our clients are telecom providers and manufacturers of broadband network equipment, like Intel, Cisco, Nokia, Samsung, Telenet or Vodafone. We test their equipment, advise them, train engineers and deliver best-in-class testing and monitoring solutions. Our home base is beautiful Ghent, Belgium. Our company thrives on innovation and atmosphere, the vibe is always (well, just about) energetic and inspiring.

Job Description

It’s no secret we demand more and more from our internet connections. Faster speed is definitely one of the biggest requirements. Download speeds of 10Gbps are within current range. We support our clients with a wide variety of services in order to introduce the latest and greatest technologies to the end user as quickly as possible. Our clients reach out to us in early development stages for analysis, troubleshooting and tweaking. If you’re, just like us, passionate about the future of the internet, interested in wireless networks and always aiming for high quality delivery, this might be for you! After some pretty intense and interesting training, this is what we offer our new colleague:

• Executing tests of Wi-Fi and cable networks
• Development and improvement of testing scripts
• Analysing and (where and if possible) solving of discovered errors. Really digging into technical specs is crucial, here
• Reporting with bells on
• Building and optimising test setups in labs
  This is a team effort, in which you’re encouraged to validate your ideas
• Depending on your interests and requirements within the team, you can grow to project owner, coaching, training, consultancy or R&D

Profile

For the position of Network Test Engineer, we’re looking for preferably a Master or Professional Bachelor in Industrial Sciences, electronics/ICT or similar.

• You work autonomously, critically and precisely
• Affinity with scripting (TCL, Python, ...) and ditto tools is a plus
• Experience with Linux is also a very good to have
• Your English is up to snuff
• You have a drivers license (B)

What we’re offering

• Responsibility, autonomy and trust
• Coaching and assistance by experts and peers
