Protocol Intelligence
Data-driven signals on your job's competitivenessSpecialized 5G SMF telecom QA skills but Bangalore metro and broad requirements raise applicant density.
Highly telecom- and 5G-specific QA expertise limits cross-industry transferability.
Multiple mandatory specialized skills (5G SMF, 3GPP, CI/CD, Kubernetes, performance/chaos testing) imply high shortlisting strictness.
Job Description
Structured overview of role & requirementsAbout This Role
Define and implement end-to-end QA strategy and architecture for 5G Session Management Function (SMF).
Design and drive test coverage including functional, API, regression, performance, scalability, latency, resiliency, failover, chaos, network slicing, QoS, and security testing for SMF and its interfaces according to 3GPP specs.
Lead QA automation integrated with CI/CD pipelines, define quality gates/KPIs/release exit criteria, and mentor QA engineers while collaborating cross-functionally.
Minimum Requirements
Experience required: Not explicitly mentioned in the JD.
Strong knowledge of 5G SMF including PDU session lifecycle and interfaces with AMF, UPF, PCF, UDM using SBA protocols (HTTP/2, REST).
Hands-on expertise in QA automation, CI/CD integration, and cloud-native testing using Kubernetes, containers, and cloud platforms.
Familiarity with 3GPP specifications (SMF, QoS, charging, policy control) and security testing for signaling and APIs.
Ideal Candidate Profile
Experienced in architecting comprehensive QA frameworks for complex telecom network functions, especially 5G core components like SMF.
Capable of driving automation-first testing strategies and embedding quality early in product development cycles with cross-team collaboration.
Strategic thinker with experience in scalable and resilient cloud-native network environments and strong mentorship skills in QA engineering.
