About KPN Mobile Networks:

Within the Technology and Digitization Office, the Mobile Access and Mobile Core units are responsible for innovating, developing and managing KPN's mobile network. Our mobile network consists of over 5000 base stations in the Netherlands and connects more than 7 million customers every day. With around 200 enthusiastic colleagues, we ensure that KPN's mobile network is the #1 network in the Netherlands.

For our One Mobile Core (OMC) Program we are looking for a full time DevOps Test Engineer. The OMC program is introducing 5G SA network capabilities. This will bring higher speed, lower latency, better quality and enhanced security to our KPN customers.

Focus of the engineer will be to write and execute test-cases on the data core of the new 5GSA set-up. The work is done in a test-team led by our test manager and with close involvement of the vendor Ericsson. Trouble-shooting issues with vendor support is also part of the assignment. Also exploratory testing to determine optimal configurations will be part.

What the Test Engineer will do:

Write detailed test-cases: the Test Object List is prepared and the basis for detailed test-cases that are properly documented

Execute test-cases and report on them. Testing is done using shielded boxes (with devices, E2E), with Landslide, and with dedicated test-automation tooling.

The Engineer will trouble-shoot failed test-cases and work with the team and our vendor on a solution.

In some cases exploratory testing will be needed to optimize configuration parameters in the End 2 end set-up at KPN.

Report on progress

Who we are looking for:

We are looking for an experienced test engineer that is able to quickly get up to speed in the KPN environment and be productive. The engineer will work in a team of skilled and motivated individuals. The ideal candidate has the below mentioned knowledge and experience of the work field.

Knowledge and skills:

Domain knowledge of Mobile Core technologies, especially EPC and 5GC 3GPP architecture

Experience as Test Engineer, with test approaches and processes, test and tracing equipment

Focus on Quality, determined to find any issues and errors inn our new 5G Core

Hands-on experience with Ericsson mobile core, especially PCC and PCG.

Able to cope with stress and time pressure to meet certain deadlines

Good communication skills. Well able to raise issues to the test-manager and our vendor and follow-up on them.

Location:

The Program is run from the KPN office in Rotterdam (Wilhelminaplein), typically hybrid. Depending on the worksplit in the test team the work can also be based in our Rotterdam Test location (Waalhaven).

Working from a different location/ home location is possible. Days office/ remote to be agreed upon. However, given the urgency of the project and the need to have a quick onboarding, the engineer is expected to be on-site often, especially in the beginning.
