Network Performance Security and Preproduction Tester -6 month Internship

Job description

Project 1 6 Month internship (office based in our Sophia Antipolis office, Valbonne) **Ideally, applicants will already hold a Fortinet certification (such as NSE4), or be willing to obtain this certification before the internship commences as part of the interview process, or hold an equivalent vendor certification. ** Role Overview: -We conduct rigorous performance testing of our hardware and software using industry-leading traffic generators, including Keysight BreakingPoint, VIAVI Avalanche, and CyberFlood. We utilize a custom automation framework to execute these tests and publish results for our Systems Engineering (SE) community. -Our standard methodology begins with a goal-seeking phase to identify the peak performance threshold (the "best value"). Once established, we validate this result by running additional tests at -10% and +10% load increments to ensure stability and accuracy. The Challenge: -Upgrading testing tools often introduces regressions in our automation scripts or inconsistencies in performance metrics. To address this, we need to develop a pre-production environment on Virtual Machines (VMs). This environment will act as a regression suite to validate tool u...
