I wanted to piggy back on this discussion as I too am looking for a "Network" test Engineer...

I have found in my recent research that these people are becoming harder to find because a lot of the developers are starting to do their own testing, whatever product or application it may be.

I feel your pains as I am having trouble finding test engineers with MPLS and VPLS and knowledge of L2and L3 protocols. (they all work for Cisco) Harumph...

One suggestion is to collaborate with the hiring manager to see if they are willing to take a look at a developer that has testing experience within the space you are targeting.

Good Luck!!!
