Protocol Plugin Tester Student – Qosmos DPI Technology

Location: Bucharest or Craiova, Romania (Hybrid/Remote flexibility)
Department: DPI Development Center
Company: Enea Qosmos Division
Internship Duration: 6 months – 1 year (with possibility of full-time employment)

Internship Overview

This internship is an excellent opportunity for students in Computer Science or Telecommunications to gain hands-on experience in network protocol analysis, software testing, and deep packet inspection technology. You will work closely with experienced engineers on real projects, contributing either on the development side or in testing and validation—depending on your interests and skills.

The job can be tuned to offer a progressive learning path starting from 3rd year students in Computer Engineering.

From a given list of applications for which we suspect some changes, you will need to capture the network communications of the applications using our internal platform. From there, you will check the application is correctly recognized by our DPI product, opening bug reports and suggesting corrections if necessary. The job can evolve to also include, depending on your skills, tests of the signature fixes, final tests, testing of other parts of our product and developing signature fixes. If you are curious and enjoy studying how applications work, you are the right fit for this job.
