Senior QA Engineer – VMware Infra & Physical Lab Lead

Quantum; Centennial (CO); Hybrid; USD 110,000 - 165,000; Full time

Job summary

Quantum is seeking a Senior QA Engineer to own quality across the Unified Surveillance Platform (USP). You’ll operate hands-on in a physical hardware lab, validating high-availability infrastructure and VMware environments from the rack up.

Ideal candidates bring 5+ years of infrastructure QA, strong VMware expertise, and proven lab ownership. Hybrid work at our Centennial lab is required, with onsite collaboration and cross-team testing leadership.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of senior, hands-on infrastructure or solutions QA experience, not application/web QA.
• Deep, current VMware expertise: vSphere, ESXi, HA, DRS, vMotion/live migration, administered and tested.
• Physical lab ownership experience, primarily Linux, with Windows Server exposure a plus.
• Solid grounding in storage-networking concepts: iSCSI, RAID, VLANs, block vs. file storage.
• Track record of owning test strategy, not just executing test cases: release-readiness judgment.

Responsibilities

• Design, execute, and own test strategy for USP releases, including test plans, test cases, execution reporting, and release-readiness sign-off from end to end.
• Build and run deep validation of VMware vSphere/ESXi environments, including HA, DRS, and live‑migration failure and recovery scenarios.
• Own and maintain a physical test lab (primarily Linux-based, with Windows Server systems where needed), covering hardware, virtualization stack, and everything in between.
• Validate storage‑networking fundamentals underneath the platform: VLANs, iSCSI, RAID/erasure coding, and block vs. file storage behavior.
• Partner with engineering to reproduce, triage, and drive resolution of complex infrastructure defects.
• Bring surveillance‑domain awareness to testing; familiarity with VMS platforms (Milestone, Genetec, Avigilon, or similar) is a strong plus.
