Responsibilities
- Test Architecture & Development: Author and maintain comprehensive, from-scratch system test plans, detailed test procedures, and execution checklists that cover the full scope of the JSE architecture.
- End-to-End Test Execution: Perform hands-on validation of the entire system, systematically verifying each architectural block to isolate faults and ensure proper integration.
- Systematic Validation:
- Physical Layer (Layer 0/1): Validate that all hardware components (servers, switches, storage arrays) power on correctly, pass their Power-On Self Tests (POST), and establish stable physical data links.
- Network Fabric (Layer 2/3): Verify that the network infrastructure functions as designed, including proper switch uplinks, VLAN segmentation, firewall policy enforcement, and the correct operation of network services like DHCP.
- Storage Subsystems: Test and validate the functionality of bulk storage arrays (e.g., Dell PowerStore, NetApp appliances) from both a back-end management and front-end data presentation (NFS/iSCSI) perspective.
- Operating Systems: Validate the correct installation, configuration, and security hardening of server operating systems, including Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL 8/9).
- Virtualization & Compute: Confirm that stateful hypervisor systems are performing correctly. Validate the deployment and functionality of VMware vSphere environments. Test the ability of stateless, diskless compute systems to successfully pull OS images from network storage as advertised.
- Documentation & Reporting: Meticulously record all test outcomes, documenting deltas from expected results, and gathering all necessary log files and screenshots to serve as test artifacts.
- Stakeholder Communication: Translate complex technical findings, test results, and system behaviors into clear, concise, and understandable information for less technical decision-makers and stakeholders.
Qualifications
- Ability to obtain and maintain DoD TS/SCI and Active or must be eligible for SAP (Special Access Program) clearance.

- Virtualization Platforms: In-depth knowledge and hands-on experience with VMware vSphere, including ESXi, vCenter, vSAN, and virtual networking.
- Physical Layer Validation: Verifying system POST, hardware health (e.g., iDRAC/IPMI), and Layer 1 network connectivity.
- Network Infrastructure: Strong understanding of Layer 2 (VLANs, trunking) and Layer 3 (IP routing, firewall policies). Experience verifying network services like DHCP.
- Storage Systems: Experience with both SAN (iSCSI) and NAS (NFS) protocols. Familiarity with enterprise storage platforms is essential.
- Stateless & Network-Based Deployment: A firm grasp of PXE boot workflows, TFTP, and the processes for deploying diskless compute nodes.
- Proven ability to author high-quality technical documentation, including test plans and procedures, from scratch.
- Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with a verifiable ability to brief non-technical leadership on complex technical subjects.
- A self-starting, architectural mindset capable of independently analyzing a system, identifying test requirements, and executing a comprehensive validation strategy.
