Senior QA Engineer – USP and Video Surveillance (VS/Acuity)

What You’ll Do 

• Plan and execute hands-on functional, regression, integration, and solutions testing for USP and VS/Acuity releases 

• Write and maintain test plans and test cases covering new features, failure scenarios, upgrades, and customer-representative configurations 

• Design, build, and maintain solutions test rigs that replicate real-world surveillance deployments, including VMS integrations, camera simulation, and multi-node cluster configurations 

• Perform security and vulnerability testing, including validating fixes for scan findings and hardening requirements common in enterprise and government deployments 

• Execute VMware certification and compatibility testing (vSphere/ESXi qualification, live migration, HA/failover validation) 

• Manage the QA lab environment, including rig assignments, scheduling, hardware inventory, and component replacements (drives, NICs, controllers, nodes) 

• Assign and coordinate test tasks across the QA team, track execution progress, and provide clear release-readiness and quality status updates 

• Reproduce and investigate customer-reported issues and escalations spanning virtualization, storage, networking, and operating systems 

• Contribute to product and support documentation, including test procedures, known-issue write-ups, and field-facing technical content 

• Develop and deliver training on products, test procedures, and lab practices for QA team members and cross-functional partners 

• Work closely with development, support, and field teams to drive issues to resolution 

What You Bring 

• 5+ years of QA engineering experience, including time in a senior or lead capacity 

• Strong hands-on manual testing background with enterprise software, storage, virtualization, or infrastructure platforms 

• Experience building and managing physical test environments — server hardware setup, cabling, component replacement, and lab logistics 

• Solid working knowledge of VMware environments (vSphere, ESXi, vMotion, HA/DRS) and hyperconverged infrastructure concepts 

• Strong hands-on experience with Linux and Windows Server environments 

• Familiarity with networking fundamentals (VLANs, bonding/teaming, iSCSI, multicast) and storage concepts (RAID, erasure coding, block/file storage) 

• Experience writing clear, thorough test plans and test cases, and documenting results for engineering and executive audiences 

• Experience with security/vulnerability testing and remediation validation (e.g., Qualys, Nessus, or similar scan tooling) 

• Demonstrated ability to coordinate work across a team — assigning tasks, tracking progress, and mentoring junior engineers 

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work across engineering, support, and customer-facing teams 

Nice to Have 

• Direct experience with video surveillance products or VMS platforms (Milestone, Genetec, Avigilon, or similar) 

• Experience testing hyperconverged or clustered systems, including node failure, fencing, and live-migration scenarios 

• Familiarity with virtualization certification programs (VMware Ready, hardware compatibility qualification) 

• Test automation or scripting experience (Python, Bash, PowerShell) to supplement manual test execution 

• Experience supporting enterprise customer escalations, including issue reproduction and root-cause investigation 

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and defect tracking tools (Jira or similar)
