In this role, you will be the backbone of our lab infrastructure, ensuring high availability, performance, and security across a diverse technical stack. The ideal candidate possesses deep technical expertise in Wintel (Windows Server), Enterprise Storage, VMware, and Hyper-V, alongside a strong engineering mindset to deploy, troubleshoot, and automate complex lab topologies. Key Responsibilities 1. Compute & Virtualization Management (VMware & Hyper-V) ● Provision & Maintain: Deploy, configure, and lifecycle-manage virtual machines across both VMware v Sphere/ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V environments. ● Cluster Administration: Manage host clusters, configure high availability (HA), Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), and live migrations (v Motion / Live Migration). ● Resource Optimization: Monitor CPU, memory, and provisioned storage allocation to prevent resource contention and optimize lab utilization. ● Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve complex Layer 2 virtualization issues, including host isolation, snapshot chains, and virtual switch (v Switch) misconfigurations. 2. Wintel Administration ● OS Lifecycle: Install, configure, and harden Windows Server operating systems (2016 through latest versions) within the lab environment. ● Core Infrastructure Services: Administer and troubleshoot Active Directory (AD), Group Policy Objects (GPOs), DNS, DHCP, and IIS configurations dedicated to the lab. ● Patch & Compliance: Implement and maintain a rigorous patching cadence for Windows servers utilizing WSUS or automated configuration management tools without disrupting active lab testing. 3. Enterprise Storage Operations ● Provisioning: Allocate and present storage blocks/shares (SAN/NAS) to virtualization hosts and standalone bare-metal servers using protocols like i SCSI, Fibre Channel (FC), and NFS/SMB. ● Storage Management: Monitor storage array health, capacity, and performance. Manage storage tiers, deduplication, and snapshots. ● Backup & Recovery: Execute and verify routine backup configurations for critical lab baselines, configurations, and data repositories to ensure rapid recovery capabilities. 4. Lab Operations & Support ● Hardware Lifecycle: Perform physical rack-and-stack, cabling (fiber/ethernet), and bare- metal provisioning of enterprise servers (e.g., Dell Power Edge, HPE Pro Liant). ● Environment Isolation: Collaborate with networking teams to set up isolated VLANs, routing, and firewall rules tailored for specific testing scenarios. ● Automation & Scripting: Leverage Power Shell, Power CLI, or Python to automate repetitive tasks such as VM provisioning, environment teardowns, and status reporting. ● Incident Management: Serve as the Tier 2 escalation point for all lab-related infrastructure alerts, performance degradation, and hardware failures. Qualifications & Skills Technical Requirements ● EDUCATION: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent hands-on experience. ● Experience: 3–5 years of experience in system administration, infrastructure operations, or data center environment support. ● Virtualization: Strong proficiency in VMware v Sphere (v Center, ESXi) and Microsoft Hyper-V / Failover Cluster Manager. ● Operating Systems: Advanced administration of Windows Server ecosystems; familiarity with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or Ubuntu is a plus. ● Storage: Hands-on experience with enterprise storage platforms (e.g., Net App, Dell EMC, Pure Storage) and fabric switches. ● Scripting: Proficiency in Power Shell for Windows and virtualization management. Soft Skills & Work Environment ● Adaptability: Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, fluid environment where lab configurations change frequently based on engineering needs. ● Problem-Solving: Strong analytical mindset with a methodical approach to root-cause analysis. ● Documentation: Diligent about keeping topology diagrams, asset inventories, and "how- to" runbooks accurate and up to date. Preferred Certifications (Any of the following are a plus) ● VMware Certified Professional (VCP) ● Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate ● Enterprise Storage certifications (e.g., Net App NCA/NCDA, Dell Technologies Associate)
