The QA / Validation Engineer is a member of the VCF9 Migration Factory Delivery Pod's Enablement & Control tier, owning pre- and post-migration checks, rollback rehearsal, and backup validation (e.g., Cohesity). Ensures workloads are proven correct in the target VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment before a wave is declared complete, acting as the quality gate that keeps execution honest and repeatable.

Key Responsibilities

- Owns pre-migration validation checks, confirming source workload readiness against the Migration Architect's approved design before a wave is scheduled to proceed.
- Owns post-migration validation checks, confirming migrated workloads are proven correct and functioning as expected in the target VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment before a wave is declared complete.
- Plans and executes rollback rehearsals for each wave, validating that rollback procedures defined by the Migration Architect can be executed successfully within the wave's maintenance window.
- Owns backup validation activities (e.g., Cohesity) for migrated workloads, confirming backup jobs, retention policies, and recovery points are correctly re-established in the target setting.
- Partners with the Senior Migration Engineer and Migration Engineer (Mid)



to define pre/post-check criteria and acceptance thresholds for each migration wave.
- Documents validation results, defects, and rollback rehearsal outcomes, and escalates any workload that fails to meet wave completion criteria to the Senior Technical Consultant.
- Coordinates with the Network/NSX Engineer to validate network connectivity, routing, and segmentation for migrated workloads post-cutover.
- Works with the Documentation/Runbook Specialist to ensure validation checklists and rollback rehearsal procedures are captured in reusable runbooks.
- Maintains a wave-level quality dashboard/tracker, reporting validation status to the Migration Coordinator/PMO and Technical Project Manager.
- Continuously improves validation test scripts and automates repetitive checks in partnership with the Automation Engineer to reduce manual validation effort per wave.
- Proposes and implements enhancements to validation processes that improve the accuracy, speed, and repeatability of wave sign-off
