Confidential, Hopkinton, MA

SAN Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for validating VPLEX solutions that are not currently on the support matrix for third party arrays such as Dell (Compellent), Sun, HP 3PAR, Hitachi HUS, IBM DS, EMC VNX with VPLEX backend and sometimes old host operating systems
• Received a request for product qualification (RPQ) that comes in from the field or sometimes the request will come from VPLEX development, Quality Engineers or Level 3 Engineers for something that s out of the scope of the current development cycle.
• Analyzed RPQ, do research and determine whether request is close enough to something already support, that don t need to be tested to approve it.
• Created test plan, this includes configuration information from RPQ and test cases from library of test cases written by Quality Engineers
• Created a review ticket to get test plan review and approve by Developers, Quality Engineers, and Level 3 Engineers
• Created a test set in the Test Lab section of Quality center. Where test cases execution is tracked and step is marked as pass and fail
• Set up and executed test cases in test plan to verify the arrays and VPLEX behave as expected
• Effectively solve problems and debug test and equipment issues during setup
• When testing is completed, a test report is generated. Take the test plan and add the test case results, any defects found, any limitations, and caveats.
• As with the plan, the report is reviewed by Developers, Quality Engineers, and Level 3 Engineers before send out to customers and sale teams
• Provide testing and technical support to customer engineers or sale team
