Summary

Summary

We are seeking an experienced and dedicated Senior Virtualization Engineer to lead our critical infrastructure migration initiative from VMware vSphere to Microsoft Hyper-V and Azure Stack HCI. The ideal candidate possesses deep expertise in both virtualization platforms and a proven track record of successfully executing large-scale, complex cross-platform migrations with minimal disruption. This role is a contract-to-hire opportunity, focusing initially on the successful completion of the migration project.

Key Responsibilities

Migration Planning & Execution:

Design, document, and execute a comprehensive migration strategy and detailed runbook for moving all virtual workloads (VMs, templates, and associated configurations) from VMware ESXi/vCenter environments to Hyper-V/System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) and/or Azure Stack HCI.
Perform pre-migration assessments, dependency mapping, and capacity planning.
Utilize and master industry-standard migration tools (e.g., Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter (MVMC), third-party solutions like Carbonite Migrate, or native Hyper-V import/export functionality) for seamless workload transfer.

Infrastructure Management:

Design, deploy, and configure the new Hyper-V cluster infrastructure, including networking (virtual switches, QoS), storage (CSV, SMB 3.0), and high availability features (Failover Clustering).
Maintain, monitor, and troubleshoot the existing VMware environment during the transition phase.
Configure and manage the System Center suite (SCVMM, SCOM, SCDPM) for the new Hyper-V environment.

Post-Migration & Optimization:

Validate application and operating system functionality post-migration.
Implement necessary performance tuning and optimization within the Hyper-V environment.
Develop comprehensive documentation, training materials, and perform knowledge transfer to the operations team.

Advanced Troubleshooting:

Resolve complex performance issues, connectivity problems, and operating system quirks specific to cross-platform virtual machine conversions.

Required Technical Qualifications

Minimum 5+ years of professional experience in Enterprise-level IT infrastructure.
Deep expertise in VMware vSphere: ESXi, vCenter Server, vSAN, vMotion, and DRS.
Expertise in Microsoft Hyper-V: Failover Clustering, Virtual Networking, Shared Storage (CSV), and Live Migration.
Proficiency with Migration Tools and Methodologies:

Proven experience using automated tools (e.g., MVMC, PlateSpin, or similar) to convert VMDK and VHD/VHDX formats.
Familiarity with clean installation vs. P2V/V2V conversion techniques.

Strong working knowledge of Microsoft System Center: SCVMM (mandatory), SCOM, and SCDPM.
Solid understanding of storage technologies (SAN, NAS, iSCSI, Fibre Channel) and their integration with both VMware and Hyper-V.
Experience with PowerShell scripting for automation of repetitive tasks and large-scale changes.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with Azure Stack HCI deployment and management.
Certifications such as VCP (VMware Certified Professional) and/or MCSE/MCSA (Server Infrastructure/Cloud Platform).
Experience with cloud migration paths from on-premises virtualization to Azure IaaS.
Familiarity with network virtualization concepts and solutions.

Education & Soft Skills

Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
Soft Skills:

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate complex technical details to non-technical stakeholders.
Exceptional problem-solving abilities and a meticulous attention to detail.
Ability to work independently, manage a project timeline, and prioritize tasks effectively under pressure.
