About The Position

Catapult is seeking a hands-on Senior Systems Integration QA / Team Lead to oversee end-to-end quality assurance for their live sports video capture and multi-angle video playback systems. This role involves leading QA across video inputs, hardware, network components, mobile client devices (iPads), and desktop capture applications. The position requires cross-functional collaboration with Product, Engineering, and Systems Engineering, and includes on-site work with customer-facing colleagues to validate the solution under real-world conditions. Key areas of focus include performance, networking conditions, resiliency/failover, and operational workflows.

Requirements

5+ years in system integration test roles, or in video streaming, broadcast tech working with high-concurrency systems.
Proven experience testing hardware and software integrated platforms: including video pipelines, encoders, mobile clients, and network infrastructure.
Strong knowledge of network fundamentals.
Experience designing/operating a device lab with high device concurrency (e.g., 20+ tablets concurrently testing playback or streaming).
Ability to design test plans for failure scenarios: including hardware, network etc failures.
Comfortable being hands-on with physical gear: plugging switches, flashing iPad builds, reading encoder diagnostics.
Exceptional communication skills: capable of representing QA insights directly to Product and Field teams with clarity and urgency.

Responsibilities

Lead soak, stress, latency, and reliability testing in environments that mirror stadium/field deployments.
Conduct on-site verification sessions with customer-facing colleagues, capturing real-world usage patterns, connectivity challenges, and workflow friction.
Translate field findings into actionable engineering tickets and QA improvements.
Own the test strategy and quality culture across video inputs, encoders, networking, video capture, backend services, client apps and field devices.
Build and maintain a scalable QA device lab, including video inputs, cameras, encoders, networking, desktop applications and devices, to test a range of setups based on real customer usage.
Define and oversee test plans for individual components and full integrated system flows.
Partner closely with Product Management to align test scenarios with real coaching workflows, and multi-user performance requirements.
Work with Systems Engineering to configure and observe behaviour and performance with different network conditions and configurations.
Collaborate with Developers and Support teams to instrument logs, expose timestamps, and build tools to support QA, automate setups, and review system health.
Define quality metrics for video, network and system performance.
Establish a repeatable regression and release validation pipeline, including pre-deployment reliability gates based on real team usage scenarios.
Define/create tooling to automate setup, configuration and health checks of environments.
