• Aid in the design, implementation, and maintenance of cross domain systems and infrastructure, including servers, networks, storage systems, and software applications.
• Apply and validate system security configurations, including DISA STIGs, to ensure compliance with security requirements.
• Perform hands-on hardware and software configuration of systems, including network configuration and cabling.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements and support development of technical solutions aligned with mission and security objectives.
• Install, configure, and troubleshoot IT system components to ensure stability and performance.
• Support system integration activities, assist in the creation and maintenance of automation scripts, and track hardware, software, and configuration changes to support documentation updates and system baselines.
• Provide input to training materials and support knowledge sharing across the team.

Requirements

• Active Secret clearance is required; active TS clearance preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or related field with 2–4 years of relevant experience (or equivalent combination of education and experience).
• Demonstrated full life cycle, systems integration experience.
• Strong demonstrated experience with VMware and ESXi environments.
• Hands-on experience with hardware and software configuration of physical systems, including network configuration and cabling for physical devices and networking concepts.
• Experience supporting development of DoDAF architecture frameworks to inform systems engineering design and implementation best practices utilizing MS Visio.
• Experience troubleshooting operational systems, including participation in advanced (Tier III-level) troubleshooting and root cause analysis for deployed environments.
• Familiarity with software development or scripting (e.g., XML, Python, Bash, PowerShell, Java, C++).
• Familiarity with system development processes, databases, and IT infrastructure concepts.
• Linux command line experience with certification such as CompTIA Linux+ or RHEL certification with understanding of virtual machine architecture.
• Must possess DoD 8140 (formerly 8570) IAT Level II certification (e.g., Security+) prior to start date and maintain certification.
• Willingness to travel CONUS and OCONUS up to 10% of the time.
• Demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality technical work, rapidly learn new technologies, and effectively collaborate with team members to support mission objectives in a dynamic environment.
• Ability to quickly ramp up on new systems and processes, work independently with minimal oversight, and effectively contribute in a fast-paced, evolving operational environment while maintaining high standards of quality and teamwork.
