• Collaborating with Tier 3 engineering on production deployment changes

• Staying current on emerging technologies and industry best practices

This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role where your expertise directly strengthens mission operations.

You bring a strong technical foundation, operational awareness, and the ability to lead others through complex system challenges.

• Active DoD TS/SCI clearance

• Current DoD 8140‑compliant security certification (IAT/IAM Level III equivalent)

• Ability to obtain required computing environment certification within 6 months

• Experience with Windows Server, Active Directory, and system patching

• Experience with RHEL 9 administration and patching

• Proficiency with PowerShell and BASH scripting

• Strong troubleshooting skills across systems and networks

• Familiarity with syslog and Windows Event Viewer

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio)

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Proven ability to support complex technical environments

• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to collaborate with leadership and cross‑functional teams

• Demonstrated ability to train and mentor personnel in technical and operational domains

These skills will help you stand out:

• Industry certifications in Red Hat or Windows

• Experience managing Windows Domain Infrastructure (DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, SCCM)

• Familiarity with disaster recovery and backup best practices

• Experience with VMware virtualization

• Exposure to automation tools

• Understanding of mission‑environment operational support procedures

You’ll be a critical force behind the stability and readiness of a mission‑essential network environment. Your expertise will empower operators, strengthen system resilience, and help drive continuous improvement across the program. This is your opportunity to lead, innovate, and make a meaningful impact every day.
