The Challenge:
Your combination of people skills and technical expertise makes you the team hero, solving one problem after another. What if you could use those skills to improve the technology supporting our program efforts? We’re looking for a Linux systems administrator with a solid background in installing, configuring, and maintaining operating hardware and software to help us enable warfighter clients to integrate air, land, maritime, and space domain awareness by connecting operational and tactical forces around the world via edge networks.
As a Linux systems administrator on our project, you’ll support the operations to maintain engineering solutions for distributed sensor fusion, tactical datalink (TDL), and radio coverage, while supplying an open architecture for data processing and sharing. You’ll help clients overcome tough challenges through monitoring and performance management. Your technical expertise will be vital as you identify problem areas and opportunities for improvement in a mission critical network. Your experience and communication skills will come in handy as you turn metrics into information and communicate their meaning. This is an opportunity to gain experience in fully converged C2 systems, cloud-based C2 applications, and artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) software hosting. We focus on growing as a team, so we’ll share techniques, work through challenges, and develop new methodologies together. Join our team and solve daily challenges as we improve distribution of a Common Operating Picture (COP) while establishing remote voice and data communications to positively control military operations from any location.
