Active US Secret Security Clearance Required (DoD)

At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling – to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.  

RTX Corporation Raytheon is looking for an experienced systems administrator with an active Secret clearance to work as part of a collaborative team to support classified networks on our Aurora campus in Colorado (Relocation support is available if you meet company criteria). The ideal candidate should have significant experience integrating, hardening, and maintaining SIPR networks. The candidate should be skilled in Windows and Linux systems administration in a classified operating environment.

Our Digital Technology organization ensures that Raytheon teammates across the globe are able to communicate, collaborate and innovate for customer success. We create leading-edge technology solutions to prevent security threats, secure the integrity of our systems and support IT infrastructures around the world.

Senior Principal System Administrators collaborate with a diverse team to support exciting, critical programs with classified information system capabilities. Success in this role means you can develop, implement, and maintain secure, cost-efficient environments across various classified programs. Program teams rely on your collaboration and guidance to define computing requirements and create end-to-end solutions to solve complex IT infrastructure problems.

Our SIPRNet (Secret Internet Protocol Router Network) areas require a dedicated systems administrator to deploy, maintain and support its accreditation. SIPR connectivity is vital and a requirement for the programs they support. The networking effort for this is a demanding task that requires a full-time network engineer to conduct regular scans, patches, and testing and adhere to the constant new requirements imposed by the government agencies with whom we work (DISA). The latest is the new C2C (Comply to Connect) requirement (NSA Zero Trust Connection Requirement). It is a security framework that requires the implementation of Directory Services, supporting servers, Cisco ISE, IDS/IPS, next-generation firewalls, and other systems and networking tools.

The ideal candidate must be a US citizen holding at a minimum a Secret clearance. The candidate will frequently interact with inter-organizational contacts representing the Digital Technology Program Digital Services organization in the support of our engineering end-user community.
