Systems Engineer, Senior
Booz Allen HamiltonAbout the role
The Opportunity:
A well-engineered system is critical to effectively handle data and enable organizations to achieve their mission, but how can an organization make sure their system will fit their evolving needs? Implementing a system correctly requires a combination of technical skill, proactivity, dedicated execution, and perseverance. That’s why we need you, a systems engineer who knows how to engineer purpose-built systems to meet DoD needs.
As a systems engineer on our team, you will help DoD clients modernize, operate, and maintain a deployable datacenter and other systems that support the DoD. You will work with other like-minded engineers to include Network, Security, Endpoint, and Software engineers to understand the existing architecture and to then operate, maintain, and secure the system in support of DoD events at CONUS and OCONUS locations. Furthermore, you will help to modernize the system to meet evolving requirements, incorporate new technologies, and scale it to support other clients. From resolving interoperability issues across platforms, to incorporating and configuring advanced technologies, to ensuring a high-level of availability during events, you will put your software and hardware talents to good use. This is your chance to do the hands-on work required to operate and improve complex and rewarding systems.
As you join our team of problem-solvers helping DoD clients operate and evolve dynamic solutions, you will apply your expertise in server operating systems, server virtualization, centralized endpoint administration, system hardening, system backups, and system-to-system interoperability.
Additionally, you will grow your skills by employing centralized update repositories, employing Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), enabling secure data-in-transit (DIT) and data-at-rest (DAR) using Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC), using server and endpoint public key infrastructure (PKI), maintaining a high system security posture, and developing new skills to meet the needs of the system’s design.
Join us. The world can’t wait.
