Key Responsibilities

• Lead hardware provisioning activities including advanced RAID configuration and disk array optimization to meet performance and redundancy requirements for high-write-volume security applications such as video storage systems.
• Configure and validate Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) and Lifecycle Controller settings, ensuring firmware baselines are established using Dell OpenManage before OS deployment.
• Independently deploy operating systems via PXE boot automation or iDRAC Virtual Media methods, including Windows Server and hardened Linux distributions, ensuring compliance with corporate standards.
• Design and implement network segmentation strategies using VLANs and dedicated subnets to isolate physical security traffic (CCTV, PIDS, Intercom) from management networks.
• Configure Quality of Service (QoS) policies on Cisco Catalyst switches to prioritize high-bandwidth video streams, ensuring low latency and minimal packet loss for live monitoring and retention systems.
• Manage Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) budgeting and monitoring on access layer switches, ensuring reliable power delivery to IP cameras, door readers, and security panels.
• Implement network device hardening best practices on Cisco IOS devices, including Access Control Lists (ACLs), disabling unnecessary services, and securing management protocols (SSH/HTTPS).
• Coordinate with Network Engineers and Physical Security Installation Teams to validate network readiness, port activations, and successful device-to-server communication paths.
• Execute comprehensive validation testing including bandwidth saturation tests, physical layer distance checks, and latency measurements before operational handoff to sustainment teams.
• Develop detailed "As-Built" documentation including logical and physical topology diagrams, VLAN matrices, IP assignment records, and configuration backups.
• Provide 24x7 technical support for all in-scope infrastructure systems, performing root cause analysis and implementing corrective actions for medium-complexity issues.
• Deliver weekly project status updates and maintain programming sheet validations, as-built documentation, and asset management system accuracy throughout deployment lifecycle.

Required Skills

• Related field experience with 6+ years of hands-on experience in enterprise server and network infrastructure deployment.
• Strong expertise in Dell PowerEdge server platforms including RAID controllers (PERC), iDRAC configuration, firmware management, and Lifecycle Controller operations.
• Proficient in Cisco networking technologies including Catalyst switches, VLAN configuration, QoS implementation, PoE management, and IOS security hardening.
• Solid experience with Windows Server and Linux operating system deployment, administration, and troubleshooting in enterprise environments.
• Working knowledge of scripting languages (Python, PowerShell) and automation tools for configuration management and deployment acceleration.
• Excellent communication skills with ability to collaborate across technical teams and provide mentorship to junior engineers while working in 24x7 rotational support models.

Tools Required

• Server & Hardware Tools: Dell iDRAC, Lifecycle Controller, OpenManage, RAID/PERC utilities for server provisioning, firmware baselining, and remote management.
• OS Deployment Tools: PXE boot infrastructure, iDRAC Virtual Media, Windows Server & Linux ISOs with hardening and automation scripts.
• Network Tools: Cisco IOS CLI, PoE management, VLAN/QoS configuration tools, network monitoring, and bandwidth/latency testing utilities.
• Automation & Operations Tools: Ansible, Python, CMDB systems, configuration backup tools, and documentation/diagramming platforms for global 24x7 operations.
