• Conduct site surveys and installation planning, provide primary or backup engineering coverage for assigned deployments, and support authorized urgent field assignments.

Required Qualifications

• Four or more years of field systems engineering experience involving Windows, Linux, networking, and deployable hardware.
• Hands-on experience with systems administration, troubleshooting, and restoration in field or operational environments.
• Experience with DISA Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) and the Assured Compliance Assessment Solution (ACAS).
• Current qualification meeting the applicable DoD 8140 / IAT Level II requirement, such as CompTIA Security+ CE or an accepted equivalent.
• Active U.S. Government Secret security clearance.
• Willingness and ability to travel frequently, including internationally and to austere locations, as required.
