Key Responsibilities

• Install, configure, upgrade, integrate, and troubleshoot COTS software and associated hardware.
• Implement, maintain, and troubleshoot Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments.
• Support workstation and thin-client architectures, including GNOME, RDP, headless displays, and virtualized monitors.
• Perform RHEL kernel and package updates across RHEL 7, 8, and 10 environments.
• Manage DNF packages and local repositories.
• Develop Bash scripts and Ansible automation to streamline system configuration and maintenance.
• Utilize Git for configuration management, including cloning, commits, branching, and merging.
• Diagnose system performance and latency issues involving CPU, memory, storage I/O, networking, virtualization, applications, and remote displays.
• Work within SELinux and FIPS-enabled environments.
• Troubleshoot physical servers, workstations, peripherals, KVMs, networking equipment, storage systems, and virtualization platforms.
• Support development, integration, and deployed operational environments.
• Collaborate with engineering teams, customers, and vendors to resolve technical integration issues.
• Maintain detailed documentation covering configurations, troubleshooting, system changes, automation, and operational procedures.

Required Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL 7, 8, and/or 10).
• Experience with Ansible automation and Bash scripting.
• Experience managing DNF packages and local repositories.
• Proficiency with Git configuration-management workflows.
• Experience with RHEL kernel patching, updates, and troubleshooting.
• Knowledge of GNOME, RDP, and graphical Linux environments.
• Experience with headless Linux displays and virtualized monitor configurations.
• Strong Linux performance and latency troubleshooting capabilities.
• Ability to diagnose issues across operating systems, applications, hardware, networking, storage, and virtualization.
• Experience working with SELinux and FIPS-enabled environments.
• Hands-on COTS software and hardware installation and integration experience.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• Bachelor's degree in a STEM-related discipline.
• Ability to obtain a Public Trust clearance.
