• Coordinate with subject matter experts to support deployment of large language models and associated applications in GPU-enabled VMs
• Facilitate secure delivery and testing of AI-enabled training systems for C2BMC users
• Provide weekly status updates and collaborate with infrastructure personnel to maintain progress
• Develop and maintain web-based interfaces for remote system access and control, leveraging secure web frameworks and modern front-end tools

• 8+ years of experience in systems integration, virtualization, and system administration
• Security+ certification (or higher), meeting DoD 8570 IAT Level II requirements
• Experience with VMware vSphere, VCF, and NSX
• Proficiency with Red Hat Linux and Windows Server configuration and troubleshooting
• Scripting experience using PowerCLI, Python, or similar tools
• Familiarity with deploying and supporting containerized applications
• Understanding of RMF, ATO, and cybersecurity compliance processes within the DoD
• Experience designing and supporting web-based server/app architectures
• An active DoD Secret clearance is required to perform this work. Candidates are required to have an active Secret clearance upon hire, and the ability to maintain this level of clearance during their employment.

Desired Skills:

• Experience supporting missile defense, C2BMC, or classified training systems
• Exposure to GPU-backed AI/ML workloads and containerized model deployment
• Knowledge of the MDA Software Assurance process and EMASS documentation handling
• Background in DevSecOps or secure cloud-native system development is a plus
• Familiarity with modern web frameworks and experience designing web apps to support transition away from legacy Java/.exe dependencies.
