Senior Systems Engineer

• Develop and maintain system architecture, design documentation, and interface control specifications for infrastructure (Linux, Windows, Cisco IOS, FAA data center, and cloud)
• Conduct requirements analysis, gap analysis, and system trade-off studies to support technical decision-making; provide recommendations for technology modernization, DR strategies, failover automation, and air movement data reliability
• Design and implement solutions with HA (99.999% target), fault tolerance, and automated failover including clustering, load balancing, and redundant services; ensure distributed systems are architected for rapid recovery and continuity at system- and site-level failures
• Provide disaster recovery planning support including designing resilient architectures and participating in regular DR exercises; develop and maintain COOP and failover strategies across all supported systems
• Provide engineering support for radar distribution systems - integration, monitoring, performance tuning, and redundancy to ensure uninterrupted delivery of radar feeds to stakeholders
• Lead Platform Modernization: assess current virtualized infrastructure; define hybrid containerized target state architecture (Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker); create phased VM-to-container migration roadmap; recommend CI/CD, RBAC, monitoring, and logging operations tooling; address container image security, vulnerability scanning, and patching
• Deliver Hybrid Containerized Architecture and Phased Roadmap
• Execute functional, integration, regression, and failover testing of hardware and software components; support test readiness reviews, configuration audits, and certification activities
• Perform market research and technical advisory support to evaluate and recommend implementation of emerging COTS technologies (AI, ML, automation) to facilitate and secure DD data exchange
• Perform engineering studies on emerging system developments and their impact to the client mission; develop telecommunications plans, operational procedures, and standard engineering packages
• Manage and track configuration baselines for all critical systems; ensure CIS security compliance and coordinate with ISSO/ISSE on vulnerability remediation, POAM updates, and security risk assessments
• Provide weekly status report updates at the weekly cross-over meeting; deliver engineering artifacts, quarterly progress reports, system architecture documentation, and requirements analysis products
