This role is responsible for standing up production-ready compute, storage, networking, and virtualization platforms that enable our engineering teams to deliver mission-critical software for national security programs. You'll be the technical bridge between infrastructure vendors and our internal engineering teams, ensuring new hardware is received, validated, configured, and ready for software deployment. From commissioning bare-metal systems to establishing standardized operating environments, you'll play a key role in building reliable, scalable infrastructure across multiple development sites. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working hands-on with enterprise hardware, virtualization, networking, and systems administration while collaborating closely with software engineers, DevOps, and external vendors. In this role, you'll work closely with software engineers, DevOps engineers, systems engineers, cybersecurity, and external infrastructure vendors to ensure our development environments are secure, consistent, and ready to support mission success. What you will be focusing on: * Receive, inspect, and validate enterprise hardware deliveries, ensuring systems meet procurement and deployment requirements. * Commission bare-metal servers, storage, and networking equipment into fully operational development environments. * Configure virtualization platforms such as VMware ESXi or KVM and establish standardized infrastructure baselines. * Deploy and configure enterprise storage solutions (SAN/NAS), VLANs, operating systems, and foundational networking services. * Maintain hardware configuration consistency across multiple development sites and subcontractor environments. * Partner with external systems integrators throughout infrastructure procurement, installation, and acceptance testing. * Perform power-on validation, hardware acceptance testing, and infrastructure verification before deployment. * Build clean, production-ready infrastructure environments that can be transitioned to internal DevOps teams for software deployment and automation. * Document infrastructure standards, configurations, and deployment procedures to support repeatable implementations. * Collaborate with engineering and cybersecurity teams to maintain secure, reliable, and scalable IT infrastructure., This role can be based out of Chantilly, VA, Colorado Springs, CO, El Segundo, CA or Seal Beach, CA.
