Software Engineer (Storage)

We are seeking a Storage Engineer to support a multi-year modernization effort focused on improving lab infrastructure, tactical systems, and software/hardware development processes for Navy-facing platforms. This role will support a storage re-architecture initiative aimed at evaluating, benchmarking, and recommending modern software-defined storage solutions across multiple programs and hardware environments. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with software-defined storage, storage benchmarking, Linux-based environments, and scripting. This person should be comfortable working in an R&D/prototype environment where storage candidates are being evaluated, compared, and eventually transitioned into tactical systems., * Support the evaluation and implementation of modern software-defined storage solutions across tactical and lab environments.

• Assist with storage trade studies, technical evaluations, and benchmarking activities.
• Evaluate candidate storage technologies for performance, resiliency, failover, latency, read/write speeds, and operational fit.
• Help define storage classes and storage configurations aligned to different program/application needs.
• Support deployment and testing of storage solutions on both unclassified development systems and classified tactical lab environments.
• Develop or modify scripts to automate storage deployment, testing, and benchmarking.
• Work with application teams to understand how different applications interact with storage layers.
• Capture and document test results, strengths, weaknesses, and recommendations for each storage candidate.
• Support transition roadmap planning for selected storage solutions across multiple programs.
• Collaborate with Kubernetes, DevOps, software, and hardware teams to integrate storage capabilities into containerized environments., gRPC Linux DevOps Ansible Planning Failover Scripting Visionary Pipelines Innovation Resilience Kubernetes RESTful API Benchmarking GitLab CI/CD Ceph (Software) NetApp Applications Performance Testing Software Engineering Network File Systems Command-Line Interface Artificial Intelligence Bash (Scripting Language) Infrastructure Automation Engineering Design Process Asynchronous Communication Python (Programming Language) Troubleshooting (Problem Solving) Hardware Configuration Management +0
