This role transitions beyond general IT support to focus on high-performance computing environments, complex server architectures, Storage Area Networks (SAN), and specialized CAD/CAE ecosystems. The ideal candidate will take ownership of the regional engineering platform to maintain 99.9% uptime and uphold strict FAA security and operational standards. The Computer-Aided Engineering Graphics (CAEG) platform serves as the primary technical repository and design environment for the FAA's Air Traffic Organization (ATO), directly supporting the safety and integrity of the National Airspace System (NAS)., * System Monitoring & Maintenance: Proactively monitor the health and performance of Windows, Unix, and Linux server environments. Perform tuning for Storage Area Networks (SAN) to optimize data throughput for massive engineering files. Generate Capacity Planning Reports using simulation models to resolve hardware bottlenecks and prevent system degradation. * CAD/CAE Application & License Administration: Administer Autodesk and Bentley licensing servers to ensure continuous software availability across the regional network. Manage the ProjectWise Integration Server and Electronic Data Management System (EDMS) for seamless drawing collaboration. Oversee network plotter drivers and large-format printing interfaces. * Cybersecurity Compliance: Manage Active Directory (AD) objects and enforce granular access control measures. Direct security patching and vulnerability remediation activities to ensure 100% compliance with FAA timelines. * Database Administration & Disaster Recovery: Execute daily database replication and EDMS backups. Maintain and test the Enterprise Architecture-aligned Disaster Recovery (DR) plan annually in a NetApp environment to guarantee business continuity. * Tier 3 Technical Support & Mentorship: Serve as an escalation point for complex CAD/CAE system failures. Provide high-level technical mentorship and guidance to non-specialist engineering staff regarding platform capabilities and best practices. * Reporting: Prepare weekly status reports, monthly uptime metrics (targeting 99.9% availability), monthly security patch logs, and annual DR exercise reports. ## Related Videos - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Node and Package Security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2138-wearedevelopers-live-node-and-package-security) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Agile work at CARIAD – Creating a customer web application for controlling the vehicle ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/200-agile-work-at-cariad-creating-a-customer-web-application-for-controlling-the-vehicle) - [The Time Paradox: Building Timezone-Safe Python/Django Applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1915-the-time-paradox-building-timezone-safe-python-django-applications) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers)
