Make an impact by using your expertise to protect our country from threats., Find the Answer. Engineer the Solution. Improve the Enterprise. We are looking for an engineer who is naturally curious, relentlessly analytical, and driven to understand how things actually work. The ideal candidate is the person with the home lab, the engineer who takes systems apart to understand them, researches the problem until they find the answer, and is never satisfied with "that's just how it works." This is not a traditional single-system engineering role. You will work across a large enterprise environment spanning 28 IT engineering disciplines, helping solve complex operational problems, develop new capabilities, automate processes, and improve the effectiveness, security, and compliance of systems supporting tens of thousands of devices and users. The problems will change constantly. So will the priorities. We are looking for someone who is excited by that. What You'll Do * Solve the hard problems. Investigate complex enterprise IT issues, identify root causes, research potential solutions, test hypotheses, and stay with a problem until you understand it and can recommend a path forward. * Think at enterprise scale. Design and improve capabilities that can be deployed, monitored, secured, and maintained across 50,000-100,000 devices, rather than solving problems one system at a time. * Engineer across disciplines. Work across the organization's 28 IT services to understand how systems interact and identify solutions that improve overall operational effectiveness. * Build and automate. Use PowerShell, scripting, APIs, automation platforms, and other development tools to eliminate repetitive work and create scalable engineering solutions. * Research what's next. Investigate emerging technologies, capabilities, and engineering approaches before they become requirements. Prototype and evaluate technologies that could improve the enterprise. * Support architecture and engineering. Work alongside senior engineers and architects to develop new capabilities, validate designs, troubleshoot existing environments, and turn concepts into operational solutions. * Continuously improve the environment. Identify weaknesses, inefficiencies, security gaps, operational problems, and opportunities for automation-and take ownership of improving them. We are looking for someone who wants to know the answer. Somone with the mindset - We give you a hard problem, limited direction, access to the environment and the tools/resources available, and you will keep digging until you understand the problem and find an answer. You don't need to know every technology in the enterprise when you arrive. You do need to know how to figure things out.
