## Description

Computer World Services, Corp. (CWS) seeks a Senior Storage / SAN Engineer to support enterprise storage, Storage Area Network (SAN) infrastructure, data protection, service restoration, component modernization, and continuity-of-operations (COOP) capabilities for the USMEPCOM ENLIST program.

The Storage / SAN Engineer configures and troubleshoots SAN fabrics, storage arrays, Fibre Channel switches, zoning, Fabric Logins, and WWN/PWWN connectivity, and supports performance analysis, capacity management, refreshes, migrations, and integration with server, virtualization, network, cloud, backup, and security platforms. The engineer also supports COOP and disaster-recovery readiness, exercises, failover, backup validation, and service restoration.

Key Tasks & Responsibilities

 * Configure, administer, monitor, and troubleshoot enterprise SAN fabrics, storage arrays, Fibre Channel switches, domains, ports, aliases, zones, and zone sets.
 * Diagnose and resolve Fabric Login, zoning, name-server, pathing, inter-switch-link, and WWN/PWWN connectivity issues across storage, servers, appliances, and virtualization platforms.
 * Support single-initiator zoning, multi-fabric designs, multipathing, HBAs, and high-availability configurations; configure volumes, LUNs, pools, tiers, snapshots, replication, masking, and host access.
 * Integrate storage with physical and virtual servers, VMware, backup platforms, databases, and cloud services using Fibre Channel, iSCSI, NFS, SMB, or other approved protocols.
 * Monitor storage availability, capacity, latency, IOPS, throughput, and health; diagnose performance bottlenecks and develop capacity forecasts and expansion or refresh recommendations.
 * Participate in Outage Response Team activities, providing diagnosis, mitigation, recovery, and service validation; collect evidence for root-cause analysis and coordinate vendor escalation.
 * Plan and execute storage-array, SAN-switch, firmware, and software refreshes, data migrations, and non-disruptive cutovers with implementation, validation, and rollback procedures.
 * Maintain storage asset, configuration, warranty, licensing, and lifecycle records, and support inventory audits and disposition.
 * Configure and test backup, restoration, replication, failover, failback, and disaster-recovery capabilities; support quarterly COOP exercises, COOP activation, and multi-year continuity testing procedures.
 * Apply approved patches and configurations in accordance with DISA STIGs, and support remediation of vulnerabilities, IAVAs, CND Directives, and POA&M items.
 * Maintain SAN diagrams, zoning records, configuration baselines, capacity plans, recovery procedures, and SOPs, and recommend improvements to availability, performance, and recoverability.
