About The Position

Stefanini Group is seeking a Cloud Systems Admin to coordinate the installation, integration, operation, and ongoing support of engineering applications within a Defense Azure Government environment.

Over time, the role helps evolve individual application deployments into an integrated engineering application environment for the broader Defense business. The administrator works across Engineering, Enterprise Technology, ISI, application vendors, and professional service providers to help ensure applications and infrastructure are securely deployed, appropriately licensed, and operationally supported. The position also supports application architecture and integration planning, maintains license inventories, monitors cloud costs, prepares recurring reports, investigates variances, and updates cost forecasts as applications, infrastructure, licenses, and user populations change.

At least 7 years of experience installing and supporting CAE tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, ANSA, LS-DYNA, or LS-PREPOST.
Working knowledge of Microsoft Azure infrastructure and operations, including virtual machines, storage, identity, monitoring, backup, and cost management.
Experience supporting Windows-based virtual desktop applications, such as Azure Virtual Desktop or Windows 365, or comparable hosted desktop environments.
Understanding of floating or concurrent software licensing models and license-server technologies.
Experience managing application licenses, SKUs, capacity, renewals, and usage reporting.
Ability to interpret vendor infrastructure and application requirements and translate them into implementable technical designs.

Responsibilities

Gather and document application requirements, including binaries, infrastructure, dependencies, user populations, licensing models, authentication, and installation sequencing.
Coordinate with ISI to install and configure CAE applications in Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop environments.
Identify applications requiring additional infrastructure, such as license servers, databases, integrations, HPC, or specialized VM configurations.
Support application testing, user validation, and transition to steady-state operations.
Participate in application and solution architecture reviews.
Support integration planning between CAE tools, 3DEXPERIENCE, requirements-management platforms, and data-transfer capabilities.
Document current- and target-state architectures, dependencies, and operational ownership.
Maintain an inventory of Microsoft and Azure Government license types, SKUs, assigned quantities, available capacity, and forecasted demand.
Monitor license consumption and initiate requests before capacity is exhausted.
Reconcile Azure Government charges to subscriptions, applications, environments, and users.
Prepare recurring cost reports and billing extracts.
Investigate unexpected usage, cost variances, and consumption trends with cloud, billing, finance, and ISI teams.
Maintain current cost forecasts as applications, infrastructure, licenses, and user populations change.
