Lab Manager - II

DigiFlight•Columbia, MD

About The Position

This role involves applying advanced analytical skills and technical resources to implement infrastructure solutions that support command decision-making and mission requirements. The position supports the implementation of new technologies and equipment in the lab environment, providing ongoing systems administration, technical support, upgrades, patching, and troubleshooting services. A key responsibility is providing full coverage for Linux or Unix system administration functions to support the TEN infrastructure. The role also includes managing assigned project components, advising on the development of lab standard operating procedures (SOPs) and policies, and maintaining configuration and support documentation. Security concepts, theories, insights, tools, and methodologies are employed to mitigate system weaknesses and vulnerabilities. The position performs large-scale configuration management and deployment across various operating systems and virtual environments, monitors RedHat platforms for security and health, and creates/maintains daily reports. Automation solutions for next-generation application platforms are developed using technologies like RedHat Openshift, RedHat Ansible automation, Docker, Kubernetes, and Podman. Integration and configuration of COTS, GOTS, and third-party applications into RedHat Openshift are required, along with the ability to manage, maintain, and patch containerized applications. Automation solutions for deploying systems and applications to virtual and physical devices using RedHat Openshift, RedHat Ansible Tower, and RedHat Satellite are also developed and supported. Implementation of granular access control, system monitoring for performance and accessibility, establishing backups, and monitoring system security are crucial. Complex storage problems across the enterprise, related to storage and replication strategies across local and wide area networks, will be troubleshooted and resolved. Channels for storage-related network and system issues will be monitored and remediated. Finally, the role involves examining and identifying efficiencies in existing procedures, with customer approval.
