About The Position

The System Engineer reports to the MSTP Project Manager and receives work direction derivatives from the Communications and Information Systems Lead. This role involves maintaining MSTP server, virtualization, and enterprise system environments, and engineering, integrating, and troubleshooting system components including servers, operating systems (Windows/Linux), storage solutions, virtualization platforms, and related services. The position requires developing, updating, and maintaining system installation guides, configuration standards, operating procedures, and training materials. It also includes conducting system testing, evaluation, and validation to ensure readiness for exercises, wargames, and operational events, as well as identifying and resolving system failures or degradations. The System Engineer will maintain system-level boundary defense and security configurations in coordination with cybersecurity personnel, create and maintain system architecture diagrams, logical/physical configuration documentation, and systems-level dashboards/reports. Support for cross-boundary system integration and management of work tasks through the Marine Corps ERIS (Remedy) system are also key responsibilities. The role involves performing pre-event system checks, lifecycle maintenance, software updates, patches, and configuration changes, as well as assisting with system log monitoring, security alerts, and compliance requirements. Collaboration with network engineers, cybersecurity personnel, and CIS leadership is essential to ensure system configurations align with MSTP exercise requirements.
