  • Conduct routine security audits and vulnerability assessments of the lab infrastructure.
  • Enforce access control policies and ensure proper user authentication and authorization for the lab environment.
• Capacity Planning and Resource Management
  • Monitor system resource utilization (e.g., CPU, memory, storage) and proactively plan for scaling lab infrastructure to meet growing demands.
  • Work with program management team to forecast future lab requirements and help procure additional resources or equipment as necessary.
• Training and Support
  • Provide support to team members and other stakeholders when issues arise in the lab environment.
  • Offer guidance on lab environment usage, troubleshooting, and best practices to developers and other users.
• Collaboration with Fielded System Teams
  • Ensure the lab environment remains consistent with fielded systems, collaborating with fielded system teams to align configurations, updates, and deployments.
  • Help test and validate changes in the lab environment before deployment to the fielded systems.
• Physical Activities
• Must be able to life 50 lbs, work from a ladder, and use power tools
• Working Environment
• Job duties will be performed full-time in an office environment.
• Must be able to operate standard office equipment, such as a computer, copy machine, and printer.
