Job Description
We are looking for a Secret-cleared Mid-Level Systems Administrator to provide hands-on support within a technical/lab environment. This individual will be responsible for the day-to-day administration, maintenance, troubleshooting, and support of both Windows and Linux systems, while also assisting with basic networking and connectivity issues.

The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in systems administration and is comfortable working across multiple operating systems rather than specializing in only one. They should be willing to learn new technologies, work hands-on with equipment in a lab environment, and take ownership of assigned tasks through resolution. This person will also be expected to document their work, communicate status and issues to the team, and help maintain reliable and secure day-to-day system operations.

- Security+ or relevant Systems Administration certification, such as Linux+
- Networking knowledge and/or certifications, such as Cisco certifications
- Experience troubleshooting hardware, software, operating system, and connectivity issues
- Ability and willingness to learn technologies outside of their primary area of expertise
Nice to Haves
- Hands-on experience supporting systems in a lab/test environment
- Additional Linux, Windows, or networking certifications
- Strong willingness and enthusiasm to learn
- Proactive, hands-on troubleshooting mentality
- Experience supporting both system administration and networking tasks
Day to Day
- Provide Tier 1/2 support across Windows and Linux systems
- Troubleshoot hardware, software, operating system, user, and network connectivity issues
- Perform system configuration, maintenance, updates, and monitoring
- Support equipment and systems in a hands-on lab environment
- Assist with basic networking configuration and troubleshooting
