TL;DR · Principal Product Support Engineer

Federal Principal Product Support Engineer serves as a critical technical bridge between on-site federal customer teams and the internal engineering organization. This senior field-engineering role involves hands-on troubleshooting across the full infrastructure stack, including bare metal, hypervisors, networking, and containerized workloads. You will manage complex escalations by triaging root causes in live production environments, performing log analysis, and translating vague symptoms into structured defect reports for engineers. Key responsibilities include hardening systems to DISA STIG requirements, developing runbooks, and training managed services teams. The role requires deep expertise in VMware, KVM/libvirt, Kubernetes, Linux, Windows Server, and enterprise networking protocols like TCP/IP and VXLAN. You will also manage observability tools such as Prometheus and Grafana while ensuring the security and operational stability of HPE Private Cloud Enterprise environments for federal clients.

What you'll do

  • Perform hands-on troubleshooting across the full infrastructure stack including bare metal, hypervisors, networking, and containerized workloads.
  • Act as the primary technical bridge between field teams and engineering by translating vague symptoms into structured defect reports.
  • Investigate root causes in live production environments using log analysis and service-level debugging to drive permanent fixes.
  • Validate engineering patches and product updates in customer environments before they are rolled out for broader use.
  • Train managed services teams by creating runbooks, conducting technical walkthroughs, and developing standard operating procedures.
  • Harden customer environments to meet DISA STIG requirements and support federal audit readiness activities.
  • Monitor customer environments to triage alerts and improve dashboard and observability tooling.
  • Produce executive-level incident summaries and internal knowledge base articles following the resolution of major issues.

What we're looking for

  • U.S. Citizenship is required.
  • Active Secret clearance is highly preferred, or must be eligible to obtain one.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
  • 10+ years of hands-on experience in infrastructure engineering, systems administration, or technical support.
  • Demonstrated depth in at least three areas: VMware/KVM, Kubernetes, Linux administration, enterprise networking, Windows Server, or hybrid cloud.
  • Proven experience performing hands-on troubleshooting across the full stack including bare metal, hypervisors, and networking.
  • Experience acting as a liaison between field teams and engineering to write structured defect reports.
  • Proficiency in federal compliance standards such as DISA STIGs and NIST 800-53.
