  • DoD 8570.11-IAT Level II certification (Security+ CE, CCNA-Security, GSEC, or SSCP) at time of consideration.
  • Advanced knowledge of storage systems architecture, lifecycle engineering, and infrastructure modernization principles.
  • Demonstrated experience with NetApp, Dell EMC, Hitachi, VMware vSAN, and other storage technologies.
  • Working knowledge of enterprise computing environments, server virtualization (VMware), and backup technologies like NetBackup, Commvault, or Veeam.
