  • Validate installation success, service functionality, and system stability across Windows, Linux, and Cisco systems.
  • Troubleshoot patch installation failures and identify root causes for technical issues.
  • Prepare approved patch packages and deployment instructions for remote production implementation teams.
  • Maintain standard operating procedures, troubleshooting guides, and validation checklists.
  • Develop scripts and utilities to automate repetitive patching, data collection, and reporting tasks.
  • Produce status reports and compliance evidence to support cybersecurity risk reduction.

What we're looking for

  • U.S. citizenship is required.
  • Must be able to obtain a Department of Defense Secret security clearance.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related Science/Mathematics field plus 5 years of relevant experience, or a Master's degree plus 3 years.
  • Hold or have held CySA+ certification.
  • Hold or have held Linux+, LPIC-1, RHCSA, or RHCSE certification.
  • Working knowledge of vulnerability management, patch management, and security remediation processes.
  • Working knowledge of Windows, Linux, and Cisco patch installation, system administration, and troubleshooting.
  • Experience with bash, PowerShell, and Batch scripting.
  • Intermediate Excel and Word skills.
  • Experience with Solaris SPARC operating systems.
  • Experience interpreting Nessus findings and correlating vulnerabilities with remediation guidance.
  • Experience updating Cisco Firewalls, Switches, and Routers (preferred).
  • Experience with WSUS, ConfigMgr/MECM/SCCM, Red Hat Satellite, Ansible, WinGet Server, or RHEL Repo mirror (preferred).
