You’ll also be responsible for Scientific and Research LANs and supporting core and closet switches, PB-scale storage systems, advanced desktop computers, connections to research systems such as SCADA and LCS systems, and user support.

You’ll ensure equipment is maintained while providing infrastructure planning support to improve and develop new capability and capacity, including scheduling preventative maintenance, performing patching and upgrading of research software and systems, planning and implementing hardware or software refreshes or upgrades, and ensuring systems are prepared to enable disaster recovery if necessary. You’ll lead support to the client’s HPC refresh and coordinate work between our subcontractors, the federal client, site support personnel, and vendors performing logistical support for the physical changeout of the old HPC and installation of the new HPC. You’ll develop client offerings and comprehensive solutions in the HPC space and produce intellectual capital supportive of client engagement, sales, business development, and capture. You’ll hold core responsibilities for the development and execution of market entry and business expansion strategies, support sales activities throughout the sales cycle, and meet client service-level expectations by being physically present at client site as needed to respond to client needs.
