Headquartered in Reston, Va., Empower AI leverages three decades of experience solving complex challenges in Health, Defense, and Civilian missions. The result is a government workforce that is exponentially more creative and productive.

Empower AI is proud to be recognized as a 2024 Military Friendly Employer by Viqtory, the publisher of G.I. Jobs. This designation reflects the company's commitment to hiring and supporting active-duty and veteran employees.

As the DSCA Deskside Technician, you will serve as the on-site technical subject matter expert for the 6.14.18 Defense Security Cooperation Agency Support task as part of DISA's Command, Control, Communications, and Computers Enterprise Directorate (C4E) J6 Service Delivery contract. You will independently apply systems analysis techniques and specialized technical knowledge to analyze and resolve hardware, software, and connectivity incidents for Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) personnel across NIPRNet, SIPRNet, and higher classification networks at the Crystal City, VA and Monterey, CA sites;

design and modify workstation imaging configurations based on user-specific functional specifications; serve as a Trusted Agent under DoD PKI policy for SIPRNet PKI token issuance; analyze cyber vulnerability data and select appropriate remediation approaches across the endpoint fleet; and consult with users to determine functional specifications for hardware, software, peripheral, and authentication configurations. Each incident, token request, vulnerability remediation, and configuration decision is a discrete systems-analysis problem requiring independent technical judgment applied to a user-specific or system-specific fact pattern.

In assuming this position, you will be a critical contributor to meeting Empower AI's mission:
To deliver innovative, cost-effective solutions and services that enable our customers to rapidly adapt to dynamic environments.

The primary duty of this position is the independent application of systems analysis techniques and specialized technical knowledge to: analyze and diagnose incidents and select appropriate remediation for DSCA personnel across two sites; design and modify workstation imaging and software configurations to user-specific functional specifications; exercise Trusted Agent authority under DoD PKI policy for SIPRNet PKI token issuance; analyze cyber vulnerability data and select remediation approaches;

and consult with users to determine functional specifications. Each incident, token request, vulnerability remediation, and configuration decision is a discrete systems-analysis problem applied to a user-specific or system-specific fact pattern. The candidate exercises discretion and independent judgment in diagnosis, in resolution path selection, in PKI Trusted Agent authentication decisions, in vulnerability remediation prioritization, and in configuration design — without continuous direct supervision on individual technical decisions, and across geographically separated locations.

Technical execution of the resulting decisions is incidental to and performed in furtherance of this primary analytical duty.

• Independently analyzes and diagnoses hardware, software, and connectivity incidents for DSCA personnel across NIPRNet, SIPRNet, and higher classification networks; determines root cause through systems analysis techniques and selects technically appropriate remediation for each incident based on user-specific and system-specific fact patterns.
• Consults with DSCA users to determine functional specifications for hardware, software, peripheral, and authentication configurations; designs configuration approaches that meet user-specific operational requirements while maintaining J6 baseline compliance.
• Designs and modifies workstation imaging configurations based on user-specific functional specifications; determines premium-load and user-unique software configurations for each workstation; exercises specialized…
