Systems Administrator, Lead Associate - TS​/SCI w​/poly

Responsibilities

We are currently seeking a Network / Desktop Administrator to support and maintain enterprise network and end-user computing infrastructure. This is a hybrid role combining hands-on switching and network support with desktop/endpoint administration. The ideal candidate is comfortable working across the stack — from configuring VLANs and port security on Cisco switches to imaging endpoints and troubleshooting Windows 10/11 clients — while delivering responsive, professional customer support to end users.

This role balances infrastructure work with day-to-day operational support and requires someone who can work independently on routine tasks and elevate appropriately on complex issues. Duties may also include:

• Configure, maintain, and troubleshoot Cisco switches running IOS-XE and NX-OS.
• Implement and manage port security, including MAC-based controls and violation remediation.
• Support enterprise network fundamentals: TCP/IP, subnetting, DHCP/DNS behavior, and Layer 2/Layer 3 troubleshooting.
• Support and help maintain VDI / thin-client infrastructure, including endpoint provisioning and connectivity troubleshooting.
• Perform endpoint imaging and deployment via PXE boot and associated deployment tooling.
• Administer Windows 10 and Windows 11 endpoints, including configuration, troubleshooting, and lifecycle support.
• Execute patch management and remediate vulnerabilities in response to IAVAs, ensuring systems remain compliant with security baselines and STIGs.
• Use CLI and administrative tooling — PuTTY, Power Shell, and Windows CMD — for configuration, diagnostics, and routine automation.
• Support STE/STN environment and associated operational procedures.
• Perform Active Directory tasks such as account and group management, OU navigation, and basic Group Policy awareness.
• Document configurations, procedures, and changes; follow existing standards and conventions.
• Provide high-quality customer service and end-user support, including ticket handling and clear communication with non-technical staff.
• Coordinate across teams on cross-functional dependencies.
