Are you looking for an opportunity to combine your technical skills with big-picture thinking to make an impact on national security? You understand your customer's environment and how to develop the right systems for the mission. Your ability to translate real-world needs into technical specifications makes you an integral part of delivering a customer-focused engineering solution.

As an MCTP Technical Support Admin / Tech on our team, you'll support the integrated technical environment that enables large-scale, computer-based Army training. Depending on assignment, you may administer enterprise infrastructure and Mission Command Information Systems (MCIS), operate and sustain the Joint Land Component Constructive Training Capability (JLCCTC), or support the Archiving and Enhanced Retrieval (ARCHER) capability. Your work will keep constructive simulations, command-and-control systems, exercise networks, collaborative services, and After-Action Review (AAR) tools available, secure, interoperable, and exercise-ready for commanders and battle staffs from battalion through echelons above corps.

• System architecture and integration:
  Plan and implement scalable server, storage, virtualization, and network architectures supporting JLCCTC, ARCHER, MCIS, and distributed exercise environments. Integrate and validate simulation stimulation and end-to-end connectivity between constructive simulations and live Army Mission Command systems.
• Systems administration:
  Install, configure, harden, operate, and maintain Windows and Linux servers, workstations, virtual machines, VMware/Hyper-V clusters, SAN/NAS storage, user accounts, role-based access controls, security settings, firmware, and supporting hardware and peripheral devices.

• JLCCTC operations:
  Install, configure, deploy, test, operate, optimize, and troubleshoot JLCCTC applications and constructive simulation tools, including WARSIM, Joint Deployment Logistics Model (JDLM), and FIRESIM. Validate simulation outputs and their stimulation of Mission Command environments across offensive, defensive, stability, and civil-support training scenarios.
• ARCHER operations and data management:
  Install, configure, troubleshoot, and maintain ARCHER hardware and software in stand-alone and networked modes. Configure ingestion of live and historical Ground, Air, Logistics, Intelligence, and Fires data; maintain data integrity, redundancy, synchronization, and on-site/off-site storage for future reuse.
• AAR, analytics, and visualization:
  Capture, centralize, replay, analyze, and export exercise data. Automate real-time and historical reports for combat power, effectiveness, weapon counts, logistics, and volume of fire; scale data to AAR themes; and export products to Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, and Excel.
• Common operational picture and GIS:
  Produce a three-dimensional Common Operational Picture showing BLUEFOR and OPFOR dispositions with time-stamped replay for adjudication. Conduct…
