Build mission-ready tech that protects the nation.

Secure cyber training environments need Windows systems that can be deployed, configured, tested, and removed consistently through automation. We need a Windows Systems Automation Engineer who can combine Windows administration, cloud engineering, and infrastructure-as-code practices to build reliable and repeatable environments supporting Department of Defense missions.

On our team, you’ll engineer Windows Server and workstation capabilities for isolated, cloud-based cyber ranges. You’ll automate Active Directory, DNS, Group Policy, domain joins, security hardening, software installation, patching, and endpoint configuration using Power Shell and infrastructure as code.

You’ll develop reusable deployment components, bootstrap scripts, and automated machine-image pipelines. You’ll also integrate Windows systems with cloud services for identity, secrets management, logging, monitoring, and remote administration. Your work will help ensure environments can be securely deployed and completely removed without relying on manual configuration.

You’ll collaborate with platform engineers, network engineers, cybersecurity SMEs, and range operators to troubleshoot identity, authentication, configuration, and application issues. You’ll apply STIGs, remediate vulnerabilities, document system designs, and continuously improve deployment reliability.

What You'll Work On:

Automate Windows Server and workstation deployments using AWS CDK, Cloud Formation, Terraform, or similar infrastructure-as-code tools

Design and maintain Active Directory, DNS, Group Policy, and identity services for isolated range environments

Develop advanced Power Shell scripts for provisioning, domain joins, configuration management, security auditing, and software installation

Build and maintain reusable Windows machine images through automated image pipelines

Apply STIGs and other security‑hardening standards to Windows servers and endpoints

Automate patching, vulnerability remediation, inventory, and compliance reporting

Integrate systems with secrets management, logging, monitoring, and remote‑management services

Develop automated tests and deployment validation to identify configuration issues before release

Troubleshoot complex Windows, Active Directory, authentication, networking, and application issues

Maintain technical documentation, configuration standards, and operational runbooks
