• Support Autodesk AutoCAD, Revit, ReCap, and related engineering applications.
• Monitor and maintain Windows, Unix, and Linux server infrastructure supporting CAD/CAE environments.
• Troubleshoot complex engineering application, server, storage, and performance issues.
• Support SAN/NetApp storage environments, data backups, replication, and disaster recovery activities.
• Perform system security patching, vulnerability remediation, and Active Directory administration in accordance with FAA requirements.
• Provide advanced technical support to engineering teams and maintain system documentation and performance reports.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree with 8+ years of relevant experience or Master's degree with 6+ years of relevant experience. Additional relevant experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Hands-on systems administration experience with at least ONE of the following:
  • Bentley ProjectWise: Administration, configuration, user management, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
  • Autodesk Vault: Administration, configuration, user management, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
• Technical experience supporting Autodesk AutoCAD, Revit, and ReCap.
• Experience with enterprise server administration, networking, and storage technologies, including SAN/NetApp.
• Knowledge of Windows, Unix, and Linux operating environments.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex engineering application and infrastructure issues.
• Strong communication, documentation, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to obtain and maintain FAA Suitability/Public Trust clearance prior to starting.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting engineering IT environments within the FAA, DoD, or other federal agencies.
• Experience administering NetApp storage and performing disaster recovery testing.
• Experience managing CAD application licensing servers and engineering document management systems.
• Experience supporting large-format plotting systems.
