The performer shall participate in the investigation of relevant systems/subsystems performance including interconnecting networks, storage, patch management, the data flow on the networks, the performance of computers and the overall flow and handling of information across the hardware and software enterprise.

Work will consist of the effort required to support the operations and maintenance of HPC systems at FNMOC and shall include operational testing, validation, and documentation necessary for transition to operations. Work will extend to Cyber Security compliance and ensuring system backups occur correctly and on a regular basis. The performer shall be familiar with the High Performance Computing techniques, Linux Systems, system provisioning, Cyber Security Compliance, and be capable of addressing general system administration issues including addressing capacity issues that may affect application and processing performance. The performer shall participate in the investigation of relevant systems/subsystems including interconnecting networks, the data flow on the networks, the performance of computers and the overall flow and handling of information across the hardware and software enterprise.
