Network and Computer Systems Administrator

Innovative Technology Partnerships LLC (ITP) seeks an on-site Network and Computer Systems Administrator to support NAVAIR PMA-290 MOSS at the Integrated Test Facility (ITF), NAS Patuxent River, MD. The SA serves as the primary integration specialist maintaining, operating, and configuring mission-critical Ground Support Stations (GSSs) for the ITF and deployable squadrons. The position manages the full media lifecycle—baseline image ingestion, mirror drive duplication, post-cloning cryptographic verification (SHA-256), NIST SP 800-88 sanitization, and physical delivery of aircraft payloads. Additionally, the SA acts as the primary technical liaison between vendors, engineering, Cybersecurity, and operational squadrons. This is a 100% on-site role in classified spaces.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Ground Support Station Administration: Lead GSS SA for ground environments; handle OS rebuilds, patch deployments, account administration, DISA STIG hardening, end-to-end dataflow testing, and hardware troubleshooting.
• CM & Drive Action Queue: Prioritize the Drive Action Queue, manage baseline ingestion, maintain gold disk retention policies, and prepare delivery drive sets for operational squadrons.
• Duplication, Verification & Sanitization: Operate hardware duplicators (e.g., Logicube SuperSonix-NG), perform 100% SHA-256 hash verification, and execute NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 sanitization per ITF SOPs.
• Field Deployment & Vendor Support: Act as technical liaison for software deliveries, support squadron detachments with site checkouts and training, and manage secure media chain-of-custody hand-offs.
• Documentation & Lab Operations: Author PSOPs, work instructions, and checklists while maintaining lab turnaround benchmarks for save, restore, and tape archiving.
• Adaptability: Execute other duties as assigned, demonstrating flexibility to evolving program priorities.
