SAS requires a CITE Facility Administrator to execute spanning five key disciplines:

Network Management

Network Design/Architecture

Network Systems Engineering

Network Installation/Maintenance

Information Systems Security Engineering

SAS requires experienced Network Managers/Administrators with Radio Frequency systems and components familiarity who are capable of reliably executing the following responsibilities:

Consult and coordinate with external organizations to resolve network, system, server, or other development and test infrastructure issues

Identify and select IT products, tools, services, and infrastructure components for development systems

Strategize/design/select architectures and procedures required to solve complex infrastructure problems

Develop/contribute to/evaluate technical proposals for changes to CITE facility networks

Install and customize as necessary HW and/or SW components into development and test infrastructure computer systems and networks

Maintain computer system and network HW or SW, including UPS network

Manage, monitor, and control networks

Troubleshoot networks, computers, and peripheral devices to isolate causes of failures/issues

Conduct site surveys for IT installations

Validate testing and quality assurance of development and test infrastructure systems

Analyze infrastructure problems to determine technical solutions

Identify new and existing products, technologies, and/or architectures to solve design, development, and test problems

Perform high-level design, specifying system and component performance and interface requirements

Translate conceptual designs into technical specifications

Install, test, troubleshoot, repair, maintain, configure, and improve development and test infrastructure equipment

Perform all life cycle support: HW, SW, firmware, and configuration upgrades or modifications to currently installed development and test infrastructure equipment

Effect repair and modification of HW components to include micro-soldering to replace components, repair traces to keep systems/devices in operating condition, and facilitate reverse engineering efforts

Maintaining awareness of new, emerging, and evolving technology, tools, and trends applicable to mobile/RF development and testing infrastructure networks requirements

Knowledge of the concepts, principles, and theories of telecommunications, including their components and associated protocols and standards, and how they integrate with one another (e.g. transmissions, switching, routing management)

Experience in the design, implementation, and operation of telecommunications systems

Familiarity with the specifications, uses, and types of security hardware and software options

Understanding of the concepts and principles of computer security

Using the principles and key elements of Configuration Management to plan, manage, or document the implementation, modification, or integration of systems

Implementing, configuring, and sustaining computer/network security solutions (e.g. encryption, firewalls, anti-virus rule sets, and intrusion detection/prevention systems)

Planning, coordinating, and administering the installation, testing, operating, troubleshooting, and maintenance of hardware and software systems
