In secure facilities, this position will work with the designated APL security and IT system administration units to manage IT infrastructure (hardware, software, network) and best apply it to experiments within established security policy and procedures. Our technology development efforts are building systems that automatically or autonomously orchestrate sensors, process data into information, and make intelligent inferences and predictions about complex threats and environments. Our work enables the US military to neutralize a wider variety of serious threats from safer distances than they could otherwise accomplish; improves the safety, survivability, and effectiveness of US air, naval, and ground forces; and disrupts the ability of potential adversaries to threaten our forces. As a Linux IT Administrator and Laboratory Manager Your primary responsibility will be to manage, equip, and maintain multiple laboratory facilities, operating at different security classification levels. You will provide the hardware and software infrastructure for technology development and testing including in-house and field experiments. You will collaborate with the designated APL security and IT system administration units as needed to provide the IT network infrastructure for in-house and field experiments. You will support test event preparation, coordination, execution, data management (including retrieval, transfer, and archiving), pre- and post-analysis, and documentation.
