Peraton is seeking a Systems Engineer to support a complex, multi-year contract providing Systems Engineering and Integration support to DISA. The work performed on this contract is mission-critical and offers team members the opportunity to work autonomously while developing expertise in cross domain technologies. The Systems Engineer will support a high priority, high visibility development, integration, and implementation effort for a mission-critical DISA Cross Domain program. The selected candidate will contribute to multiple concurrent tasks and collaborate across engineering and mission teams. The successful candidate will be a motivated, forward-leaning engineer with strong technical fundamentals and the ability to grow into more senior responsibilities within a dynamic customer environment. The ideal candidate demonstrates a commitment to delivering high-quality work, continuous learning, and effective collaboration within a team environment. This individual is expected to quickly come up to speed, operate with a high degree of autonomy, and proactively contribute to mission objectives. The role requires the ability to adapt to evolving priorities in a dynamic, fast-paced environment while maintaining attention to detail and technical excellence. Primary Responsibilities • Support decomposition of customer and system requirements in alignment with cross-domain roadmaps. • Assist in the design, implementation, and maintenance of cross domain systems and infrastructure, including servers, networks, storage systems, and software applications. • Strong understanding to configure and maintain physical and virtual environments, including VMware and ESXi systems. • Apply and validate system security configurations, including DISA STIGs (Security Technical Implementation Guides), to ensure compliance with security requirements. • Perform hands-on hardware and software configuration of systems, including network configuration and cabling. • Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements and support development of technical solutions aligned with mission and security objectives. • Install, configure, and troubleshoot IT system components to ensure stability and performance. • Work with customers, mission partners, program managers, and other technical team members to support system integration activities. • Assist in the creation and maintenance of automation scripts (e.g. Ansible, Python, Bash, etc..) to streamline deployments, support internal lab environment projects and perfective maintenance priorities of the program. • Provide support to system infrastructure, network security, and Authorization & Accreditation (A&A) activities. • Develop and maintain technical documentation and assist with Engineering Implementation Plans. • Support integration, testing, verification, and validation activities for systems and components. • Track hardware, software, and configuration changes to support documentation updates and system baselines. • Provide input to training materials and support knowledge sharing across the team.
