Elite Technical is seeking a HPC Linux System Administrator to conduct Satellite Data Management Support in support of the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) in Monteray, California. The objective of this position is to provide system administration support for all aspects of the FNMOC systems that support high-volume processing of satellite data. The position requires the ability to integrate new types of satellite-related data flows (various formats, file sizes, addressing storage space issues, and file quantities) and to ensure down-stream applications can handle and manipulate the data. The performer shall provide maintenance and support to multicore HPC and virtualized and hardware-based infrastructure (typically running mail, Domain Name System (DNS), an identity management system (Red Hat Identity Management System [IdM] or Light Weight Directory Protocol [LDAP]), and data routing) systems, to include all associated subsystems. Support also extends to supporting FNMOC-s backup processes. 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.
