About the role
- Lead hardware provisioning activities, including advanced RAID configuration and disk array optimization, to meet performance and redundancy requirements for high-write-volume security applications such as video storage systems.
- Configure and validate Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) and Lifecycle Controller settings, ensuring firmware baselines are established using Dell OpenManage before OS deployment.
- Independently deploy operating systems via PXE boot automation or iDRAC Virtual Media methods, including Windows Server and hardened Linux distributions, ensuring compliance with corporate standards.
- Design and implement network segmentation strategies using VLANs and dedicated subnets to isolate physical security traffic (CCTV, PIDS, Intercom) from management networks.
- Configure Quality of Service (QoS) policies on Cisco Catalyst switches to prioritize high-bandwidth video streams, ensuring low latency and minimal packet loss for live monitoring and retention systems.
- Manage Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) budgeting and monitoring on access layer switches, ensuring reliable power delivery to IP cameras, door readers, and security panels.
- Implement network device hardening best practices on Cisco IOS devices, including Access Control Lists (ACLs), disabling unnecessary services, and securing management protocols (SSH/HTTPS).
- Coordinate with network engineers and physical security installation teams to validate network readiness, port activations, and successful device-to-server communication paths.
- Execute comprehensive validation testing, including bandwidth saturation tests, physical layer distance checks, and latency measurements, before operational handoff to sustainment teams.
- Develop detailed documentation, including logical and physical topology diagrams, VLAN matrices, IP assignment records, and configuration backups.
- Provide 24x7 technical support for all in-scope infrastructure systems, performing root cause analysis and implementing corrective actions for medium-complexity issues.
- Deliver weekly project status updates and maintain programming sheet validations, as-built documentation, and asset management system accuracy throughout the deployment lifecycle.
Requirements
- Related field experience with 6+ years of hands-on experience in enterprise server and network infrastructure deployment.
- Strong expertise in Dell PowerEdge server platforms, including RAID controllers (PERC), iDRAC configuration, firmware management, and Lifecycle Controller operations.
- Proficient in Cisco networking technologies, including Catalyst switches, VLAN configuration, QoS implementation, PoE management, and IOS security hardening.
- Solid experience with Windows Server and Linux operating system deployment, administration, and troubleshooting in enterprise environments.
- Working knowledge of scripting languages (Python, PowerShell) and automation tools for configuration management and deployment acceleration.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate across technical teams and provide mentorship to junior engineers while working in 24x7 rotational support models.
