It's a Linux-based fiesta with a Juniper twist, and we promise, it's cooler than your favorite superhero's secret lair.

Major Duties/Responsibilities

· Be the maestro orchestrating the FRIB tech symphony - from automated Linux system installations to jazzy network configurations and everything in between.

· Sprinkle your magic on the FRIB office infrastructure network and our NSCL controls infrastructure network – because even supercomputers need a little TLC.

· Embrace your independence as you whip up moderately complex solutions to system issues, all while providing diagnostic support that would make Sherlock Holmes proud.

· Solve routine tech problems like a ninja in a room full of rubber ducks – with style and flair.

· Recognize when things get as tricky as quantum physics and call in the reinforcements (a.k.a. your awesome Business IT crew).

· Dance to the rhythm of FRIB policies and best practices, and join the Agile Scrum team – where every sprint is a new adventure.

· Manage projects with the finesse of a tightrope walker, all within the FRIB project management framework. Skills, meet thrills.

Position Duties

· Execute tasks like a tech ninja on a mission, meeting milestones and performance objectives (think of them as high scores).

· Follow approved work control plans like they're the ultimate cheat codes – because we're all about winning.

· Stop work when things get weirder than a sci-fi plot twist and inform line management – because even IT heroes need a break.

· Craft quality work under the watchful eye of your line manager – we promise, it's not as intimidating as it sounds.

· Juggle multiple assignments with the finesse of a circus performer – no clowning around, just quality work under pressure.

· Maintain division/department policies like you're guarding the gates of tech heaven.

· Dive into new systems and projects, because at FRIB, we don't fear the unknown – we embrace it.

· Be the tech maestro accountable for delivering quality work – cue the applause.

Qualifications Required

· Bachelor’s degree and 2-4 years of experience in the tech arena; or equivalent combo of education and experience (because who needs sleep when you have tech puzzles to solve?).

· Ability to complete responsibilities with the finesse of an APA 10 – the superhero of tech roles.

Desired

· Knowledge acquired through the first few years of college, technical school, or a dance-off in a STEM field (Associate's Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or STEM, anyone?) with a side of programming coursework.

· Programming wizardry in C, C++, Python – or a Bachelor's Degree in the magical arts of Computer Science, Information Systems, or STEM with a programming flair.

· Up to six months of tech-related experience – because we all started somewhere.

· Shell scripting skills that make BASH jealous.

· Functional knowledge of version control systems, specifically Git (because tracking changes is serious business).

· Linux command-line prowess, specifically BASH – because real superheroes don't need a GUI.

· Experience with system configuration management using Puppet, Ansible, etc. – because setting up systems should be as easy as pie.

· Ethernet networking know-how; TCP/IP, switching, routing, etc. – because even our data likes to travel in style.

· Familiarity with system virtualization or container technologies: VMWare, KVM, LXC/Docker – because virtual worlds need tech heroes too.

· Ability to acquire new tech skills and use them to contribute to FRIB projects – because the only constant is change.
