Our client has openings for Unix Systems Engineers to work as part of a team to maintain, support, and update UNIX Solaris servers and be responsible for developing systems, products, or processes based on a total system perspective. This position focuses on defining enterprise requirements and required functionality early in the development cycle, documenting requirements, and then proceeding with design synthesis and system validation while considering the complete solution including planning, analysis, design development, testing, configuration, implementation, and support.
Specific functions include planning, analysis, UNIX systems design and development, assisting in risk assessment, monitoring and analyzing system capacity and performance. Additional functions include lab testing, quality assurance, configuration, and implementation. The selected candidate will work closely with teammates on tasks associated with requirements definition and participate in a System Requirements Review (SRR), Request for Change (RFC) development and Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) artifact development. Direct interaction with various project managers, matrixed internal teams and the client is required.
The selected candidate will ensure compliance with all quality processes as well as monitor core UNIX servers and performance reports in order to define action plans for improvements. He/she will be responsible for developing and fostering teamwork across all organizations in support of program objectives, and must possess the ability to interpret customer requirements and achieve best solutions (functional requirements). Since this is a very fast-paced environment, flexibility and creativity are necessary in order to adapt to environments where functional and business objectives evolve and change rapidly.
