Senior System Administrator

The Solutions Group Llc, Annapolis, MD, United States


System Administrator, Mission Compute Infrastructure
Make an Impact Where It Matters Most
At Intelliforce, we support mission environments where performance, reliability, and speed are not optional. In this role, you will help sustain and evolve a high‑performance operational IT environment supporting CNO capabilities. This is not a ticket‑only admin role. You will work hands‑on with advanced compute infrastructure, including NVIDIA accelerator platforms, while helping improve how engineers work every day through stronger systems, better documentation, and smarter processes.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out
This role gives you real ownership over systems, workflows, and day‑to‑day mission support. You will install and sustain high‑performance hardware, improve warehouse and data center operations, build repeatable deployment playbooks, and partner directly with onsite admins and engineering teams to reduce downtime and keep things moving. The work is practical, visible, and tied to real mission outcomes.

At Intelliforce, your work is seen and your contribution matters. Because we support prime programs, our teams stay close to meaningful mission work with real momentum. Because we are a small business, leadership is accessible, communication is direct, and strong technical ownership gets noticed. Add in long‑term stability, strong benefits, and a people‑first culture, and this becomes more than another system administration role. It is a chance to help shape modern mission infrastructure while making tomorrow’s work easier than today’s.

Here’s What Your Day‑to‑Day Could Include

Install, configure, and maintain high‑performance compute hardware, including NVIDIA H100, H200, and B300 class accelerator platforms

Uninstall and relocate existing equipment to a government data warehouse while maintaining configuration integrity and proper tracking

Lead installation and sustainment efforts for new and legacy hardware within the warehouse environment

Document installation procedures, configurations, and lessons learned to create repeatable, scalable deployment playbooks

Build strong working relationships with onsite System Administrators to streamline troubleshooting and elevate priorities when mission timelines demand it

Identify gaps in onsite support coverage and recommend improvements to reduce downtime and response time

Partner directly with contract engineering teams to optimize system performance and user workflows

Maintain detailed technical documentation, diagrams, and standard operating procedures

Support virtualization efforts and contribute to long‑term IT modernization strategies

Adapt as mission requirements evolve, including future support for AWS, cloud integrations, and LLM infrastructure
