Lead active storage migration initiatives, including transitions to vSAN based platforms, developing migration plans, validating configurations, and ensuring continuity of operations throughout the migration lifecycle. Evaluate and recommend the appropriate mix of on premises, cloud native, and hybrid architectural approaches to achieve a right sized environment, with explicit consideration of program specific physical testing dependencies, enclave boundary constraints, and total cost of ownership. Develop and maintain authoritative infrastructure architecture documentation, including current state assessments, target state designs, hardware lifecycle gap analyses, network diagrams, dependency maps, and decision records, in Government approved repositories and transferable formats Required qualifications to be successful in this role: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field; or equivalent combination of education and experience.
