What You’ll Do

As an ESS Engineer and Administrator, you won’t just maintain systems — you’ll elevate them.

  • Ensuring reliable and secure endpoint operations across all clients and servers.
  • Troubleshooting ESS deployments and policy rollouts across local and remote systems.
  • Conducting threat analysis and crafting custom security rules tailored to advanced exploits and vulnerabilities.
  • Providing in-depth reporting on system health, event trends, and module performance.
  • Supporting major updates and compliance efforts, including STIG-mandated Trellix upgrades.
  • Helping design and evaluate network components and develop cutting-edge technical solutions.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Active Top Secret clearance (SCI eligible).
  • 8+ years of IT experience , including 2+ years focused on ESS (or equivalent experience in lieu of degree).
  • DOD 8570 IAT Level II certification or higher.
  • Expertise in Windows Server 2016+ and endpoint platforms such as Trellix Agent, ENS FW, PA, DLP, RSD, and ePO.
  • Strong analytical skills with a knack for troubleshooting under pressure.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • TS/SCI clearance and DOD 8570 IAT Level III certification.
  • Hands-on experience with RedHat Enterprise Linux, VMware, Microsoft Hypervisor, or RedHat VM Manager.
  • Familiarity with SADR environments and maintaining ePO servers.
  • Completion of Basic and Advanced ESS DISA training.

If you're ready to take on one of the most vital roles in national security cyber defense — let’s talk . This is your chance to lead from the front in safeguarding critical systems at one of the country’s most strategic sites.

For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.
