What this job asks for AI summary
This role supports the U.S. Space Force Satellite Control Network by designing, upgrading, and administering servers, storage, and network infrastructure for a defense contractor. Day-to-day work spans system and network design, Windows and Linux administration, security patching, and on-site installation at customer locations (roughly 25% travel). It suits an experienced IT systems administrator comfortable working in a cleared, mission-critical government environment.

Why we read it this way (6)
No specific work location is stated in the posting beyond travel being 'local'; the CBSA could not be determined. CACI supports multiple US sites for the Space Force SCN program.
The title in the posting is 'Infrastructure Systems Administrator' but the body refers to the role as 'Systems Administration Design Engineer' — the role blends sysadmin operations with design/engineering duties, making 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) a plausible alternative classification.
The degree requirement states a BS in IT or equivalent field, but explicitly allows experience to substitute for the degree, so no minimum degree is flagged as a hard gate.
The DoD 8570.01 certification (Security+ or CISSP) is listed as required but obtainable within 90 days of hire; it is captured as a required skill reflecting that gate.
The broad salary range ($69,100–$141,500) likely reflects geographic and contract-labor-category variation across CACI's site footprint, as the posting itself notes.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
