Infrastructure Solutions Architect 5 #949340
Position Justification:
The individual is responsible for overseeing the maintenance and security of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Bureau of Laboratories (BOL) Bioinformatics and Sequencing Section local and cloud High-Performance Computing (HPC)
systems. Their duties include installing antivirus or malware protection software, responding to employee concerns, or drafting documents to help employees use computer systems, maintaining databases and software on the HPC system and coordinating with company leadership to determine new technologies that could enhance their Section’s computer systems. This position will work closely with bioinformatics staff, LIMS, DTMB and Google Cloud support teams on activities to perform needed analysis and provide technical feedback. Not having a resource on staff will result in a lower quality of support for MDHSS BOL. Current support is sometimes delayed due to other priorities. On-stie support is also required which requires planning by current support staff. Improvements in the current system architecture have been requested which will require more hours than current staff have capacity for.
