IT Support Specialist providing engineering department IT support at Boston Government Services in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Collaborating closely with engineering leads and external stakeholders to address IT needs.
Responsibilities
Serve as the dedicated primary point of contact for all IT-related matters within the Engineering department, including escalated issues, project-specific requests, and proactive system improvements.
Provide Tier 1 and Tier 2 technical support to Engineering team members, troubleshooting hardware (e.g., workstations, CAD laptops, servers, peripherals), software (e.g., CAD tools like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, ANSYS; simulation software; PLM systems; data analysis tools), networks, and cloud-based platforms.
Act as the IT liaison for Engineering projects — both internal (e.g., new tool deployments, lab setups, data migration for R&D initiatives) and external (e.g., secure file sharing with clients/vendors, integration of collaborative tools, remote access for partner reviews, compliance with external project requirements).
Collaborate closely with Engineering leads, project managers, and external stakeholders to assess IT needs for upcoming projects, recommend solutions, and ensure timely implementation (e.g., setting up secure environments for prototype testing or client demos).
Supports the installation, configuration, maintenance, and upgrade of engineering-specific hardware and software, including licensing management, workstation imaging, and performance optimization for compute-intensive tasks.
Monitor and maintain department-specific IT assets, ensuring high availability, security, and compliance (e.g., data backups, access controls for sensitive IP, cybersecurity for project-related tools).
Document processes, resolutions, and best practices; create knowledge base articles tailored to Engineering workflows to reduce recurring issues and empower self-service where possible.
Coordinate with the broader IT team for infrastructure support, escalations, and company-wide initiatives while prioritizing Engineering needs.
Participate in project planning meetings to provide IT input, identify potential technical risks, and contribute to smooth execution.
Stay current on emerging technologies relevant to engineering (e.g., cloud CAD, AI-assisted design tools, VR/AR for prototyping) and propose improvements to enhance productivity.
