This position requires you to maintain internet service and a mobile phone with voice and data plans to be used when required for work. Purpose The CRSP Support Technician provides specialized Tier 1 and Tier 2 technical support for faculty, researchers, and staff working within CRSP-managed secure research environments. This role goes well beyond standard campus help desk support — the technician operates within a federally regulated computing environment where every support interaction has compliance implications. The position is the primary operational contact for day-to-day researcher needs inside the enclave: account access, system issues, onboarding, and compliance-adjacent troubleshooting. The technician works closely with senior engineers to escalate, document, and resolve issues in a manner consistent with CUI requirements, and plays a key role in maintaining the researcher experience without compromising the integrity of the secure environment. Responsibilities Tier 1 / Tier 2

Researcher-Facing Support:

Serve as the primary point of contact for CRSP users — receiving, triaging, and resolving support tickets for issues within the Secure Research Environment. Provide Tier 1 and Tier 2 troubleshooting for endpoint, application access, connectivity, and account management issues specific to the CUI enclave. Escalate complex or compliance-sensitive issues to senior engineers with thorough documentation and context. Guide researchers through system access procedures, explaining CUI handling requirements and enclave constraints clearly and accessibly. Conduct new user onboarding within the secure environment: account provisioning, orientation, and baseline compliance verification.

Compliance & Documentation Support:

Assist with collection and maintenance of compliance artifacts required for ongoing CUI assessments, including access logs, onboarding records, and training completion documentation. Support Technology Control Plan (TCP) tracking and documentation activities for active research projects. Contribute to the development and upkeep of user-facing SOPs, knowledge base articles, and training materials tailored to the CRSP environment. Identify and flag compliance-adjacent issues encountered during support interactions — communicating findings to senior engineers and the CRSP Director.

Enclave Operations Assistance:

Support senior engineers with routine enclave operations: account lifecycle tasks, access reviews, patch verification, and endpoint compliance checks. Monitor enclave system status and escalate anomalies per CRSP incident response procedures. Maintain accurate, complete records of all support activities, resolutions, and open issues in the CRSP ticketing system. Assist with hardware and peripheral support for SRE workstations and lab environments.

Program Operations:

Participate in CRSP working group sessions and contribute to operational planning as directed. Assist with logistics and coordination for compliance activities, training sessions, audits, and assessments. Perform other related functions as assigned.

Demonstrated experience supporting users in enterprise or regulated computing environments. Working knowledge of Windows and Linux operating systems in networked environments.

Familiarity with information security fundamentals:

access control, user account management, data handling, and incident escalation. Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts and compliance requirements to non-technical research staff. Experience with ITSM/ticketing systems (ServiceNow, Jira, or equivalent). Ability to manage multiple open tickets simultaneously and prioritize effectively under compliance-driven timelines. Ability to work on-site at the SRE facility as needed. Equivalent combination of relevant education and experience may be substituted as appropriate. Preferred Qualifications Experience supporting users in compliance-regulated environments (CUI, CMMC, HIPAA, ITAR, or similar). Familiarity with NIST SP 800-171 or CMMC Level 2 compliance frameworks. CompTIA A+, Security+, or equivalent certification. Experience with GovCloud or FedRAMP-authorized cloud platforms (Azure GovCloud, AWS GovCloud).
