Systems Engineering
Professional Communities of BYU staff and administrative personnel exist to promote professional and career development. Each community is led by experienced, capable personnel who constitute a council to help achieve the developmental objectives of the members of the community. The Career Development Council (CDC) develops a career framework that describes the path for professional growth within a community and the skills necessary to move along that path. The CDC also recognizes and rewards the significant developmental milestones of the community members.
The Systems Engineering community includes employees who design, implement and support systems, servers, storage, platforms and data.
Systems engineers are critical to the development, maintenance and security of a company’s technology infrastructure. As a systems engineer, you will be responsible for installing, testing, configuring and optimizing computer hardware and software systems. Additional responsibilities include:
- Monitor existing systems to ensure structural integrity.
- Oversee the development and installation of new hardware and software.
- Install and configure operating systems and other software and routinely test installed software for glitch detection and other issues.
- Provide technical direction to IT support staff.
- Ensure constant availability of technical resources.
- Design and implement security systems and redundant backups to maintain data safety.
- Write custom scripts to reduce the need for human intervention.
