Hewlett Packard Enterprise is looking for a systems administration intern to join the HPC and AI Data Center Administration team. Our administrators operate the high-performance computing and AI laboratory systems used across HPE engineering, and this intern works alongside them on the security, monitoring, and visibility side of that work.

The intern will help identify where lab systems lack expected monitoring, logging, and vulnerability scanning coverage, build repeatable reports, document hardening expectations, and improve the team's ability to track remediation work. Over the term, the intern produces a system visibility baseline and a set of tools and documentation the team continues to use after the internship ends.

This is a strong opportunity for a student interested in Linux systems administration, cybersecurity operations, infrastructure automation, observability, or large-scale compute environments. It is also a direct look at the day-to-day work of an HPC systems administrator, which is the career track this team hires into.

• Assist with inventory validation for HPC and AI lab systems.
• Review monitoring, logging, and vulnerability scanning coverage across a heterogeneous system fleet.
• Identify gaps in agent deployment, log forwarding, scan inclusion, and system ownership records.
• Build scripts, reports, or dashboards that summarize security visibility.
• Document hardening expectations and practical checklists for lab systems.
• Work with system administrators to validate findings and prioritize follow-up work.
• Present project results and recommendations at the end of the internship.

• Linux is the working environment for this role, not a nice-to-have. We are looking for a candidate who is already comfortable operating without a graphical interface.
• Currently enrolled in a degree program in cybersecurity, computer science, software engineering, information systems, computer engineering, network administration, or a related technical field.
• Working comfort on the Linux command line.
• Able to navigate a filesystem, read and edit configuration files, inspect running services and logs, manage users and permissions, and troubleshoot without a GUI.
• Demonstrated hands-on Linux exposure through at least one of the following: a Linux or Unix systems administration course, a personal or home lab Linux environment, a prior internship or job with Linux responsibilities, or substantive coursework in a Linux-based environment.
• Interest in cybersecurity, infrastructure, monitoring, or automation.
• Ability to organize technical findings clearly in writing.
• Willingness to learn from experienced administrators and ask questions early.
• Able to work fully onsite in Chippewa Falls, WI for the duration of the internship.

• Scripting ability in Python or Bash sufficient to automate a repetitive data-gathering task.
• Experience with SSH key management, sudo and privilege boundaries, system services, or package management.
• Familiarity with logging, monitoring, vulnerability scanning, or SIEM concepts such as syslog, rsyslog orjournald, log forwarding, and agent-based collection.
• Exposure to Git or GitHub in a collaborative workflow.
• Working understanding of TCP/IP networking, firewalls, DNS, and Linux permissions.
• Any hands-on security or monitoring tooling exposure: Zabbix, Nessus, OpenSCAP, Wazuh, Splunk, Elastic, Nmap, or similar.
• Configuration management or automation exposure: Ansible, Puppet, Salt, or similar.
• Interest in HPC, AI infrastructure, lab systems, or large-scale compute environments.
• Security coursework, security club or competition background such as CCDC or CTF, or a foundational certification such as Security+ or Linux+.

• How HPC and AI lab systems are operated in a real engineering environment.
• How infrastructure teams track security coverage across heterogeneous systems.
• Practical monitoring, logging, and vulnerability management workflows.
• How to turn messy operational data into useful dashboards and action plans.
• How to work with system administrators on security hardening without disrupting active engineering work.

We strive to provide our team members and their loved ones with a comprehensive suite of benefits that supports their physical, financial and emotional wellbeing.

We also invest in your career because the better you are, the better we all are. We have specific programs catered to helping you reach any career goals you have - whether you want to become a knowledge expert in your field or apply your skills to another division.
