ABOUT THE JOB
Anduril is seeking a IT Systems Engineer to build and maintain the mission-critical technology stack that powers our connected factories. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of our on-premises infrastructure-from racking servers to deploying virtualized workloads-while using a modern, cloud-managed approach. You will have the opportunity to work with some of the world's best engineers, implementing cutting-edge systems in complex, high-stakes manufacturing environments.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Build and Maintain Factory Infrastructure: • Take ownership of the full stack of on-premises infrastructure supporting factory operations. This includes physical server stand-up, hypervisor installation (VMware), storage pool configuration, and disaster recovery planning, patch management.
Implement a Modern Hybrid Environment: • Design, deploy, and manage a primarily on-premises infrastructure that is Entra ID-joined and managed through an Azure control plane.
Leverage Azure Hybrid Technologies: • Utilize tools such as Azure Arc for server management, Azure Files for storage solutions, and Azure Subscriptions/Resource Groups for governance and organization of on-prem assets.
Automate Everything: • Champion an Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) approach to automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and management using tools like Terraform and Ansible.
Ensure Performance and Reliability: • Monitor, maintain, and optimize the performance of critical infrastructure systems, including high-performance storage (Pure Storage, VAST Data) and virtual environments (VMware, VDI).
Troubleshoot and Resolve: • Act as the escalation point for resolving complex infrastructure-related issues and outages promptly to maintain factory uptime.
Collaborate and Document: • Work closely with development, security, and operations teams to support application deployment and maintain clear documentation of all infrastructure designs and procedures.
