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.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

7+ years of experience in IT infrastructure engineering, with a strong, demonstrable focus on on-premises systems (servers, storage, networking, virtualization).

Expert-level knowledge of the VMware vSphere suite of products.

Hands-on experience architecting or managing Entra ID-only join environments and migrating away from traditional Active Directory dependencies.

Proficiency using Azure as a management plane for on-prem resources (Azure Arc, Azure Policy, Azure Monitor, Azure Files).

Experience with automation and scripting using languages such as PowerShell, Python, or Bash.

Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform or Ansible.

Solid understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, VPN, load balancing) and enterprise storage technologies.

Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.

.PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Datacenter / colocation build-out experience.

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and tools (e.g., GitLab CI).

Experience with Linux configuration and administration.
