• Administer and support Windows Server and RHEL Linux systems
• Troubleshoot performance and reliability issues across infrastructure and applications
• Support migration from physical to virtualized and containerized environments
• Collaborate with corporate IT, security teams, and manufacturing stakeholders
• Participate in daily operational and incident response meetings for a 24/7 manufacturing site
• Ensure compliance with cybersecurity and infrastructure standards
• Document systems, configurations, and automation processes

Qualifications:

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
• 5 years of experience supporting enterprise server environments
• 5 years of experience with Windows Server and RHEL Linux (5–9.x)
• 3 years of experience with VMware technologies (vSphere, vSAN, NSX, VCF)
• 3 years of experience with ServiceNow or similar service management platforms
• Hands-on experience deploying and managing Kubernetes in production environments (required)
• Experience with Docker and container orchestration
• Experience with scripting or automation tools (PowerShell, JSON, Ruby, Chef, Tanium, etc.)
• Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (VLANs, DNS, DHCP, VPNs, firewalls, routing)
• Experience with backup, disaster recovery, and high-availability systems
• Strong documentation and communication skills

Preferred:

• Experience in semiconductor, manufacturing, or OT environments
• Familiarity with SCADA systems, MES, or industrial network architectures
• Experience with hyper-converged infrastructure (e.g., Dell VxRail)
• Knowledge of AI/automation technologies in manufacturing
• Experience with Cisco Nexus/Catalyst networking
• Experience with data protection tools such as Rubrik
• Understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC)
