About the role

We’re hiring across IT and Security Systems Administration Levels 1–3 (final level determined by experience). You will provide hands‑on Windows, Linux, and MacOS administration across on‑prem and cloud environments, deliver reliable desktop support to a high‑speed engineering org, and partner with IT & Security Engineering on larger‑scale, critical projects and hardening efforts.

Qualifications Preferred:

- Background in nuclear, aerospace, or other highly regulated/critical systems environments.

- Familiarity with endpoint protection/EDR, SIEM, and enterprise patch/orchestration tools (e.g., Autopilot/Autopatch, WSUS, MECM/SCCM or equivalents).

- Virtualization (VMware or Hyper‑V or ProxMox), basic networking (VLANs, firewalls, VPNs), and PKI/certificates.

- Infrastructure‑as‑code or config management (PowerShell DSC, Git; Terraform optional) and DR/backup practices.
