Build, harden, and maintain physical and virtual servers for manufacturing applications, ensuring performance, security, and high availability. Monitor system, server, and network performance across the factory floor, proactively identifying and resolving issues that could impact production throughput or on‑time manufacturing. Support deployment and integration of factory stations, endpoints, and production equipment, coordinating with engineering and operations to ensure smooth transitions and minimal downtime. Implement security controls, access management, and compliance standards across servers, endpoints, and network infrastructure. Troubleshoot complex hardware, software, and network issues in time‑sensitive manufacturing environments and provide clear updates to stakeholders. Document deployment processes, configurations, and troubleshooting guides, while recommending improvements that increase scalability, reliability, and factory efficiency.

Ability to diagnose and resolve hardware, software, server, and networking issues in fast‑paced, production‑critical environments. Experience with asset tracking, configuration management, and maintaining accurate inventories of deployed hardware and systems. Strong understanding of security principles, including access controls, endpoint hardening, and secure network design. Excellent communication and documentation skills, with the ability to clearly convey system status, risks, and updates. Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. either SECRET or TS clearance.
