  • Collaborate with DevOps, Electrical Engineering, and development teams to support infrastructure needs and CI / CD processes.
  • Provide Tier 2 / 3 support and documentation for internal teams.

Requirements

  • Strong networking knowledge (firewalls, routing, DNS, DHCP, VPNs).
  • Proven experience with automation and configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, Bash, Python).
  • Benefits

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
