About the role

  • The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in Linux systems administration (Red Hat / Rocky Linux), network security (Palo Alto firewalls), storage infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins), and infrastructure automation (Ansible).
  • This role sits at the intersection of enterprise IT and plant-floor operations, and is critical to delivering the high availability, security, and performance that modern manufacturing environments demand.

Responsibilities

  • Design, deploy, and maintain LAN/WAN network infrastructure spanning manufacturing plants, warehouses, cloud providers, and corporate sites.
  • Implement and manage high-speed core switching at 10G and 100G using Arista, Juniper, and other enterprise switching platforms
  • ensure scalable, resilient fabric design.
  • Configure, troubleshoot, and optimize Layer 2/3 networking (LACP, VLANs, BGP) and security controls (Palo Alto firewalls, VPNs, NAC, IDS/IPS)
  • manage ISP link failover and path redundancy.
  • Deploy, configure, and maintain Linux servers (Red Hat / Rocky Linux) using automation tools including Ansible, MAAS, Foreman, and custom scripting to ensure consistent, repeatable provisioning.
  • Design and maintain redundancy, failover, QoS, and traffic engineering strategies to support 24/7 manufacturing operations and minimize unplanned downtime.
  • Manage structured cabling, Wi-Fi 6/6E wireless infrastructure, and ruggedized networking hardware suited for plant-floor environments.
  • Partner with engineering, automation, OT, and IT security teams to ensure secure and reliable connectivity for production and operational systems.
  • Lead and contribute to greenfield and brownfield IT/OT modernization projects, including network redesigns for new equipment rollouts and facility expansions.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 4+ years of experience in network and Linux infrastructure engineering, preferably in a manufacturing or industrial environment.
  • Deep Linux expertise with Rocky Linux / RHEL, including administration of core infrastructure services: DNS, DHCP, and network storage (NFS).
  • Hands-on experience with Palo Alto Networks firewalls, including policy management, threat prevention, and configuration of active/standby ISP failover links.
  • Demonstrated ability to automate infrastructure at scale
  • proven track record applying Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices using Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent tooling.
  • Strong knowledge of networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, VLANs, routing protocols (OSPF, BGP), switching, and network security.
  • Experience with enterprise network vendors including Cisco, Arista, and Juniper
  • familiarity with ruggedized industrial switches (Hirschmann, Cisco IE series, or similar).
  • Knowledge of cybersecurity best practices aligned with NIST frameworks.

Nice to have

  • Experience with Python scripting for network automation, configuration management, and compliance reporting.
  • Familiarity with MES platforms and their integration with enterprise IT systems.
  • Knowledge of structured cabling standards (TIA-568, IEC 11801) and data center operations within manufacturing environments.
  • Experience with SD-WAN solutions for multi-site manufacturing connectivity.
