About the role

  • This is a hands-on role that requires both strategic thinking and tactical execution.
  • This is an onsite opportunity in our El Segundo, CA office.

Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end infrastructure buildout for our new headquarters and manufacturing facilities - scoping, installing, and validating physical cabling, switches, firewalls, and wireless security appliances in collaboration with contractors.
  • Implement QoS policies to prioritize critical data streams
  • Design and maintain scalable, resilient network infrastructure capable of supporting high-throughput automated operations as we scale.
  • Serve as the primary technical authority and escalation path for our outsourced IT partner, holding them accountable to SLAs covering tier-1/tier-2 helpdesk, device procurement, provisioning, and end-user onboarding - this role owns the outcomes, not the tickets.
  • Govern identity and access management across Azure AD / Entra ID and Google Workspace, including SSO and MFA policies - you don't need to be a deep cloud sysadmin, but you need to own the standards and hold the MSP to them.
  • Support secure integration of edge automation hardware, PLCs, SCADA, and data acquisition systems with backend infrastructure, maintaining strict isolation between corporate and testing environments.
  • Partner with software and systems teams on data ingestion pipelines, telemetry infrastructure, and real-time monitoring dashboards.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in IT systems engineering or infrastructure roles
  • Deep expertise in network protocols and fundamentals: TCP/IP, VLANs, BGP, OSPF, MPLS, routing, switching, firewalls
  • Strong understanding of networking design models (L2/L3, VPC, VDC, Datacenter Zones, Spanning Tree, VRF, VTP, VLANs, and cabling)
  • Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
  • Proven experience managing Windows Server, Linux (RHEL, Ubuntu, CentOS), and Active Directory environments
  • Strong knowledge of systems security, access control, hardening, and encryption protocols
  • Experience with identity and access management frameworks (Azure AD, Entra ID, Google Workspace, SSO/MFA)
  • Proficiency in scripting and automation using PowerShell, Bash, Python, or similar
  • Strong documentation habits and ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders

Nice to have

  • Experience with real-time data acquisition systems, time-series databases (QuestDB, InfluxDB), or industrial control environments
  • Familiarity with edge automation hardware (Opto22, PLCs) or industrial networking protocols
  • Background in regulated or compliance-driven environments (defense, aerospace, critical infrastructure)
  • Experience with monitoring and observability tools (Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog)
  • Certifications such as CCNP, CCIE, Network+, MCSE, Security+, or relevant industry credentials
  • Familiarity with NIST frameworks (800-171, 800-53) or CMMC standards
  • Experience with IaC tools like Terraform, Ansible, or similar configuration management platforms
  • 12+ company holidays, including Earth Day!

Compensation

  • $140,000 - $165,000 USD/year.
  • The salary is subject to the applicant's skills, qualifications, experience, and geographic location.
  • Our Commitment
  • Solving global energy challenges requires a wide range of perspectives and experiences, and we are committed to building a team that reflects the world we serve.
