AI in this role
Manage physical lab environments, servers, networking, and IT infrastructure to support R&D engineering teams.
We are seeking an experienced IT/Lab Manager to lead the planning, deployment, and operations of our physical lab environment and IT systems. This role will focus on building and maintaining scalable, reliable, and secure environments to support engineering teams involved in research, quality assurance, validation, and related activities. It will also support internal collaborators. You will have an outstanding opportunity to drive innovation in a multidimensional, technology-focused company that is crafting the future of data-center and lab technologies. If you bring perfection and creative thinking while solving issues as they arise, and enjoy working with distributed teams – your place is with us!
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Own day-to-day operations, planning, and roadmap for the engineering lab and IT infrastructure (servers, storage, networking, and related services).
- Lead and mentor an IT/Lab team, driving guidelines, standards, and a culture of ownership, partnership, and continuous improvement.
- Collaborate closely with R&D, QE, Verification, and other engineering teams to design, provision, and maintain environments that meet their performance, reliability, and security needs.
- Lead all aspects of running data center and lab operations, including rack layout, cabling, power and cooling, hardware lifecycle, and resource availability.
- Lead procurement and vendor management for hardware, software, and services, including evaluation, negotiation, and ongoing relationship management.
- Implement and maintain automation for system provisioning, configuration, and operations using tools such as shell/Perl/Ansible.
- Design and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting for servers, network, and storage systems to ensure high availability and rapid incident response.
- Investigate and resolve sophisticated infrastructure issues across OS, networking, storage, virtualization, and application layers.
What we need to see:
- B.Sc. or BA in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- At least 10 years of overall experience in IT / systems administration, including extensive hands-on work with Linux/Unix environments.
- At least 3 years of experience in a managerial or team-lead position within IT, lab, or infrastructure teams.
- Vast experience with Linux/Unix system administration, including installation, configuration, troubleshooting, and performance tuning.
- Demonstrable experience collaborating with engineering organizations (R&D, QE, Verification, etc.) and supporting their infrastructure needs.
- Solid experience with data center and lab management, including server, network, and storage equipment deployment and lifecycle.
- Demonstrated experience in procurement and vendor management for infrastructure hardware and software.
- Proficiency in automation and scripting (e.g., shell, Perl, Ansible) for provisioning, configuration, and operational tasks.
- Hands-on experience with monitoring and alerting solutions for infrastructure and services.
- Strong debugging skills and experience resolving complex, cross-domain technical issues.
Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:
- Experience with Kubernetes (K8s) in on-prem or hybrid environments.
- Hands-on work with Slurm, HPC clusters, and large-scale compute environments.
- Background in HPC, large-scale Linux clusters, or performance-sensitive engineering environments.
