System Engineer

About the Role

Anduril is seeking a Systems Engineer for our factory systems team to build and maintain the mission-critical technology stack that powers our connected factories. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of our on-premises infrastructure, from racking servers to deploying virtualized workloads, using a modern, cloud-managed approach. You will have the opportunity to work with some of the world's best engineers, implementing cutting-edge systems in complex, high-stakes manufacturing environments.

What You'll Do

• Build and Maintain Factory Infrastructure: Take ownership of the full stack of on-premises infrastructure supporting factory operations, including physical server stand-up, hypervisor installation (VMware), storage pool configuration, disaster recovery planning, and patch management.
• Implement a Modern Hybrid Environment: Design, deploy, and manage a primarily on-premises infrastructure that is Entra ID-joined and managed through an Azure control plane.
• Leverage Hybrid Cloud Technologies: Use tools such as Azure Arc for server management, Azure Files and AWS S3 for storage, and Azure Subscriptions/Resource Groups for governance and organization of on-prem assets.
• Automate Everything: Champion an Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) approach to automate provisioning, configuration, and management using tools like Terraform and Ansible.
• Ensure Performance and Reliability: Monitor, maintain, and optimize critical infrastructure, including high-performance storage (Pure Storage, NetApp, VAST Data) and virtual environments (VMware, VDI).
• Troubleshoot and Resolve: Act as the escalation point for complex infrastructure issues and outages to maintain factory uptime.
• Collaborate and Document: Work with development, security, and operations teams to support application deployment and maintain clear documentation of infrastructure designs and procedures.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in IT infrastructure engineering, with a strong, demonstrable focus on on-premises systems (servers, storage, networking, virtualization).
• Expert-level knowledge of the VMware vSphere suite of products.
• Hands-on experience architecting or managing Entra ID-only join environments and migrating away from traditional Active Directory dependencies.
• Proficiency using Azure as a management plane for on-prem resources (Azure Arc, Azure Policy, Azure Monitor, Azure Files).
• Hands-on experience with AWS services (e.g., EC2, IAM, VPC, S3) for hybrid or cloud-managed infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience administering Pure Storage and NetApp (ONTAP) SAN/NAS solutions.
• Experience with automation and scripting in PowerShell, Python, or Bash.
• Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform or Ansible.
• Solid understanding of networking (TCP/IP, DNS, VPN, load balancing) and enterprise storage technologies.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Datacenter or colocation build-out experience.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and tools (e.g., GitLab CI).
• Experience with Linux configuration and administration.
