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.
