Jobbeschreibung

Your mission

As a Linux System Administrator within our Research & Development team, you will serve as a foundational pillar for our physical AI and advanced robotics infrastructure. You will work directly with the AI software development team and senior research personnel to plan, commission, maintain, and own a highly complex, specialized environment.

This is an execution-focused role, tailored for someone who is intrinsically motivated by hard technical problems and wants to have true ownership over a cutting-edge technological playground. Your responsibilities span from high-end GPU clusters (on-premises and cloud) to custom laboratory workstations and embedded NVIDIA Jetson platforms operating directly on mobile humanoid robots.

Key responsibilities

• Plan, set up, and maintain clusters, high-end workstations, and embedded systems dedicated to AI research - supporting both long-term heavy training workloads and real-time inference.

• Build, optimize, and support operating systems for custom hardware. Take deep ownership of low-level configurations, drivers, and server environments tailored for robotics.

• Actively support the R&D team in the lab with the physical provisioning, wiring, housing, commissioning, and rapid troubleshooting of workstations and physical robots.

• Propose, research, and drive team decisions regarding network layouts, hardware selection, operating system choices, and service layers.

• Document architectural learnings and coordinate requirements with our external IT service provider.

Your profile

We seek builders ready to move beyond demos to real-world deployment - professionals who value precision and reliability as much as innovation and solving challenging tasks at the frontier of what is possible right now.

• 5+ years of dedicated professional experience in Linux system administration, ideally paired with a degree in Computer Science or an apprenticeship as a Fachinformatiker.

• Experience with planning site-scale IT infrastructure in an R&D environment.

• Deep expertise in Linux ecosystems, complex networking, and custom hardware environments.

• Experience with Machine Learning workloads or with mobile robots, ideally.

• Strong analytical and communication skills.

Why us?

• The Technology: Skip the mundane enterprise IT maintenance loops. You will work on massive, end-to-end AI training pipelines, edge computing, and real-time robotics deployment.

• The Team: Work alongside seasoned industry leaders with a proven track record of scaling breakthrough tech companies and establishing global engineering standards.

• Solid Strategy & Resources: We avoid early-mover scaling traps by applying disciplined, well-timed capital to proven foundations. Substantially funded internally and backed by top-tier investors, we ensure our R&D teams have zero capital or resource constraints to complete their mission.
