Job Description

About the role

As a Network Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll be responsible for designing, building and maintaining the compute and network infrastructure in our on-site test environments and remote customer deployments. You will work across a wide range of technologies including server racks, segregated factory networks, industrial workstation connections and remote monitoring.

This is a practical, hands-on role. As well as working with suppliers to specify the appropriate equipment, you’ll build server racks, perform software installation, fit cabling, configure network routing and set up service monitoring.

Working closely with our Platform Engineers, you’ll work with a variety of technical teams to set up network infrastructure for prototype test rigs, demonstration factory lines as well as deploying the finalized designs at customer sites. You’ll be a subject matter expert in correctly selecting and scaling infrastructure to meet the requirements of each type of installation.
