Job description

If you've ever rewritten a function three times because the second version still bothered you, our Manufacturing Engineer opening in Maple Grove, MN will feel like home. Everything here scales with you — $88,000 - $115,000 at 4 years, technology ownership soon after, and a VMware ladder above.

Key Responsibilities

• Backfill C# test coverage on the riskiest corners of VMware's codebase
• Question the scrappy-but-steady Ansible pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
• Apply Ansible and AWS to solve autonomy-driven engineering challenges
• Negotiate C# tradeoffs with product when VMware timelines and reality collide
• Keep VMware's C# dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents
• Work closely with data teams to surface insights from production systems

What You'll Bring

• A collaborator's reflex to share credit and absorb blame
• Comfort with the internship cadence of a Maple Grove-based operation
• Comfort defending a recommendation in front of skeptics
• A MN work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
• Track record that proves you can spirited-and-grounded ship under deadline pressure
• A design-led bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait

VMware blends Terraform and Teamwork into technology products that feel, in the empathy-led words of its Maple Grove, MN founders, inevitable. At VMware you can challenge your skip-level's plan and still get a thank-you for it.

The $88,000 - $115,000 we offer comes attached to mentorship, a clear ladder, real benefits, and flexible internship days you can plan around.
