Job summary

Redwood Materials is seeking a hands-on Systems Engineer to own the SCADA infrastructure for our industrial control environment. You will administer the SCADA platform, manage the historian, ensure data integrity, and drive resilience across multi-site deployments.

Requirements include a CS/engineering-related degree (or equivalent) with at least 3 years in systems engineering, expertise in VMware, Docker, Kubernetes, and OPC connectivity, and the ability to travel up to 10% for site support.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience, plus minimum 3 years in systems/infrastructure engineering.
Experience with enterprise-scale SCADA infrastructure, clustering/redundancy, and backups.

Responsibilities

Serve as primary administrator and technical owner of the SCADA platform — gateway configuration and upgrades, project/version management, redundancy and clustering, store-and-forward, licensing, and disciplined backup/restore for SCADA servers and HMI infrastructure.
Own the SCADA database and historian tier: administer and tune the clustered back end, manage archival and retention, and protect data integrity and uptime for the historian and downstream data-lake feeds.
Maintain the plant-to-historian data path, including OPC connectivity, and troubleshoot connectivity, performance, and data-quality issues across the OT pipeline.
Help design, build, and operate enterprise hybrid infrastructure across datacenters and colocations; partner with the DevOps and data teams on cloud-resident workloads.
Design for resilience and high availability: multi-site and islanded architectures, failover, backups and tested restores, capacity planning, and disaster recovery for availability-critical industrial workloads.
Implement enterprise monitoring, alerting, and logging across the OT and infrastructure estate, and produce as-built documentation, runbooks, and standards.
Occasionally respond to after-hours production emergencies when necessary, and travel periodically to Redwood sites (including San Francisco, South Carolina, Germany) and colocations.
