Job description

Summary

At Varex Imaging, our Enterprise Services team supports the technology platforms that keep the business running, from enterprise applications and engineering software to databases, infrastructure, automation, and collaboration tools. As our environment continues to grow, we're looking for an experienced Systems Engineer to help drive some of our most technically challenging and strategic initiatives.

What You'll Do

• Database, Server Infrastructure & Application Upgrades (Primary Focus)
  • Administer and support Microsoft SQL Server environments, including performance tuning, backup and recovery, upgrades, access management, and new environment deployments.
  • Provide technical support and troubleshooting for database and infrastructure-related issues.
  • Own OS and application upgrade projects across 20+ server-hosted applications, validating compatibility and coordinating downtime so systems stay current and supportable.
  • Manage supporting infrastructure tools such as Cohesity, license servers, and OnlineDTR.
• Enterprise Application Monitoring
  • Contribute to expanding enterprise application monitoring (e.g., Zabbix) as capacity allows, alongside the primary database and infrastructure workload.
• Engineering Software & Repository Governance
  • Deploy and configure engineering/CAD software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, MATLAB, ANSYS, LabVIEW, Minitab, and similar) as project needs arise.
  • Partner with engineering stakeholders to scope these projects and communicate realistic timelines.
  • Establish baseline governance for GitHub and GitLab as capacity allows - repository standards, access controls, and administrative permissions - building toward fuller policy over time.
• License Provisioning & AI Automation
  • Design automated provisioning workflows (e.g., API-triggered access into licensing groups) for high-volume software, partnering with the team's licensing coordinator.
  • Contribute to AI agent and workflow automation using Microsoft Copilot Studio, as a secondary contribution to the team's broader AI roadmap rather than a primary ownership area.
  • Collaborate with technology and business teams to identify opportunities where automation and AI can improve efficiency and user experience.
• Operational Excellence
  • Create and maintain technical documentation, standards, and operational runbooks.
  • Serve as a technical resource for infrastructure, application, and database initiatives.
  • Provide backup coverage and technical depth across critical systems to improve overall resiliency and reduce single points of failure.

Required Qualifications

• B.S. degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, infrastructure engineering, database administration, or a related technical role.
• Strong hands-on experience administering Microsoft SQL Server environments, including performance tuning, backup and recovery, security, and access management.
• Experience supporting and deploying enterprise applications in a production environment.
• Proficiency with scripting and automation technologies such as PowerShell and/or Python.
• Experience integrating systems through APIs and enterprise automation platforms.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building or administering solutions within Microsoft Copilot Studio.
• Familiarity with an enterprise monitoring platform (Zabbix, SolarWinds, Datadog, Nagios, or similar).
• Experience administering Git-based version control platforms (GitHub and/or GitLab), including repository access controls and governance policy.
• Demonstrated interest and aptitude for evaluating and piloting emerging AI tools for enterprise use.
• Knowledge of enterprise AI platforms such as Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot, or similar technologies.
• Experience with Jira Service Management and Jira automation.
• Experience deploying or supporting engineering and CAD software platforms.
• Familiarity with enterprise backup and recovery technologies, including Cohesity.
• Experience working within manufacturing, healthcare, medical device, or other regulated environments.
