This role blends traditional system administration with network administration, ensuring production systems are secure, reliable, and optimized for factory operations.
You will deploy, configure, and maintain hardware, servers, and software systems across the manufacturing line while managing their full lifecycle, including provisioning, updates, tracking, and retirement. You'll design, configure, and support network infrastructure—switches, VLANs, routing, wireless, and segmentation—to ensure reliable, low-latency connectivity for production environments. Build, harden, and maintain physical and virtual servers for manufacturing applications, ensuring performance, security, and high availability.
Monitor system, server, and network performance across the factory floor, proactively identifying and resolving issues that could impact production throughput or on-time manufacturing. Support deployment and integration of factory stations, endpoints, and production equipment, coordinating with engineering and operations to ensure smooth transitions and minimal downtime. Implement security controls, access management, and compliance standards across servers, endpoints, and network infrastructure.
Troubleshoot complex hardware, software, and network issues in time-sensitive manufacturing environments and provide clear updates to stakeholders. Document deployment processes, configurations, and troubleshooting guides, while recommending improvements that increase scalability, reliability, and factory efficiency.
Required: 5+ years as a Systems or Network Administrator in manufacturing, industrial, or high-throughput environments. Proficiency in Windows/Linux system administration, server buildout, virtualization, imaging, and endpoint lifecycle management. Hands-on expertise configuring and troubleshooting network components. Ability to diagnose and resolve hardware, software, server, and networking issues in production-critical environments. Experience with asset tracking, configuration management, and security principles. Excellent communication and documentation skills.
Preferred: Experience supporting MES, ERP, or factory software platforms; OT networks, PLCs, or SCADA systems; hybrid IT/OT network architectures; virtualization platforms; automation tools such as Ansible or Terraform; asset management platforms; relevant certifications such as Server+, Azure Administrator, CCNA, or ITIL.
