We are looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to serve as the primary infrastructure engineer across our cloud and on-premises environments. This role owns the architecture and operations of systems supporting both our corporate workforce and our manufacturing facilities, including the production floor, IoT-connected tooling, and the Manufacturing Execution System (MES). This is a hands-on, broad-scope role. You will design cloud architecture in AWS, manage physical infrastructure in our IDFs and server rooms, and connect our sites together with a secure, scalable network. You should be comfortable moving between writing Terraform, racking hardware, and troubleshooting production issues that affect real vehicles being built. What You'll Do • Own cloud and on-premises infrastructure architecture across corporate and manufacturing environments. • Architect and operate a multi-region, multi-account AWS environment using Terraform as the foundation for company-wide workloads. • Design and maintain a hub-and-spoke network across 4+ physical locations using AWS Transit Gateway and site-to-site VPN tunnels, with centralized routing and security controls. • Maintain a hierarchical IP addressing schema spanning cloud and on-prem to prevent routing conflicts and support third-party integrations. • Design and operate highly available infrastructure for the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) supporting 80+ workstations and 30+ IoT-connected tools across production, staging, and development. • Integrate EV charging infrastructure and build custom IoT monitoring for critical factory, facilities, and warehouse systems to reduce operational risk. • Manage physical infrastructure including bare-metal servers, Ubiquiti networking, Synology storage, and UPS-backed IDF/server room environments. • Partner with manufacturing, IT, security, and engineering teams to deliver infrastructure that meets uptime and security requirements for a 24/7 production environment. What We're Looking For • 7+ years of systems, infrastructure, or DevOps engineering experience, including ownership of production environments. • Strong AWS experience: multi-account architecture, VPC design, Transit Gateway, IAM, and core services (EC2, RDS, S3, ECS, Lambda, CloudWatch). • Deep Terraform experience managing infrastructure as code across multiple environments. • Solid networking fundamentals: routing, subnetting, VPNs, firewalls, and IP schema design across hybrid environments. • Experience with on-premises infrastructure: bare-metal servers, enterprise networking (Ubiquiti, Cisco, or similar), storage, and IDF/server room operations. • Scripting and automation skills in Python, Go, or similar. • Comfort working in environments where infrastructure issues have direct operational impact (manufacturing, broadcast, trading, healthcare, etc.). Nice to Have • Experience in a manufacturing, industrial, or OT/IoT environment. • Familiarity with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) or other production-floor software. • Experience with Ansible, Packer, and CI/CD tooling (Buildkite, CircleCI, GitHub Actions). • Virtualization experience (Proxmox, VMware ESXi). • Background supporting a fast-growing startup through scaling phases. Key Benefits & Perks: • Comprehensive Health, Dental & Vision (HDV) - 100% employee covered • Early-stage Stock Options • Robust Retirement Savings (401k, HSA, FSA) • Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) & Parental Leave • Annual Vacation Bonus • Wellness & Fertility Benefits • Cell Phone Stipend • Complimentary Meals & Stocked Kitchens California Pay Range $120,000-$150,000 USD
