Summary
We are seeking an Industrial Systems Engineer to own and stabilize the data, server, and communication infrastructure that supports our automated manufacturing lines.
This role bridges manufacturing equipment, industrial networking, databases, and SCADA platforms. You will be the technical owner of plant systems that must run reliably in a production environment.

• Diagnose and resolve production outages related to data systems
• Monitor system performance, memory, storage, and service health
• Manage backups, redundancy, and disaster recovery
• Support industrial Ethernet communications between machines
• Standardize and replicate automation infrastructure across production lines
• Document architecture and recovery procedures
• Collaborate with controls engineers and IT/network teams
• Identify systemic risks and design improvements to prevent repeat failures
• Participate in on-call support for critical production systems
What Success Looks Like
• Production systems run reliably with fewer unplanned outages
• Database and server failures are diagnosed quickly
• Automation infrastructure is standardized across lines
• Documentation exists for recovery and scaling
• Preventive improvements reduce firefighting over time
Required Specific Experience:
• 5+ years experience in manufacturing, automation, or industrial systems
• 2+ years supporting SQL databases in a production environment
• 1+ years Windows Server or Linux administration experience
• 3+ years Industrial networking fundamentals (Ethernet/IP, OPC-UA, or similar)
• 3+ years troubleshooting live production outages
• Ignition certification or SCADA platform experience
• Experience in electronics manufacturing environment
• SQL Server DBA experience
• VMware or virtualization experience
• Scripting experience (PowerShell or Python)
• Experience with historian or MES systems
• Industrial cybersecurity familiarity
• Cisco CCNA or equivalent networking knowledge
• CompTIA Server+ or Linux+ certification
• Experience deploying repeatable automation architectures
