Corporate Systems Engineer

Dominion Dynamics•Ottawa, ON

7d•Onsite

About The Position

The Corporate Systems Engineer will be the on-site face of IT for Dominion Dynamics' Ottawa and/or Toronto R&D hub, ensuring a fast-moving research and engineering team remains productive and unblocked. This is a high-autonomy generalist role responsible for day-to-day support, site network and AV, and endpoint and account administration. The role also involves supporting the experimental lab and bench hardware used by engineers. The IT systems will be operated by this role, while the security stack is owned by Security Engineering, requiring close collaboration to ensure deployed controls function smoothly.

Requirements

At least 3 years of experience in IT support, systems administration, or corporate IT
Hands-on experience operating endpoint management (MDM) and identity/SSO user-lifecycle administration
Solid networking fundamentals: switching, Wi-Fi, closets, and methodical troubleshooting
Conference-room AV and end-user support experience, with strong customer-service instincts
Self-directed and comfortable being the sole on-site IT presence at a small, fast-moving R&D site
Comfortable building process where little exists — especially around asset lifecycle and decommissioning
Experience in a primarily macOS environment

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with a modern HRIS, IdP/SSO, productivity suite, and ticketing/knowledge-base tooling — e.g., Rippling, Okta, Google Workspace, Jira/Confluence, Slack
Experience with structured cabling and fiber uplinks, or managing network vendors and MSPs
Experience supporting lab, bench, or experimental test equipment (RF, drone, or similar hardware)
Relevant certifications (CompTIA A+/Network+, etc.)

Responsibilities

Be the on-site front line of IT support — provisioning, troubleshooting, and resolving issues across hardware, software, accounts, and access
Operate the day-to-day endpoint and identity administration stack: device management (MDM) enrollment and policy, SSO/account lifecycle, and HRIS-driven joiner/mover/leaver execution
Administer the productivity and collaboration suite, ticketing, and knowledge base
Partner closely with Security Engineering so the controls they deploy run smoothly in everyday use
Run the site's networking — switching, Wi-Fi, and network closets — and coordinate structured cabling and fiber uplinks with vendors and MSPs
Run conference-room AV and meeting-room technology
Procure and issue access badges
Support research lab and bench machines and experimental test equipment, including asset tagging and serialization
Own and help mature the site's IT asset lifecycle — procurement, imaging/enrollment, inventory, and secure decommissioning/ITAD (including sensitive-media destruction)
Coordinate with other locations on standards, procurement, and shared processes
Maintain clear IT documentation and runbooks
