Senior Infrastructure Engineer (Garage)
About The Position
As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer (On-Prem) at AeroVect, you will own and scale the physical infrastructure that supports autonomous vehicle operations at garage facilities. The role focuses on deploying, configuring, maintaining, and troubleshooting bare-metal servers, networking equipment, and rack infrastructure to ensure reliable operations across active airport deployments. This is a highly hands-on infrastructure role suited to someone with experience in Linux systems administration, data center infrastructure, physical networking, and hardware reliability. The position involves working directly with hardware and solving operational challenges in a fast-paced environment where infrastructure supports autonomous vehicles operating in live airport environments. As AeroVect expands its fleet and locations, you will help build standardized, reliable, and scalable on-prem infrastructure.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of hands-on experience in infrastructure engineering, Linux systems administration, data center operations, or a similar technical role.
- Strong experience deploying, configuring, and maintaining bare-metal Linux servers in on-premises environments.
- Hands-on experience with server racks, cabling, hardware installation, power management, and physical infrastructure troubleshooting.
- Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, routing, switching, and network troubleshooting.
- Experience configuring and maintaining physical networking equipment such as switches, routers, and firewalls.
- Strong Linux administration skills, including system configuration, troubleshooting, performance monitoring, storage management, and system-level debugging.
- Experience diagnosing hardware and network failures and implementing solutions to improve infrastructure reliability.
- Familiarity with infrastructure monitoring, logging, and alerting tools.
- Ability to work independently, take ownership of infrastructure projects, and troubleshoot issues directly in the field.
- Comfort working in a fast-paced operational environment with evolving infrastructure needs and priorities.
Nice To Haves
- Experience managing on-premises infrastructure in robotics, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, manufacturing, or other hardware-intensive environments.
- Experience building or scaling physical infrastructure across multiple operational sites.
- Familiarity with server provisioning, configuration management, or infrastructure automation tools such as Ansible.
- Experience with virtualization, containerization, or on-premises compute orchestration.
- Basic Python or Bash scripting experience for infrastructure automation.
- Familiarity with edge computing, vehicle connectivity, or data transfer between on-premises and cloud environments.
- Experience supporting software deployment to physical devices or embedded systems.
- Familiarity with hardware lifecycle management, infrastructure capacity planning, and redundancy strategies.
- Exposure to high-availability environments where infrastructure downtime directly impacts physical operations.
Responsibilities
- Deploy, configure, and maintain bare-metal Linux servers and computing infrastructure at garage facilities.
- Set up and manage physical infrastructure, including server racks, cabling, power distribution, hardware installation, and equipment organization.
- Configure, manage, and troubleshoot switches, routers, firewalls, and network connectivity across on-prem systems.
- Manage the physical infrastructure lifecycle, from hardware selection and procurement through installation, maintenance, upgrades, and replacement.
- Monitor and troubleshoot server health, network performance, hardware failures, and infrastructure reliability to minimize downtime.
- Establish infrastructure standards, documentation, and repeatable deployment processes as the company expands to additional garage locations.
- Support connectivity and data transfer between autonomous vehicles, garage infrastructure, and cloud systems.
- Maintain and improve infrastructure supporting vehicle software delivery and operational data uploads.
- Develop lightweight Bash or Python automation and scripting for system administration, monitoring, and infrastructure management.
- Collaborate with software, cloud infrastructure, and autonomy engineering teams to ensure reliable integration between physical infrastructure and software systems.
