We seek a strong Infrastructure & Network Engineer to help design, maintain, and optimise the networking and computing infrastructure supporting our robotics development, testing, and production environments.

This role involves hands-on support for network configuration, local server environments, storage solutions, and on-premise GPU clusters, focusing on scalability, reliability, and performance.

• Manage lab networks (routers, switches, VLANs, Wi-Fi) to ensure high-performance connectivity for robotic testing.
• Support teleoperation with low-latency, high-bandwidth links between operators and robots.
• Maintain local servers and NAS storage, ensuring uptime, backups, and secure access.
• Design and manage scalable, secure IT infrastructure (on-prem, hybrid, or cloud).
• Monitor and troubleshoot network performance (QoS, uptime, connectivity).
• Implement and enforce security best practices (access control, firewalls, VPNs).
• Maintain documentation of network setups, procedures, and hardware inventory.

Expertise:

• Strong networking experience: Wi-Fi, switching, routing, VLANs, VPNs, TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, iptables.
• Skilled in managing NAS systems and storage for robotics/AI workloads.
• Proficient with Linux server administration and hardware configurations.

• Comfortable with hardware setup, cabling, and diagnosing physical network issues.
• Experience supporting real-time or high-availability networked systems.

• Experience with GPU servers, containers, and Kubernetes.
• Knowledge of hybrid infrastructure (on-prem + cloud like AWS/GCP).
• Familiarity with teleoperation, game streaming, or low-latency systems.
• Infrastructure monitoring using Prometheus, Grafana, Netdata, etc.
• Basic scripting (Python, Bash) for automation and tooling.
• Strong communicator with solid documentation skills.
