We are seeking an experienced IT/Lab Manager to lead the planning, deployment, and operations of our physical lab environment and IT systems. This role will focus on building and maintaining scalable, reliable, and secure environments to support engineering teams involved in research, quality assurance, validation, and related activities. It will also support internal collaborators. You will have an outstanding opportunity to drive innovation in a multidimensional, technology-focused company that is crafting the future of data-center and lab technologies. If you bring perfection and creative thinking while solving issues as they arise, and enjoy working with distributed teams – your place is with us! What You’ll Be Doing: * Own day-to-day operations, planning, and roadmap for the engineering lab and IT infrastructure (servers, storage, networking, and related services). * Lead and mentor an IT/Lab team, driving guidelines, standards, and a culture of ownership, partnership, and continuous improvement. * Collaborate closely with R&D, QE, Verification, and other engineering teams to design, provision, and maintain environments that meet their performance, reliability, and security needs. * Lead all aspects of running data center and lab operations, including rack layout, cabling, power and cooling, hardware lifecycle, and resource availability. * Lead procurement and vendor management for hardware, software, and services, including evaluation, negotiation, and ongoing relationship management. * Implement and maintain automation for system provisioning, configuration, and operations using tools such as shell/Perl/Ansible. * Design and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting for servers, network, and storage systems to ensure high availability and rapid incident response. * Investigate and resolve sophisticated infrastructure issues across OS, networking, storage, virtualization, and application layers.
