Senior Systems & Infrastructure Engineer

What You'll Work On

• Over-the-Air Updates: Unify our separate update and software distribution setups for Jetson, NXP and other edge nodes into one reliable system for every platform.
• Device Provisioning: Provision, configure and maintain Linux-based edge devices, workstations and ground systems, including ARM64 platforms.
• Deployment Automation: Build reproducible container images, deployments, device configuration, release workflows and recovery procedures, with Bash and Python tooling.
• Networks & Remote Access: Design and troubleshoot connectivity across networked and remote devices, including routing, SSH, VPNs, firewalls and constrained field links.
• Compute Cluster & CI: Make our GPU compute and evaluation cluster and self-hosted CI runners reliable, so engineers can depend on them without manual recovery.
• Monitoring & Documentation: Improve monitoring, service availability, security hygiene and operational documentation, working closely with our cybersecurity engineer.
• Engineering Standards: Set the infrastructure standards our teams follow, and support firmware, robotics, CV and test teams in the lab and the field.

Your Profile

• You take ownership across many areas at once and enjoy covering several roles in a small team, from planning a system to fixing it by hand.
• You hold a degree in Computer Science or a closely related field.
• You bring around five years of hands-on experience in infrastructure, DevOps or Linux systems engineering, ideally in a small IT or platform team, and you can point to real systems you built and ran.
• You have distributed and updated software across large fleets of devices, whether laptops, servers or embedded systems.
• You have strong Linux administration and troubleshooting skills, write reliable Bash and Python automation, and understand your systems well enough to catch the edge cases tools miss.
• You can debug IP networks end to end, including routing, DNS, SSH, VPNs and firewalls, and you're experienced with Docker and container deployment.
• You speak fluent English; German is a plus. Given the nature of SE3's work in the defence sector, candidates must be eligible to work on defence-related projects and, where required, obtain the relevant security clearance.

Especially Valued Bonus Skills

• Embedded Linux on NVIDIA Jetson or NXP, Yocto/BSP, flashing or hardware bring-up.

• Infrastructure automation or observability with Ansible, Terraform, Prometheus or Grafana.
• ROS 2/DDS, MAVLink or field robotics.
• Involvement in technical student groups or societies during university.
