It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing
We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.
Role Summary: Unlike traditional IT roles focused on corporate networks, the Lead Engineer for Operational Technology (OT) & Network Infrastructure serves as the supreme technical authority for the critical network backbone that supports Aligned's Building Management Systems (BMS), Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS), and enterprise telemetry fleet-wide. Acting as the strategic bridge between Site Operations, Platform Delivery, and Corporate SecOps, this role utilizes advanced network forensics to prevent catastrophic "loss of visibility" events in the data halls. The Lead Engineer translates complex data transport, latency, and switch configuration metrics into binding engineering mandates, ensuring the digital nervous system of the data center is as resilient as the physical infrastructure.
Core Responsibilities
- Advanced Forensic Investigations (RCA Governance):
Lead deep-dive forensic analyses during critical "loss of visibility" or telemetry blackout incidents. Investigate complex network failures such as broadcast storms, routing loops, packet loss, and switch configuration errors, translating findings into immediate, binding corrective actions.
- Engineering Design Mandates & Network Topology: Review network architecture single-line diagrams, hardware specifications, and failover protocols for all new capital projects. Issue Engineering Change Orders to correct architectural vulnerabilities prior to site deployment.
- Proactive Fleet Auditing & Cybersecurity Hygiene: Conduct rigorous, programmatic audits of active OT networks across the fleet. Ensure strict site compliance with VLAN segregation, OT/IT air-gapping, firmware lifecycle management, and disaster recovery backups for critical infrastructure switches and servers.
- Innovation & Next-Gen Validation (AI Integration): Evaluate next-generation
