Join the power movement as a OT/IT Support Engineer  

We are looking for a versatile, hands-on OT/IT Support Engineer to join our team at our Milpitas site. This is a blended hands-on role, split between managing shop-floor OT infrastructure and providing direct end-user desktop assistance. You will serve as the primary on-site technical point of contact, ensuring our engineers, technicians, and operations teams have reliable, high-performing workstation technology, while also maintaining and scaling the physical network and compute infrastructure that powers our testing and manufacturing operations (Operational Technology / OT).

If you thrive in high-tempo environments where no two days are the same, equally comfortable running cables, configuring network switches on the shop floor, fixing a user's workstation issue or creating a monitor to track network utilization, this is the role for you.

What you'll do:

• OT & Industrial Infrastructure Maintenance: Deploy, monitor, and maintain local site server cabinets, industrial network switches, patch panels, cabling, power equipment (UPSs), and edge compute nodes supporting test rigs and manufacturing lines
• Network & Systems Setup: Perform physical installation and basic configuration of networking gear (switches, access points, edge firewalls) in coordination with central Network and IT Security teams
• On-Site Deskside Support: Provide white-glove hardware and software troubleshooting for local staff, including onboarding, endpoint deployment (Windows, Mac, Linux), workstation peripheral setup, and rapid incident resolution
• Site Tech Asset Management: Maintain accurate asset tracking, hardware inventory, rack elevations, and lifecycle management for all IT/OT endpoints and spare hardware at the Milpitas facility
• AV & Conference Room Support: Ensure conference rooms, display systems, and audio/video equipment are operational and updated 
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with manufacturing engineers, control systems teams, and corporate IT to safely integrate operational technology (OT) networks with core enterprise systems
