System Engineer
🔋 Systems Deployment Engineer (Linux / OT Infrastructure)
📍 Alpharetta, GA (Hybrid) | U.S. Travel Required
We’re partnering with a leading innovator in energy storage and renewable technology to hire a Systems Deployment Engineer supporting cutting-edge infrastructure across utility-scale energy projects.
This role sits at the intersection of IT and Operational Technology (OT) — focused on deploying, configuring, and supporting the systems that power real-world energy environments. If you enjoy working hands-on with Linux systems, networking, and automation in mission-critical environments , this is a unique opportunity to step into the rapidly growing battery energy storage (BESS) space.
🚀 What You’ll Be Doing
- Deploy and configure Linux-based servers, edge devices, and virtualized environments (Ubuntu, VMware, Proxmox)
- Build and maintain automation scripts (Ansible, Bash, Python) for scalable system deployment
- Support industrial networking and communications (VLANs, firewalls, Modbus, DNP3, OPC UA, MQTT)
- Manage and optimize databases (PostgreSQL, MariaDB) for high-frequency operational data
- Work hands-on with hardware commissioning and site deployments across operational energy sites
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex system integration issues in uptime-critical environments
- Partner cross-functionally with engineering, operations, and field teams
✅ What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in Systems Engineering, Infrastructure, DevOps, or IT/OT environments
- Strong hands-on experience with Linux system administration
- Experience with automation tools and scripting (Ansible, Bash, Python, etc.)
- Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (VLANs, firewalls, routing)
- Experience supporting or deploying systems in production / uptime-critical environments
- Strong troubleshooting skills and ability to work across hardware + software systems
⭐ Nice-to-Have (But Not Required)
- Experience in energy, utilities, or industrial environments
- Exposure to battery energy storage systems (BESS) or renewable energy projects
- Familiarity with SCADA / ICS / OT systems
- Experience with containerization or edge computing environments
💡 Why This Role Stands Out
- Break into the high-growth renewable energy + BESS industry
- Work on real-world infrastructure powering the grid
- Blend software, systems, and hands-on deployment work
- Join a company at the forefront of energy innovation and sustainability
