Responsibilities

The ideal candidate enjoys working in a multi-disciplinary international environment to tackle complex technical problems. You will:

  • Assist R&D software teams with usage, integration, configuration, and effective utilization of the SDP platform in their products
  • Help the R&D organization with installation, system administration, and second-tier support of the internal fleet of SDP systems.
  • Collaborate with software teams to understand their requirements.

  • Proven background in virtualization platforms and cloud technologies, such as VMware, OpenStack, Azure, or Amazon AWS.
  • Knowledge of scripting languages such as Python, PowerShell, or Bash.

You will be part of the R&D Software Engineering Tools and Infrastructure team, a distributed team that supports all the software groups within R&D.
