• Maintain and upgrade legacy systems, handle network and remote desktop performance tuning
• Conduct security updates, backup/recovery, and hardware assessments
• Work with vendors and internal teams on bug resolution, support cases, and system documentation
• Author user guides, maintain documentation, and deliver training to engineering staff
• Partner with purchasing teams for hardware and software license procurement

What We’re Looking For:

• BS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science
• 6+ years of relevant experience supporting engineering teams, preferably in semiconductor, hardware, or product development sectors
• Advanced knowledge of Unix/Linux systems administration and shell scripting

• Experience in Power and Circuit Design environments
• SUSE Linux OS familiarity
• Solid understanding of infrastructure needs in engineering R&D settings

📍 Location: Lincoln, RI (100% Onsite)
