About the role
Your mission & challenges
The Group's IT department has over 20 members and provides support to more than 1,200 users. You'll join the parent company's IT team of 10 people, working alongside two Linux Admins, as well as collaborating closely with both the robotics and DevOps teams.
Our engineering teams build robots — and the infrastructure they depend on starts with you. As a Linux Infrastructure Engineer, you'll own the Ubuntu desktop fleet that engineers, developers, and researchers rely on every day. You'll join a well-staffed and growing IT team, working alongside fellow Linux Admins, with close ties to both the robotics and DevOps teams — making your work directly visible in what gets built.
Your mission & challenges
- Provide 2nd level support for our Ubuntu desktop fleet — from OS and hardware issues to application troubleshooting and peripherals
- Develop and maintain automated configuration management for Linux client systems using tools like Ansible
- Manage software deployment, package management, and patch cycles across the desktop fleet
- Administer user accounts, permissions, and local policies on Linux endpoints
- Integrate desktop systems into central services including LDAP/AD, SSO, VPN, and network storage
- Maintain and improve standard desktop images and provisioning workflows
- Collaborate with the robotics and DevOps teams on tooling and environment requirements for engineering workstations
- Document processes, write runbooks, and contribute to the internal knowledge base
What we can look forward to
- Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field — or equivalent vocational training and practical experience
- Minimum of 3 years' experience in Linux system administration
- Proficiency in Shell and Python scripting
- Strong grasp of networking principles
- Comprehensive knowledge of Debian-based operating systems, particularly Ubuntu
- Excellent written and spoken English (B2 or above)
- Strong analytical skills and a methodical approach to problem-solving
- A collaborative team player who takes ownership
