What you’ll do
In general, the Infrastructure Engineer is responsible for securing operations of our highly available computing platforms, servers, storage area networks, hosting and networks. Infrastructure engineering ensures that the plant IT infrastructure is highly robust, scalable, and efficient to deliver the integrated services underlying the physical environment that supports the processes, physical resources (including facilities, hardware, software, and tools) and people required for developing, integrating, operating, and sustaining IT applications and support services. 

With an always-on mindset you will be assisting departments in the factory (Engineering, Operation & Maintenance) in designing, configuring and managing solutions for their devices, tools and applications, in line with factory and corporate standards. You will also be working closely with the local Factory On-Site team and be supported by global specialists and operations teams.

You are an engineer having at least a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science or equivalent experience in a relevant field.

Who are you?
We are happy to see applicants that are eager to learn and grow (both individually and as a team) using a modern approach to Infrastructure Engineering and preferably powered by relevant recent academical capital to do so.  

As a person, you are team focused and passionate about solving problems. You are flexible, open to new ideas and always looking for ways to improve. You are definitely technical but also a service minded and curious team player who loves to collaborate with others. You are energetic, forward-thinking and you push for innovation. You are good at communication, presenting and relationship building with teams and global stakeholders.
