And that's where you come in.

Summary
This role focuses on the deployment, configuration, and maintenance of hardware engineering applications—such as PTC, Cadence, and Sigasi—within both Windows and Linux environments. Operating as part of a Platform Engineering team, the administrator ensures that the underlying infrastructure supports the seamless operation of these tools, leveraging AWS cloud services to enhance scalability, reliability, and performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Application Deployment & Maintenance: Install, configure, and maintain
hardware engineering applications on Windows and Linux systems, ensuring
optimal performance and availability.

• System Administration: Manage and monitor Windows Server and Linux (e.g.,
RHEL, Ubuntu) environments, including user management, security
configurations, and system updates.

• AWS Infrastructure Management: Utilize AWS services (e.g., EC2, S3, RDS) to
provision and manage cloud-based resources supporting engineering
applications.

• Database Administration: Administer SQL databases (e.g., Oracle, MySQL,
PostgreSQL) used by engineering tools, including backup, recovery, and
performance tuning.

• File System Management: Oversee file systems and storage solutions,
ensuring data integrity and efficient access for large engineering datasets.

• Automation & Scripting: Develop scripts (e.g., Bash, PowerShell, Ansible) to
automate routine tasks, deployments, and system monitoring.

• Security & Compliance: Implement security best practices, manage access
controls, and ensure compliance with organizational policies and industry
standards.

• Collaboration: Work closely with engineering, IT, and security teams to align
infrastructure solutions with application requirements and business objectives.

• Data Continuity Framework: Support the implementation of the data continuity
framework across different applications, ensuring consistency both from a
technical perspective (infrastructure networking, tools integrations , data
access) and a data model perspective (data integrity, lifecycle management,
data alignment).

Required Skills

• Proficiency in Windows and Linux system administration.

• Experience with AWS cloud services and infrastructure management.

• Knowledge of SQL database systems and administration.

• Familiarity with file system structures and storage management.

• Scripting skills for automation (e.g., Bash, PowerShell).

• Understanding of networking concepts and security practices.

• Ability to troubleshoot complex system and application issues.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience deploying and maintaining hardware engineering tools like PTC,
Cadence, or Sigasi.

• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform).

• Knowledge of PTC PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) solutions is a strong
advantage.
