Responsibilities

Project Support:

• Revising solution architecture drawings and diagrams, cost templates (devis), the List of Supplies (LoS) / Bill of Materials (BoM), and interfaces at the start of the project.
• Create and/or update network integration engineer contributions to the Solution Specification and Design documentation, Network Acceptance Test Procedures, and other associated network integration documents.
• Reviewing definition documents, solution specifications, design documentation, acceptance test procedures and other associated documentation to align with project objectives, and participating in the product integration and verification phases
• Defining equipment configuration for the ATM solution(s) and coordinating with Hardware Deployment and Integration management for the assembly of the ATM system. Also interface with Tools Engineering, Customer Service and Site Services departments where necessary to accomplish this task.
• Load, configure, validate, and hand over equipment to Software Integration in the factory and on customer sites.
• Support configuration changes to system platforms in factory and customer sites.
• Attend Design Reviews with customers.
• Provide customer training.
• Identify risks at solution architecture level and propose where possible alternate validated solutions.
• Provide system and networking expertise useful in the design.
• Follow and contribute to the development and enhancement of engineering processes.

Bid Support:

• Creation and peer review of the system Architecture Diagrams and List of Supplies (LoS) / Bill of Materials (BoM).

Knowledge Capitalisation:

• Ensure best practice sharing and capitalisation by curating technical documentation, lessons learned, and case studies related to server and storage infrastructure.

Business Competitiveness:

• Support efficiency initiatives (e.g., automation, standardisation) to improve cost, quality, and delivery of infrastructure solutions.

Lean & Agile Adoption:

• Promote Lean and Agile practices within infrastructure projects, particularly for automation, platform deployment and continuous improvement.

Emerging Tech:

• Actively contribute in the adoption of modern technologies in infrastructure—such as AI-driven monitoring, predictive analytics, hybrid cloud, hyperconverged infrastructure, and automation platforms.

Cost Model Management:

• Contribute towards the cost model for infrastructure implementation, considering server, storage, and platform TCO.

Cross-functional Collaboration:

• Foster collaboration with other disciplines (network, cybersecurity, systems engineering) to design multi-discipline solutions with tangible value.

Innovation:

• Nurture a culture that embraces innovation, entrepreneurship, and continuous technical improvement.

Requirements:

• Proven experience in the design, delivery, and operations of complex, mission-critical server/storage infrastructure (including virtualization, compute platforms, storage arrays, backup/recovery, and automation) and networks (7+ years)
• Possesses a solid foundation in basic networking concepts, including an understanding of switching and routing principles
• Deep expertise in modern server operating systems (e.g., Linux/RHEL, Windows Server), server hardening, virtualization platforms (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, KVM), and container environments (OpenShift, Kubernetes)
• Broad experience in infrastructure architecture/design, including physical/virtual servers, SAN/NAS storage solutions, data centre server/storage deployment, and lifecycle management
