About the role

What you’ll do

  • Own IT end to end. Accountable for everything from laptop provisioning to identity to the network on the factory floor.
  • Run front-line support for the entire company. Triage and resolve requests quickly, and keep people informed while you do it.
  • Own identity and access management. Provision and de-provision accounts across our business systems and run periodic access reviews.
  • Administer our Microsoft 365 environment (Entra ID, Intune, SharePoint, Teams) along with the SaaS tools the company runs on.
  • Own endpoint management across Windows, macOS, and Linux, including imaging, patching, and MDM enrollment.
  • Own IT asset management. Source, track, and forecast hardware against the hiring plan so no one starts without a working machine.
  • Support network and infrastructure across the office and the factory, including conference room AV and connectivity for test and manufacturing equipment.
  • Build the IT-side controls required for NIST 800-171 and CMMC, partnering with whoever owns security.
  • Automate the repetitive work. Scripting is expected, not optional.
  • Document as you build. You are writing the runbook, not inheriting one.

What we’re looking for

  • 3-5 years of hands-on IT experience in a fast-paced environment, with a track record of resolving a wide range of issues without an escalation path behind you.
  • Strong Microsoft 365 administration, including Entra ID, Intune, SharePoint, and Teams.
  • Hands-on support experience across Windows and macOS, and comfort in Linux.
  • Experience with identity and access management tools such as Entra ID, Okta, or equivalent.
  • Experience with endpoint management platforms such as Intune, Jamf, or Apple Business Manager.
  • Scripting ability in PowerShell, Bash, or Python, and the instinct to automate anything you have done twice.
  • Excellent written communication. You write documentation people actually use.
  • Comfort in an evolving environment where priorities shift, and composure when something is down.
  • A serious commitment to feedback and growth.
  • The drive to perform in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment.

Bonus points for

  • Experience preparing for or operating under NIST 800-171, CMMC, or a similar defense compliance framework.
  • IT experience at an aerospace, defense, or other compliance-driven company.
  • Networking depth: VLANs, firewalls, and segmented networks for manufacturing and test equipment.
  • Experience supporting engineering tooling such as CAD workstations, PLM or ERP systems, and license servers.
  • CompTIA or Microsoft certifications.
  • Startup experience where you wore many hats.
