> Own all IT functions as the first dedicated hire at an aerospace startup building high-altitude solar aircraft. Manage Microsoft 365, endpoints, identity, assets, network support for office and factory, automation, documentation, and build compliance controls for NIST/CMMC.

## Job Description

## 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.
