Your Tasks & Challenges
The group's IT department consists of over 20 people and supports more than 1.200 users. You will be part of the parent company's IT team with 10 people and work together with two Linux admins as well as closely with the Robotics and DevOps teams.
Our engineering teams build robots – and the infrastructure they rely on daily starts with you. As a Linux Infrastructure Engineer, you will be responsible for the Ubuntu desktop fleet that engineers, developers, and researchers depend on. You will be part of a well-established and growing IT team, working side-by-side with experienced Linux admins and maintaining close collaboration with the robotics and DevOps teams – your work is directly visible in what is created.

- Collaboration with the robotics and DevOps teams on tooling and environment requirements for engineering workstations.
- Documentation of processes, creation of runbooks, and contributions to the internal knowledge base.
What We're Looking For
- Completed degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field – or a comparable apprenticeship (e.g., Fachinformatiker/in Systemintegration) with relevant professional experience.
- At least 3 years of professional experience in Linux system administration.
