About the role....

Are you interested in joining a specialised Airbus team that develops new communications kit? Looking for a role where you can install equipment newly created by your team? Enjoy travel? Linux Systems Administration experience? Then we’d like to hear from you!

Due to organic and business growth, we are looking for an Infrastructure Delivery Engineer. You will be joining a small team, where you will play a pivotal role in transforming new and advanced concepts into operational systems that make a difference. Working on SATCOM related projects, you will bridge the gap between early stage (low Technology Readiness Level) technologies and fully deployed solutions for customers. 

How you will contribute to the team...

• Deliver and maintain robust, future-ready infrastructure to support evolving project and operational needs, including server and network upgrades, patching, and continuous improvement.

• Design and implement detailed infrastructure and sub-system architectures, creating comprehensive documentation and ensuring seamless integration with project teams and customer environments.

• Collaborate with external contractors and cross-functional teams, providing expert guidance to ensure high-quality delivery and alignment with technical and business requirements.

• Drive the definition and delivery of fully functional sub-systems, leveraging existing development assets and reference designs to accelerate deployment and innovation.

• Refine and enhance infrastructure software and hardware components, adapting designs to meet current and future demands while supporting successful on-site implementation.

​

About you...

• Linux system administration experience – Although we use RedHat, happy with most Linux Distros, examples are: Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Linux Mint, Debian, and Arch Linux

• Networking experience – CCNA certification or equivalent experience is desired

• High availability (HA) Virtualised environments– VMware related technologies

• Comfortable working onsite as the sole Engineer and with short delivery timelines

How can we support you…

Many of our staff work flexibly in many different ways, including part-time. Please talk to us at interview about the flexibility you need and we’ll always do our best to accommodate your request.

Please let us know if you need us to make any reasonable adjustments for the selection process – you can share this with your Talent Acquisition Partner if you are invited to interview. Examples may include (but not exclusive to) accessible facilities; auxiliary aids; room layout, etc. Any information disclosed will be treated in the strictest confidence

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
