Senior DevOps Networking Engineer

Role Description

Robotic systems depend upon fast networks and tend to employ complex architecture with many interconnected components.  We utilize some cloud-based infrastructure for communication, data transport, security and other functions, though the majority of the compute occurs on bare metal which is hosted nearby the robotic systems.
