For more information, visit [www.aerovect.com](http://www.aerovect.com). As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer (On-Prem) at AeroVect, you will own and scale the physical infrastructure that supports our autonomous vehicle operations at our garage facilities. Your primary focus will be deploying, configuring, maintaining, and troubleshooting bare-metal servers, networking equipment, and rack infrastructure to ensure reliable operations across our active airport deployments. This is a highly hands-on infrastructure role, ideal for someone with a strong background in Linux systems administration, data center infrastructure, physical networking, and hardware reliability. You don't need to be a software engineer. We're looking for someone who enjoys working directly with hardware, building reliable infrastructure, and solving complex operational challenges. You'll work in a fast-paced environment where infrastructure directly supports autonomous vehicles operating in live airport environments. As AeroVect scales its fleet and expands to new locations, you'll play a key role in building standardized, reliable, and scalable on-prem infrastructure. You Will - Deploy, configure, and maintain bare-metal Linux servers and computing infrastructure at AeroVect's garage facilities. - Own physical infrastructure setup, including server racks, cabling, power distribution, hardware installation, and equipment organization. - Configure, manage, and troubleshoot networking equipment, including switches, routers, firewalls, and network connectivity across on-prem systems. - Manage the lifecycle of physical infrastructure, from hardware selection and procurement through installation, maintenance, upgrades, and replacement. - Monitor and troubleshoot server health, network performance, hardware failures, and infrastructure reliability to minimize operational downtime. - Establish infrastructure standards, documentation, and repeatable deployment processes as AeroVect expands to additional garage locations. - Support connectivity and data transfer between autonomous vehicles, garage infrastructure, and cloud systems. - Maintain and improve existing infrastructure supporting vehicle software delivery and operational data uploads. - Develop lightweight automation and scripting solutions using Bash or Python to simplify system administration, monitoring, and infrastructure management. - Collaborate with software, cloud infrastructure, and autonomy engineering teams to ensure reliable integration between physical infrastructure and software systems. - Provide hands-on troubleshooting and operational support in a dynamic environment where infrastructure availability directly impacts vehicle operations. You Have - 5+ years of hands-on experience in infrastructure engineering, Linux systems administration, data center operations, or a similar technical role. - Strong experience deploying, configuring, and maintaining bare-metal Linux servers in on-prem environments. - Hands-on experience with server racks, cabling, hardware installation, power management, and physical infrastructure troubleshooting. - Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, routing, switching, and network troubleshooting. - Experience configuring and maintaining physical networking equipment such as switches, routers, and firewalls. - Strong Linux administration skills, including system configuration, troubleshooting, performance monitoring, storage management, and system-level debugging. - Experience diagnosing hardware and network failures and implementing solutions to improve infrastructure reliability. - Familiarity with infrastructure monitoring, logging, and alerting tools. - Ability to work independently, take ownership of infrastructure projects, and troubleshoot issues directly in the field. - Comfortable working in a fast-paced operational environment with evolving infrastructure needs and priorities. We Prefer - Experience managing on-prem infrastructure in robotics, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, manufacturing, or other hardware-intensive environments. - Experience building or scaling physical infrastructure across multiple operational sites. - Familiarity with server provisioning, configuration management, or infrastructure automation tools such as Ansible. - Experience with virtualization, containerization, or on-prem compute orchestration. - Basic Python or Bash scripting experience for infrastructure automation. - Familiarity with edge computing, vehicle connectivity, or data transfer between on-prem and cloud environments. - Experience supporting software deployment to physical devices or embedded systems. - Familiarity with hardware lifecycle management, infrastructure capacity planning, and redundancy strategies. - Exposure to high-availability environments where infrastructure downtime directly impacts physical operations. ## About AeroVect ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: AeroVect provides AI-powered autonomous ground support equipment (GSE) solutions to automate airside logistics for the world's largest airlines and airports. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: South San Francisco, California, USA - **Founded**: 2020 - **Founders**: Raymond Wang and Eugenio Donati ## Core Business - **Primary Industry**: Aviation logistics and autonomous vehicle technology (Airside Automation) - **Target Customers**: Large airlines, ground handling companies, and airports (Enterprise B2B) - **Mission/Purpose**: To enable unprecedented safety, reliability, and operational certainty in global aviation by deploying AI-powered autonomous ground support equipment. ## Products & Services - **[AeroVect Driver™]**: An AI-powered, self-driving system for Ground Support Equipment (GSE).
