Role Summary This Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) role owns reliability outcomes for factory digital systems spanning compute, network, and application layers. The work is split across Platform Engineering, Observability, and Tiger Team incident response. This position will be located in Normal, IL and report to our Sr. Manager, Software Infrastructure/DevOps. Responsibilities Platform Engineering Design and evolve reliable, scalable, and secure platform foundations across hybrid/on‑prem factory environments (e.g., Kubernetes/EKS, vSphere/ESXi, Linux/Windows server, industrial PCs), with clear reliability and cost guardrails. Codify production‑readiness standards and guardrails for factory systems (health checks, runbooks, SLOs/SLIs, deployment safety, failover patterns) aligned to Platform's production readiness checklist. Advance Infrastructure‑as‑Code and configuration automation (e.g., Terraform/Terragrunt, Ansible) for factory workloads, including provisioning, secrets, policies, and change safety. Partner with Manufacturing Engineering, Factory IT, Security, and Networking to land pragmatic, operable designs; contribute to reference architectures and reusable patterns. Lead or contribute to reliability initiatives (e.g., self‑healing automation, safe rollouts/canaries, rollback strategies) appropriate to level. Observability Raise the bar on end‑to‑end telemetry for factory systems: high‑signal metrics, logs, traces, and SLO‑driven alerts (e.g., Prometheus/Grafana, Loki/Tempo, Datadog, Splunk). Establish consistent dashboards and service health views for shop/line‑level systems, including exporters for hypervisor/VM health and plant endpoints where feasible (e.g., vSphere exporters). Improve alert quality and ownership: reduce noise, align escalation policies, and ensure actionable runbooks and health checks for critical services. Build internal tooling (CLI/SDKs, operators/controllers, remediation bots) that turns telemetry into prevention and rapid response. Tiger Team / Incident Response Act as technical incident responder for factory‑impacting events; lead fast triage, stabilize services. Drive post‑incident reviews that eliminate repeat failure modes; improve MTTR and availability through durable engineering fixes and process improvements. Drill on‑call readiness, escalation policies, and schedules using established incident tooling and practices (e.g., Rootly/alternatives), tuned for 24x7 manufacturing operations. Mentor peers through reliability deep dives, failover exercises, and simulation runbooks (breadth of mentorship scales with level). Qualifications Production experience in SRE/Platform/DevOps or Operations, owning availability, performance, and cost for critical services. Strength in several of: Kubernetes/EKS and container networking; AWS primitives for resilient platforms; vSphere/ESXi and virtualization; Linux (and working Windows Server) administration; service discovery, load balancing, and DNS. Observability across metrics/logs/traces, SLO/error‑budget practice, and alert hygiene with tools like Prometheus/Grafana, Loki/Tempo, Datadog, Splunk. Production change safety: GitOps, progressive delivery, guardrails in CI/CD (GitLab preferred), automated rollbacks, and policy‑as‑code. Infrastructure automation: Terraform/Terragrunt, Ansible, scripting (Python/Bash), secrets management, and least‑privilege patterns. Incident leadership/participation in 24x7 environments; clear comms under pressure and a habit of converting learnings into durable fixes. Ability to partner across Factory IT, Manufacturing Engineering, Security, Networking, and application teams; communicate tradeoffs simply and drive decisions. Nice to have Industrial/OT‑adjacent experience (lineside HMIs, MES/SCADA integrations, PLC interfaces, ruggedized compute) and shop‑floor networking constraints. Experience building or integrating exporters (e.g., vSphere) or consolidating factory telemetry into plant‑wide health views. DR playbooks, capacity modeling, and cost/performance optimization for hybrid environments.
