Systems Administrator- Engineering & Infrastructure
Company Background and Summary
Vaylent is a Cerberus-backed aerospace and defense manufacturing platform building the enterprise infrastructure, capabilities, and operational foundation to support a growing network of manufacturing companies, including Votaw Precision Technologies. Through its operating companies, Vaylent supports demanding aerospace, defense, and industrial programs by combining advanced manufacturing expertise with scalable business and technology infrastructure.
The Systems Administrator will own the infrastructure supporting these operations, including servers, identity, endpoints, license services, GCC High, and engineering systems. This hands-on build-and-operate role will establish secure, reliable infrastructure aligned with CMMC Level 2 requirements while partnering with Cloud and Network Engineering to support Vaylent's growing platform.
What You Will Own (Essential Functions)
- License servers — provision, maintain, and keep highly available the license servers (e.g., FlexLM) behind engineering CAD/PLM and other licensed tooling, so engineers are never idled by a license outage.
- GCC High — provisioning and administration of the Microsoft GCC High environment (identity/Entra, endpoints, Intune/MDM, configuration baselines) in partnership with the platform team.
- Core infrastructure — day-to-day administration of Windows/Linux servers, accounts, patching, backups, DR, and hardening — with the audit-evidence trail CMMC requires.
- Engineering systems — support of high-performance engineering workstations and the CAD/PLM environment (CATIA, NX, Windchill/Teamcenter connectors), so the platform's highest-cost labor stays fully operational.
- Partner with the Cloud Engineer on hybrid identity, endpoint compliance, and secure data flows between on-prem sites and AWS GovCloud.
- Security hygiene — configuration baselines, endpoint compliance, and separation-of-duties appropriate to a CMMC L2 / ITAR environment.
