Systems Administrator- Engineering & Infrastructure

Company Background and Summary

Vaylent is a Cerberus-backed aerospace and defense manufacturing platform built to bring together exceptional manufacturing companies and give them the resources, technology, and operational infrastructure to reach their full potential. As the parent company of Votaw Precision Technologies and a growing network of specialized manufacturers, Vaylent is building a platform designed to strengthen the U.S. industrial base and support some of the world’s most demanding aerospace, defense, space, and industrial programs.

Our operating companies bring deep expertise in precision manufacturing, while Vaylent provides the scale, investment, technology, and infrastructure to accelerate growth and expand capabilities. For employees, this creates an opportunity to work at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, critical national programs, and a rapidly growing industrial platform—contributing to products and systems where precision, quality, and reliability truly matter.

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.
