At Progressive Machine & Design, we build more than automation—we build opportunities for talented people to grow, solve challenging problems, and make an impact. We are looking for an IT – Infrastructure & Security Engineer to join our IT Team. This is a senior-level technical role for someone who enjoys designing and improving infrastructure, strengthening cybersecurity, solving complex technical challenges, and helping a growing manufacturing and engineering organization operate securely and efficiently.

You’ll work closely with our IT Operations Manager and Systems Administrator as a senior technical resource, taking the lead on infrastructure architecture, cybersecurity engineering, major technology changes, and complex technical projects.

If you're someone who likes to understand how systems work, thinks ahead about security and reliability, and enjoys having ownership of meaningful technical work, this could be a great opportunity to grow your career at PMD.

What You'll Do

• Lead the architecture, engineering, implementation, and modernization of PMD's core infrastructure and security technologies.
• Serve as a senior technical resource for enterprise networking, including switching, routing, wireless, firewalls, VPN, VLANs, network segmentation, NAC/802.1X, and secure remote access.
• Engineer and support server, virtualization, storage, data center, and cloud infrastructure.
• Design and improve backup, recovery, replication, and disaster recovery capabilities.
• Lead cybersecurity architecture and technical controls across infrastructure, identity, network, endpoint, cloud, and administrative systems.
• Establish and maintain secure configuration standards, system-hardening practices, and technical baselines.
• Lead technical vulnerability and risk remediation for complex or high-risk findings.
• Serve as a technical lead during significant cybersecurity incidents, including investigation, containment, recovery, and remediation.
• Support PMD's cybersecurity and compliance initiatives, including NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC requirements.
• Lead or serve as the technical owner for major infrastructure and security projects, including network redesigns, platform upgrades, migrations, and security-control implementations.
• Provide technical direction to the Systems Administrator, Service Desk Technicians, vendors, and consultants without direct supervisory responsibility.
• Serve as a senior escalation point for complex infrastructure, network, cloud, identity, security, and business-system issues.
• Develop automation and integrations using PowerShell, APIs, and other tools to improve security, efficiency, monitoring, and consistency.
• Maintain architecture diagrams, technical standards, security documentation, recovery procedures, and other documentation necessary for a well-supported environment.
• Mentor and cross-train IT team members to strengthen technical capabilities and reduce key-person dependency.
• Participate in planned after-hours or weekend maintenance and provide support during significant outages, cybersecurity incidents, or disaster-recovery events when needed.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is a senior-level infrastructure and security professional who can combine deep technical expertise with sound judgment, strong communication, and a practical approach to solving business problems.
