But what if they could “plug” into a grid, the way buildings do on Earth? Instead of cables and outlets, Star Catcher is building the technology to wirelessly beam energy to spacecraft’s existing solar panels when and where they need it.\nBe an early member of a team building an entirely new energy infrastructure at scale to power the next frontier.\nStar Catcher Industries, Inc. (Star Catcher) located in Jacksonville, Florida is building the first power grid in space. We are seeking a hands-on IT Infrastructure & Systems Engineer to support enterprise systems, network operations, cybersecurity tools, end-user technology, and IT projects. As operations expand across our high-tech Jacksonville facilities, including clean rooms, optical labs, and machine shops, this role will help keep engineering, production, and corporate technology secure, reliable, and available.\nUnlike a traditional corporate IT support role, the IT Infrastructure & Systems Engineer combines systems administration, network operations, escalated technical support, and security monitoring with hands-on delivery of IT projects. Working within established technical priorities and project plans, this engineer implements improvements, resolves complex issues, maintains dependable infrastructure, and supports cybersecurity requirements in a fast-moving hardware engineering environment. Routine operational changes must remain within explicitly delegated authority and established procedures; changes outside that scope require approval.\nThis is a 100% on-site position in Jacksonville, Florida, supporting three offices located within a few miles of one another. Local travel between offices is required, and occasional after-hours maintenance or emergency support may be needed.\nKey Responsibilities\nNetwork Operations & Infrastructure Support\nConfigure, deploy, maintain, and troubleshoot switches, firewalls, routers, VPNs, and wireless access points across Star Catcher’s facilities.\nMonitor network health, latency, bandwidth, and uptime; investigate connectivity issues and assist with planned network improvements, redundancy, and failover testing.\nSupport physical servers, storage (SAN/NAS), racks, cabling, and related infrastructure; maintain accurate configurations and escalate design decisions as appropriate.\nSystems Administration, Identity & Cloud Operations\nAdminister user accounts, access permissions, MFA, SSO, and business platforms such as Google Workspace and other identity or productivity systems used by the company.\nMaintain and troubleshoot Windows and Linux systems, virtualization platforms, and cloud-hosted services as deployed; assist with upgrades, migrations, and routine maintenance.\nManage endpoint configurations, patching, application deployment, and encryption using approved endpoint-management tools; resolve complex support tickets and coordinate with IT support staff.\nDevelop, test, and maintain scripts and automation to streamline system administration, software deployment, monitoring, and recurring operational tasks.\nCybersecurity Operations & Compliance Support\nOperate and maintain assigned security tools and technical safeguards; investigate alerts, document findings, escalate potential incidents, and carry out approved remediation steps.\nAssist with network segmentation, access controls, system hardening, and collection of technical evidence supporting NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, and applicable defense requirements.\nMonitor and troubleshoot endpoint detection and response (EDR), logging/SIEM, firewall policies, and other security technologies in coordination with IT leadership.\nData Protection, Backup & Incident Response\nMaintain and test approved backup and recovery processes for critical systems and data; assist with disaster recovery and business continuity exercises.\nInvestigate systems, network, and endpoint incidents; support incident response by capturing logs, documenting actions, restoring service, and escalating issues promptly.\nMaintain system documentation, network diagrams, operating procedures, asset records, and technical handoff notes.\nIT Project Delivery & Technical Collaboration\nComplete assigned IT infrastructure, systems, security, and workplace-technology projects, including deployments, upgrades, migrations, and process improvements.\nCoordinate project tasks, perform testing, document changes, communicate progress and blockers, and provide handoff information to IT leadership and support teams.\nCoordinate with technology vendors on technical support cases, troubleshooting, equipment repairs or replacements, and implementation activities.\nAs assigned, assist with engineering applications, specialized workstations, and lab or production computers, with the support scope defined jointly by IT leadership and Engineering.\nRequired Qualifications & Skills\n Education: Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, Network Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent hands-on experience).\nExperience: Typically, 3-5 years of hands-on experience across systems administration, network support, infrastructure operations, or enterprise IT support; engineering, manufacturing, or regulated environments are a plus.\nNetwork Skills: Practical experience troubleshooting switches, firewalls, wireless networks, VLANs, DNS/DHCP, VPNs, and common connectivity issues; familiarity with routing and network security fundamentals.\nSystems Skills: Working knowledge of Windows administration, endpoint management, identity and access management, Linux basics, and virtualization or cloud systems; ability to diagnose and resolve cross-platform issues.\nScripting & Automation: Ability to create, test, troubleshoot, and document scripts that automate recurring IT tasks using an appropriate scripting language.\nSecurity Operations: Experience using endpoint security tools, reviewing alerts and logs, and following documented response procedures.\n U.S. Person Status: Required due to access to export-controlled data (ITAR/EAR). A security clearance is not required for this position.\nPreferred Experience & Certifications\nExperience with Google Cloud administration and Microsoft Azure.\nPrior defense-industry experience or familiarity with NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, or ITAR/EAR environments.\n Certifications:Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) or equivalent practical networking experience\nCompTIA Security+ or Network+\nRelevant Microsoft, Google Workspace, Linux, or endpoint-management certifications\nRelevant cloud or cybersecurity operations certification\n\nHelp us deploy and scale space infrastructure that will drive our utilization of space forward!
