About Slate

At Slate, we’re building safe, reliable vehicles that people can afford, personalize and love—and doing it here in the USA as part of our commitment to reindustrialization. The spirit of DIY and customization runs throughout every element of a Slate, because people should have control over how their trucks look, feel, and represent them.

Who We Are Looking For

Slate is looking for a highly skilled IT Systems Engineer to design, implement, and support advanced computing and IT infrastructure for engineering, manufacturing, and enterprise operations. This role bridges enterprise systems engineering, ensuring reliable, secure, and scalable platforms that meet the demanding needs of simulation, design, and production in the automotive industry.

  • Monitor system health, capacity, and performance, ensuring 24/7 reliability for mission-critical environments.


Automation & Security

  • Develop scripts and automation (Python, Bash, PowerShell) to improve system efficiency and reduce manual intervention.
  • Implement cybersecurity best practices across enterprise systems, ensuring compliance with ISO 27001, NIST, and industry standards.
  • Support disaster recovery planning, patching, and vulnerability remediation.


Collaboration & Support

  • Partner with engineering, manufacturing, and IT teams to deliver robust solutions for MES, ERP, and PLM integration.
  • Provide Tier 3 support for enterprise applications and system escalations.
  • Document system designs, configurations, and operational procedures.


What You Bring To The Team

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field. Master's degree is preferred.
  • 5+ years of experience in systems engineering.
  • Strong knowledge of Linux (RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu) and Windows Server administration.
  • Expertise in cloud integration (Azure, AWS) and hybrid computing strategies.
  • Proficiency in scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell) and automation frameworks.
  • Familiarity with networking (InfiniBand, Ethernet, VPNs, firewalls) and storage (Lustre, GPFS, SAN / NAS).
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to work across engineering and IT teams.


Physical Requirements

  • Must have the ability to travel (up to 10%).
  • Must have the ability to lift up to 35 pounds.
  • Must have the ability to stand, walk, and perform repetitive tasks for extended periods.
