As a part of the global industrial organization Marmon Holdings—which is backed by Berkshire Hathaway—you’ll be doing things that matter, leading at every level, and winning a better way. We’re committed to making a positive impact on the world, providing you with diverse learning and working opportunities, and fostering a culture where everyone’s empowered to be their best.
Though you may not know us by name, you’ve most likely enjoyed meals and refreshments supported by our industry-leading brand portfolio. For decades, we’ve designed and manufactured foodservice equipment for some of the world’s biggest, most recognized consumer brands.
We are driven to innovate with a clear purpose in mind: revolutionizing the future of foodservice. Guided by our commitment to Doing Things That Matter, Leading at Every Level, and Winning a Better Way, we focus on delivering meaningful impact for our customers, our communities, and each other.
The Infrastructure Engineer is a hands-on team contributor role, not a leadership position. Reporting to the Director, IT Infrastructure, this role sits on a team of infrastructure engineers and works side-by-side with the Cloud Architect and the Security Manager to help define, build, and maintain our approach to Infrastructure as Code (IaC), backup automation, local plant infrastructure, and broader infrastructure automation across a hybrid Azure and on-prem environment. This role supports both site operations and business projects, requiring regular interaction with local users, manufacturing teams, vendors, and business stakeholders.
This role scripts, builds, and documents automation in close collaboration with the Cloud Architect, the Security Manager, and the rest of the Infrastructure team, reducing manual work and strengthening our security, compliance, resiliency, and operational maturity. Because this role supports projects with real business impact, strong communication and collaboration skills are essential. The engineer will regularly work as part of project teams alongside business stakeholders and local plant teams, not in isolation.
This position supports manufacturing infrastructure, IT/OT convergence, local plant systems, and automation platforms, including factory floor networks, industrial control systems, segmented network design, and vendor escalations. This includes supporting the new automated manufacturing facility and helping bring IT and OT infrastructure together as part of this growth initiative.
This position must be bilingual in Spanish and English. The engineer will need to communicate clearly with local manufacturing teams, vendors, business stakeholders, and IT partners in both languages.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
The Infrastructure Automation Engineer will:
Partner with the Cloud Architect and the Security Manager to help define, build, and maintain IaC (Terraform, Bicep/ARM, or equivalent) across our hybrid Azure and on-prem environment
Support Azure implementation for compute, storage, networking, and identity (Entra ID, Conditional Access, PIM), working closely with the Cloud Architect and the Security Manager
Help build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure changes (Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions), supporting version control and change control (CAB) practices
Design and maintain automation for immutable backups and disaster recovery processes, in partnership with the Cloud Architect, the Security Manager, and the Infrastructure team
Support AI-enablement tooling — RAG pipelines, Azure AI Foundry, Copilot/agent integrations — as directed, working with the software engineering and data teams
Help automate identity, access, and security workflows with the Security Manager in support of Zero Trust initiatives (SSO, Conditional Access, endpoint automation)
Script and automate recurring IT operations using PowerShell, Python, and Power Automate, following the team's automation-first mandate: do it twice, script it; do it three times, automate it and document it as an SOP
Support monitoring, alerting, and self-healing automation to reduce manual intervention across hybrid workloads
Document automation, architecture decisions, and SOPs mapped to SOC 2 / ISO 27001 control requirements
Participate as a team member on cross-functional automation and AI projects with the business — helping translate requirements into working solutions
Provide primarily Tier 2 to Tier 3 support, with most work at Tier 3 for automation, Azure, infrastructure, manufacturing systems, and security-related escalations in partnership with the Cloud Architect and the Security Manager
Perform other duties as assigned
Partner with manufacturing engineering, local plant teams, and OT vendors to help integrate factory floor systems (PLCs, SCADA, industrial control systems) into the corporate network, with a security-first, segmented design and clear vendor escalation paths
Support IT/OT convergence for manufacturing locations, including network segmentation, industrial protocol support (e.g., Modbus, OPC-UA, EtherNet/IP), edge computing infrastructure, local plant infrastructure, and vendor escalations
Help apply IT-30 network segregation standards to manufacturing and OT environments
Support monitoring and automation needs for OT infrastructure alongside traditional IT systems
Required Qualifications, Skills/Competencies
Education & Certification
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, related field, or equivalent hands-on experience
Preferred certifications: Microsoft Certified Azure Administrator Associate, Azure AI Engineer Associate, HashiCorp Certified Terraform Associate, or equivalent
Knowledge & Experience
3–6 years of infrastructure engineering experience, with hands-on Azure experience across compute, storage, networking, and Entra ID
Experience writing or supporting IaC (Terraform, Bicep/ARM, or equivalent) — repeatable, version-controlled deployments, not one-off scripts
Experience with configuration management and automation tooling (Ansible, PowerShell DSC, Power Automate)
Exposure to AI or automation platforms — Azure AI Foundry, OpenAI/Copilot integrations, RAG architectures — a plus
Strong scripting ability in PowerShell and/or Python — automation is a core part of this role, not a nice-to-have
Experience operating and integrating hybrid environments that bridge on-prem virtualization (Hyper-V/VMware) with Azure
Familiarity with CI/CD tooling (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) and Git-based version control
Understanding of identity and Zero Trust concepts (Entra ID, Conditional Access, PIM, SSO)
Exposure to security/compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001) and CAB practices
Experience with monitoring/observability tooling a plus
Exposure to OT/ICS environments, industrial networking, or manufacturing automation systems a plus
Willingness to work on-site frequently at the Texas facility to support commissioning and go-live activities
Bilingual fluency in Spanish and English is required, including the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly with manufacturing teams, vendors, and business stakeholders
Nice to Have
Containers and Kubernetes experience
Network automation (Cisco, Cloudflare, or similar programmable network platforms)
PKI, HSM, or Key Vault / secrets management experience
Experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment
Personal Attributes (Critical for This Role)
Excellent communicator who can translate automation and AI concepts into plain language for business stakeholders
Genuinely enjoys project work with the business — comfortable being an active team member on initiatives with non-IT partners, not just working IT-to-IT
Self-directed and curious; treats automation as a mandate and documentation as part of the job, not an afterthought
Team player who thrives as part of a growing team — this role collaborates closely with the Cloud Architect and the Security Manager as teammates, executing alongside them rather than setting independent direction
Logical, detail-oriented, and comfortable clarifying requirements before committing to a solution
Low-ego and collaborative — willing to learn from others and share credit
Comfortable with ambiguity and evolving requirements in a fast-moving technology landscape
Strong analytical and creative problem-solving skills
All Employees
Follow established policies and procedures as outlined in Marmon Foodservice Technologies’ Quality Manual and associated documents
Participate in quality assurance and business improvement activities, including training and improvement projects as defined by the organization
