This is a classic IT support role focused on keeping our engineers and business teams productive - end-user support, workstation and endpoint management, SaaS administration, office infrastructure, and light physical infrastructure work like network cable runs and AV setup. You'll support a fast-growing team of hardware, software, cell, and manufacturing engineers with real workstation and infrastructure needs - CAD workstations, high-compute environments, engineering tooling, and modern collaboration platforms. You'll also partner with the Sacramento site (where an IT System Administrator handles factory infrastructure) to ensure our systems, security, and identity infrastructure work seamlessly across sites. This role reports to the Senior IT Manager and works closely with the People team, Facilities team, and site leaders across the company. What You'll Do (Responsibilities) End-user IT & Support * Serve as the primary IT support contact for Burlingame employees: help desk, laptop and workstation provisioning, imaging, endpoint management, and on-site troubleshooting. * Manage the equipment lifecycle - procurement, asset tracking, retrieval, refresh cycles - across a growing employee population. * Own new-hire IT onboarding and departing-employee offboarding in partnership with the People team. * Support executives, engineers, and business teams with responsive, high-quality service. Office Infrastructure * Maintain Burlingame office infrastructure: network, Wi-Fi, VoIP, printers, AV / conference rooms, and physical security systems. * Perform light cable runs and terminations for network drops, AV, and workstation setups as the office layout evolves. * Coordinate with Facilities on office moves, expansions, and new-hire desk setups. * Administer our SaaS stack - Entra AD, Atlassian, and the software tools we use across engineering, business, and operations. * Support identity and access management: SSO (Okta or similar), MFA, provisioning/deprovisioning, and access reviews across our SaaS ecosystem. Security & Compliance Support * Enforce endpoint compliance - patching, encryption, MDM policies - across all Burlingame devices. * Support the company's readiness for compliance frameworks - evidence gathering, access reviews, control operations. * Enforce access controls, password policies, and least-privilege access in partnership with the Senior IT Manager. Vendors & Cross-Site Support * Manage day-to-day relationships with IT vendors and MSPs; escalate to the Senior IT Manager on contracts and larger commitments. * Partner with the Sacramento IT System Administrator to keep corporate systems, security, and identity infrastructure aligned across sites. * Support our Broomfield office on IT needs as required. ## Related Videos - [Getting under the skin: The Social Engineering techniques](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/38-getting-under-the-skin-the-social-engineering-techniques) - [JavaScript?
