About Harbinger

Harbinger is an American commercial electric vehicle (EV) company on a mission to transform an industry starving for innovation. Harbinger’s best-in-class team of EV, battery, and drivetrain experts have pooled their deep experience to bring a first-of-its-kind EV platform to support the growing demand for medium-duty EVs and Hybrids. Harbinger: Familiar Form, Revolutionary Foundation.

We are looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to serve as the primary infrastructure engineer across our cloud and on-premises environments. This role owns the architecture and operations of systems supporting both our corporate workforce and our manufacturing facilities, including the production floor, IoT-connected tooling, and the Manufacturing Execution System (MES). This is a hands-on, broad-scope role. You will design cloud architecture in AWS, manage physical infrastructure in our IDFs and server rooms, and connect our sites together with a secure, scalable
network. You should be comfortable moving between writing Terraform, racking hardware, and troubleshooting production issues that affect real vehicles being built.
