About Us

www.asylonrobotics.com

Asylon automates security operations using robots, software, and AI in order to help its customers protect their people, property, and assets. Asylon was founded in 2015 by three MIT aerospace engineers who have worked on a variety of projects in the aerospace industry from the V-22 Osprey to commercial jet engines to defense systems on Navy destroyers. With our team's strong background in aerospace, Asylon develops products consistent with the quality standards demanded by commercial and military customers. Today, Asylon is a dynamic team that is passionate about robots and committed to building and operating safe, high quality products that solve the greatest challenges facing the robotics and security industries.

We are building a diverse team that creates novel solutions and provides previously unrealized services via robotics. The Asylon team is perfect for those who wish to apply their expertise to revolutionize the robotics industry while expanding their own skillsets.

Product - Robotic Perimeter Security

Asylon develops field deployable infrastructure for automated robots to augment the security teams of our clients. We believe that the true advantages of robotics and automation come when we can have robots and humans working hand-in-hand to increase security and help save lives. We see robots as a means to deliver actionable, timely, and persistent intelligence. DroneCore, our full stack aerial and ground robotics solution, is revolutionizing the way the security industry operates by providing capabilities to security teams that they have never had before.

Position

Asylon is hiring a full-time IT Systems Engineer to join our Norristown, PA team. In this role you will drive our AI enablement efforts, bringing AI into everyday work across the company: standing up environments for AI agents, building and maintaining the harnesses and tooling they depend on, and helping colleagues turn their prototypes into reliable, hosted internal applications. Underpinning this work, you will design, deploy, and maintain the systems that run our business, with an emphasis on services running on Linux and cloud-based platforms such as GitLab and 3DEXPERIENCE. You will work closely with teams across Asylon to understand their needs and keep them productive. The ideal candidate is a versatile builder who is as comfortable architecting AI and cloud infrastructure as they are administering Linux services, and who is excited to grow their skills as the role and the IT department expand.

Primary Duties

• Drive the company's AI enablement efforts: stand up infrastructure for AI agents, maintain agent harnesses and tooling, and help teams turn their prototypes into reliable, hosted internal applications.
• Design, deploy, and maintain services running on Linux and cloud-based platforms, keeping them secure, scalable, and available.
• Help keep our IT asset inventory accurate and up to date.
• Work with other departments to troubleshoot and resolve network and application availability and performance problems.
• Configure, deploy, and support software baseline configurations.
• Capture and test backups to ensure systems and data can be reliably recovered.
• Develop and document operational procedures.

Required Skills and Experience

• 3+ years of professional experience in systems engineering, infrastructure, IT operations, or a similar role.
• Strong Linux skills, including deploying, configuring, and maintaining services on Linux servers.
• Experience building and operating cloud-based and self-hosted services and platforms.
• Scripting or programming experience to automate tasks and build internal tooling (e.g. Python, Bash).
• Good understanding of cybersecurity best practices.
• Interest in AI and a track record of quickly learning and adopting new technologies.
• Ability to manage multiple IT projects to successful completion.
• Ability to work effectively with all organizational levels and departments, including non-technical colleagues.

Bonus Points

• Experience standing up and maintaining infrastructure for AI agents or other AI tooling.
• Experience helping non-developers turn prototypes or low-code projects into hosted, maintainable internal applications.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience administering GitLab, 3DEXPERIENCE, or similar engineering and collaboration platforms.
• Knowledge of and experience with compliance frameworks, such as NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, and NIST CSF.
