Insight Robotics is looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to design, implement and maintain the server infrastructure for our UAV aerial survey (AS) business. Insight’s AS business provides large-scale data collection, data processing and data management services to forestry and oil palm plantations.
UAV technology is transforming the way that large land areas are managed by allowing large volumes of detailed information to be captured, processed and visualized more cheaply and easily than ever before. This information is used for everything from counting the number of trees in city-sized plantations to monitoring tree health and pest and disease outbreaks and effectively planning and managing plantation infrastructure.
This produces huge volumes of data (10s of TB per project) that need to be processed, stored and hosted. The Infrastructure Engineer will be responsible for designing and implementing hardware infrastructure necessary to do so including server design, construction and maintenance; server monitoring, benchmarking and optimization; fileserver or storage infrastructure design and implementation; onsite server deployment; and hardware sourcing and purchasing.
We are looking for someone who is excited by the challenge of designing and implementing the optimal infrastructure to process, store and host vast quantities of data, and who is able to continually improve our infrastructure’s stability, performance and efficiency in ways that will have a direct impact on the success of our business.
Insight Robotics was named the IBM Global Entrepreneur of the Year and Best for the Environment by B Corp in 2015, and one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in 2016.
