What does a remote systems engineer do?

The job of a remote systems engineer is to develop, test, and maintain a computer network system for a company. Your duties include implementing updates, handling technical issues (including connectivity issues and VPN setup), performing system administration tasks, documenting changes, preparing reports, and developing new infrastructure as needed.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote systems engineer, and why are they important?

A Remote Systems Engineer is an IT professional who designs, implements, manages, and maintains computer systems and networks for organizations while working from a remote location. They ensure that systems are reliable, secure, and perform optimally, often troubleshooting issues and deploying updates without being physically present onsite. Remote Systems Engineers typically use remote access tools to monitor systems, collaborate with teams, and provide technical support. Their work is essential for companies with distributed workforces or cloud-based infrastructure.

How does a remote systems engineer typically collaborate with on-site IT teams and other departments?

As a Remote Systems Engineer, you will frequently coordinate with on-site IT staff and cross-functional teams through virtual meetings, project management tools, and shared documentation. Effective communication and clear documentation are crucial, as you may not be physically present to troubleshoot or implement solutions. You can expect to rely heavily on remote access tools and cloud-based platforms to monitor, maintain, and update systems. Building strong relationships with team members and setting clear expectations helps ensure seamless collaboration and project success, even from a distance.

Job description

Title: Sr. RHEL Designer/Engineer (OT/SCADA)
Location: preference for Houston, TX or in Miami, FL, Houston, TX or Reston, VA
Term: Full Time, Direct Hire – remote but may need to travel to client locations periodically, especially at the start or kick off of a project.
Position Overview
Our client delivers turnkey clean energy and power infrastructure solutions across the Americas. We design, build, and operate advanced Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and mission-critical networks for data centers, utilities, and industrial clients. Our technology-first mindset powers systems from SCADA to cloud—and everything in between.
About The Position
The Senior RHEL engineer will own the OS and container platform behind our on-premises energy-management deployments. You'll build and harden the tailored RHEL image and the containerized Ignition SCADA workload running on industrial PCs across U.S. data-center sites, and act as our deep RHEL authority and L3 escalation point. This is a platform-engineering and expertise role — not field installation.
You will own our OS architectures, container builds and configuration, and the runtime that hosts Ignition, while the SCADA team owns everything configured inside Ignition (tags, screens, logic). On the network side, the host firewall and OS-level networking (interfaces, routing, DNS, firewalld/nftables) are yours, while the physical and site network beyond the host NIC belongs to Operational Technology (OT).
Travel to third-party data-center sites is for troubleshooting and support only. The separate OT team commissions and deploys every machine, so you won't install systems in the field.
Responsibilities:
  • Build, version, and maintain a reproducible, turnkey RHEL image tailored to the SCADA host's needs (time sync, firewall/ports, storage, service ordering, resource tuning).
  • Own the SCADA container image end to end: Containerfile, base image, JVM, persistence, ports, hardening, scanning, and registry.
  • Run containers as systemd services via Podman and quadlets.
  • Harden the OS and images to a recognized baseline (CIS/STIG) and define a patching and lifecycle strategy for OT uptime and restricted/disconnected sites (offline/mirrored registry).
  • Troubleshoot full-stack — OS, container runtime, and application runtime behavior — remotely and on-site, handing off application-level issues to the SCADA team.
  • Own host-level networking and firewall configuration (interfaces, routing, DNS, firewalld/nftables, and port exposure for the SCADA container), and lead connectivity troubleshooting between the host and site infrastructure.
  • Document runbooks for the OT team and help define the connectivity and security posture.
  • Maintain the Windows image pipeline (Packer-based) in steady state once established: periodic patching, hardening updates, and image rebuilds.

Qualifications
  • 7+ years of senior, hands-on production RHEL/Linux engineering.
  • Container-native delivery: Podman, quadlets/systemd, building and owning container images (including packaging a JVM-based app such as Ignition), and registry management.
  • Reproducible, turnkey, versioned RHEL image building (bootc, Kickstart, Image Builder/osbuild, or Ansible-driven).
  • OS and image hardening to a recognized baseline (CIS/STIG).
  • Patch and lifecycle management for restricted/disconnected environments, including offline/mirrored content and registries.
  • Automation (Ansible) and version control.
  • Strong Linux networking and diagnostics: firewall administration (firewalld/nftables) and packet/connectivity tooling (Wireshark, tcpdump, ss, ip), plus containerized debug environments (toolbox).
  • Confidence operating as the RHEL authority, with strong documentation habits.
