Headquartered at the Boschung Technology Center in Payerne, Switzerland, and with locations across Europe, North America, and Asia, we combine innovation, quality, and teamwork to deliver results our customers can rely on. Committed to sustainability, we pioneer automation, zero-emission vehicles, and digital infrastructure to make tomorrow’s surface safety both smarter and greener. Every success at Boschung is the result of close collaboration between our talented teams, and we are proud to offer an environment where expertise, ideas and commitment make a real difference.

Boschung Mecatronic AG is the technology-driven entity within the Boschung Group responsible for the engineering, production, sales, and after-sales of advanced electronic, mechatronic, and software systems dedicated to the detection and management of road and airport surface conditions. Our technologies combine sensors, embedded electronics, connectivity, and intelligent software platforms deployed on critical infrastructures worldwide. Through advanced data processing and proprietary algorithms, our systems help anticipate surface conditions and enable predictive operational decision-making.

To strengthen our Infrastructure team, Boschung Mecatronic AG is looking for a System & Network Engineer who wants to take real technical ownership of the infrastructure behind our digital services. This is not a role where you simply maintain a few servers and forward tickets. You will work across bare-metal infrastructure, networking, security, Linux, Infrastructure as Code, observability and distributed platforms, while actively contributing to architecture decisions and the future evolution of our infrastructure.

If you enjoy understanding systems end to end, automating what should not be done twice, and solving complex infrastructure challenges, this could be a very good fit.

Manage, maintain and evolve our bare-metal, network and security infrastructure
Operate and develop Spine-Leaf infrastructure across compute, networking and security layers
Administer and maintain servers in GNU/Linux environments
Automate recurring infrastructure and operational tasks using Infrastructure as Code
Manage network and LIR configurations, including VPN, LAG, Trunk and VLAN
Monitor platform health and performance, diagnose incidents and identify opportunities for improvement
Ensure infrastructure availability, performance, robustness and reliability across development, test and production environments
Actively participate in technical and architectural discussions for our applications and digital services
Define and plan the future evolution and extension of our infrastructure according to product, service and technology needs
Collaborate on DevOps activities including application deployments on OpenStack
Operate and support Ceph clusters and database environments such as PostgreSQL and Scylla
Contribute to our observability and monitoring environment using tools such as Prometheus and Grafana
Collaborate closely with IT Support, Product Management, Hardware Development, Sales and external technology partners
Participate in the on-call service when required
