Staff Mission Systems Integration Engineer

We are seeking a Staff Mission Integration Engineer to support the integration, configuration, troubleshooting, and deployment of complex mission-system hardware and software environments. This is a highly hands-on project engineering role for an individual who is comfortable working across the boundaries of computing hardware, Linux operating systems, embedded software, networking, electronics, RF equipment, and laboratory infrastructure.

The successful candidate will work directly with physical systems to bring individual hardware and software components together into reliable, integrated mission capabilities. This position requires an engineer who is equally comfortable working at a Linux terminal, configuring network equipment, connecting and troubleshooting fiber, installing or moving hardware, using electronic test equipment, investigating software behavior, and coordinating the repair or replacement of failed equipment.

• Project Engineering: lead multi-disciplinary teams, innovate, design, integrate, test, qualify, and rapidly field advanced technologies and mission systems onto autonomous unmanned platforms.
• Integrate: Integrate, configure, troubleshoot, and maintain hardware and software supporting mission-system development and test environments.
• Execute: Install, configure, administer, and troubleshoot Linux-based computing platforms.
• Evaluate: Troubleshoot complex problems spanning hardware, operating systems, embedded software, networks, and external equipment.
• Configure: Configure and troubleshoot Ethernet networks, switches, routers, fiber-optic connections, and associated network infrastructure.
• Cross Domain: Support configuration and integration of Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) within applicable system and security architectures.
• Embedded Systems: Integrate embedded software and computing hardware into larger mission-system environments.
• Review and troubleshoot C/C++, Python, Bash, and system configuration as necessary to identify integration issues.
• Work with Git-based software environments and containerized applications as part of system integration and troubleshooting activities.
• Install, cable, configure, and maintain computing, networking, RF, and laboratory equipment.
• Troubleshoot serial and Ethernet interfaces between system components.
• Support integration and troubleshooting of RF equipment, including associated computing, networking, power, and control interfaces.
• Use oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, and other laboratory test equipment to troubleshoot system and hardware issues.
• Diagnose hardware failures and coordinate repair, replacement, return, and reinstallation of equipment with vendors and internal organizations.
• Support configuration management and documentation of integrated laboratory and mission-system environments.
• Develop repeatable approaches for system configuration, installation, integration, and troubleshooting.
• Work closely with engineers from software, hardware, networking, cybersecurity, RF, and other technical disciplines to resolve system-level integration problems.
• Support laboratory and occasional field integration and test activities as required.
• Provide technical leadership and mentoring to less-experienced engineers and technicians in system integration and troubleshooting practices.
