• Role Overview:
• Own software and computer-system integration for radar platforms and test environments, with a focus on system bring-up, configuration validation, deployment readiness, and root-cause debug
• Act as the Integration and Test team's primary systems-focused engineer for Linux, networking, platform configuration, and software deployment workflows
• Support lab, production, and field integration efforts by ensuring radar systems, support equipment, and test infrastructure are configured correctly and can be debugged quickly when issues arise

Responsibilities

• Lead software and platform bring-up activities for radar systems, support equipment, and test racks
• Validate end-to-end system configuration across BIOS, storage, Linux services, networking, time sync, container/runtime environments, and deployment tooling
• Troubleshoot and root-cause integration failures involving system configuration, operating system setup, services, permissions, network connectivity, routing, switch configuration, and software deployment
• Debug issues such as incorrect BIOS settings, RAID misconfiguration, Linux service failures, Docker context or permission issues, Azure CLI setup problems, and broken software deployment pipelines
• Own configuration and validation of Linux timing and synchronization services, including chrony, linuxptp, timemaster and related system dependencies
• Support deployment and validation of software configuration stacks, including templated/config-as-code workflows such as Jsonnet-based builds
• Configure and troubleshoot Layer 2/Layer 3 networking for lab and system test environments, including host networking, VLANs, routing, firewall rules, and managed switch setup
• Stand up and maintain new test racks and STE environments, including computer systems, networking hardware, timing hardware, and test support infrastructure
• Develop scripts, tools, checklists, and automated validation workflows to quickly identify incorrect system configuration before formal test execution
• Partner with systems, software, firmware, RF , and hardware engineers to isolate faults across subsystem boundaries and drive issues to closure
• Help design, implement, and execute automated test workflows for radar and RF system verification
• Develop and maintain automated UI/end-to-end tests for the radar's on-device web interfaces — exercising all pages and components after software deployment to validate that the UI renders correctly, controls behave as expected
• data flows through to the backend (e.g., browser-driven test frameworks such as Playwright, Selenium
• Develop and document repeatable integration procedures, debug guides, and test instructions so technicians and engineers can perform setup and troubleshooting consistently
• Support lab and field test events as needed to ensure radar systems are ready for execution and data collection

• Experience supporting integration and test for radar systems, RF systems, aerospace systems, defense systems, or other complex electromechanical platforms
• Experience using and configuring RF test equipment or supporting RF verification in lab environments
• Experience standing up and maintaining lab infrastructure, STE, HIL / SIL environments, or production test systems
• Familiarity with containerized software environments such as Docker, container permissions, and deployment/runtime configuration
• Experience with infrastructure and deployment tooling such as Azure CLI, configuration templating, Jsonnet, Ansible, or similar tooling
• Experience with precision time synchronization technologies such as PTP , NTP , GNSS -referenced timing, or timemaster
• Experience with test automation frameworks, automated hardware/software validation, or regression testing in lab environments
• Experience with browser-based UI/end-to-end test automation using Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or similar frameworks
• Familiarity with data collection, parsing, and analysis using Python or similar tools
• Experience working directly with technicians and cross-functional engineering teams to execute integration, troubleshooting, and test activities
