Linux Systems Administrator - Aircraft Integration

Overview:

The Systems Integrator provides senior-level systems engineering and integration support for complex simulation systems, with responsibility for coordinating, designing, integrating, testing, and sustaining hardware and software components within a unified simulation environment. This position combines advanced systems engineering skills with a strong software development background to ensure simulation systems, applications, interfaces, data flows, and supporting infrastructure operate together effectively and meet technical, operational, and mission objectives. The Systems Integrator works across software engineering, systems engineering, hardware engineering, networking, test, cybersecurity, and program management teams to support end-to-end integration of simulation capabilities throughout the lifecycle.

Responsibilities:

• Support integration of complex simulation systems, subsystems, software components, hardware elements, interfaces, and supporting infrastructure.
• Install and configure complex software packages on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Windows.
• Apply senior systems engineering practices to support requirements analysis, architecture alignment, interface definition, technical baseline management, and end-to-end system integration.
• Use software development knowledge to assess application behavior, interface logic, data exchange, middleware integration, and technical implementation issues within the simulation environment.
• Coordinate integration activities across software developers, systems engineers, hardware engineers, network engineers, test personnel, and operational stakeholders.
• Support development and maintenance of system architectures, interface definitions, integration plans, technical baselines, and verification approaches for simulation systems.
• Analyze system interoperability, interface compatibility, performance issues, and integration risks across distributed simulation components.
• Support software and system configuration management, version alignment, environment coordination, and release integration planning.
• Assist in troubleshooting and resolving complex integration issues involving software, hardware, networks, timing, data, and external system dependencies.
• Support lab, test, staging, and operational environments used for simulation system integration and validation.
• Participate in design reviews, integration working groups, test readiness activities, issue review boards, and technical interchange meetings.
• Ensure simulation system components are integrated in accordance with program requirements, architectural standards, cybersecurity considerations, and operational use cases.
• Support system verification, validation, regression testing, and transition activities.
• Prepare technical documentation, integration status reports, risk assessments, and recommendations for engineering and program leadership.
• Provide senior technical guidance on integration strategy, issue resolution, and engineering tradeoffs.
