Linux String Systems Engineer

What is the primary mission of this role?:

Hardware Integration and String Test Engineer to lead and support radar system testing in a dynamic lab environment. This role is critical to ensuring that Systems and Software Engineering teams have the necessary hardware, networking, and infrastructure to execute development and testing initiatives effectively.

What are the main functions of this role?

This role encompasses end-to-end solutions, including the setup and maintenance of defined radar string environments—covering servers, network switches, cabling (Cat5, RF), and power systems.

Responsibilities include hardware configuration, racking and stacking, and operating system installation (Windows/Linux). The position also supports lab operations such as inventory management, equipment shipments, and coordination with IT and engineering teams.

Additionally, this role will assist with hardware-in-the-loop testing to ensure systems accurately represent real radar configurations.
