CAS/COTS Systems Integration Engineer

Join a technology team supporting mission-critical aviation systems in a highly technical environment. This opportunity focuses on integrating and supporting the software, hardware, operating systems, networking, and infrastructure that enable complex operational systems.

The organization values engineers who can look beyond individual technologies to understand how complete systems interact. You’ll work alongside multidisciplinary engineering teams, customers, and vendors to troubleshoot complex challenges, implement solutions, and support systems from development and integration through operational deployment.

Why join us?

Mission-Critical Technology: Support complex systems in an aviation environment where reliability and performance matter.

Technical Variety: Work across Linux, hardware, software, networking, virtualization, storage, displays, and security.

Hands-On Engineering: Take ownership of integration, configuration, automation, and troubleshooting challenges.

Collaborative Environment: Partner with engineers across multiple disciplines, as well as customers and technology vendors.

Professional Growth: Gain exposure to advanced Red Hat technologies, virtualization, automation, networking, and high-availability architectures., We are seeking a mid-to-senior-level CAS/COTS Systems Integration Engineer to integrate, configure, implement, troubleshoot, maintain, and support Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software and hardware within Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)-based development, integration, and operational environments.

This is a systems integration position-not simply a Linux administration role. The ideal candidate understands how operating systems, applications, hardware, displays, networking, storage, virtualization, security controls, and automation work together. You’ll be responsible for identifying and resolving complex technical issues across these interconnected systems while supporting both engineering environments and deployed operational systems.
