£55,000 – £65,000
Full-time | 5 days onsite
Must be eligible to obtain SC clearance (not required to hold currently)
We’re working with a specialist engineering business delivering complex, high-performance systems into secure operational environments.
They need a Linux engineer who understands that integration is where engineering gets real.
This is hands-on. Physical systems. Embedded platforms. Server-class hardware. You’ll be building, configuring, optimising and fault-finding - not managing cloud dashboards.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be responsible for bringing Linux-based systems together and making them perform properly under real constraints.
Expect to:
*
Configure and integrate embedded Linux platforms
*
Build, tune and optimise kernels
*
Install, validate and troubleshoot device drivers
*
Deploy OS images and application software onto target hardware
*
Assemble and configure server-grade systems
*
Benchmark storage and processing components
*
Diagnose issues across hardware, OS and network layers
*
Support structured verification and acceptance activity
*
Work within controlled build and release processes
*
Produce clear, practical technical documentation
What They’re Looking For
You’ll likely have 5+ years working deeply with Linux, including:
*
Debian-based distributions
*
Kernel configuration and compilation
*
Command line system and network configuration
*
Shell scripting
*
C/C++ fundamentals
*
Networking protocols
*
Git-based workflows
