Job description

SAIC is seeking a Mid-Level Linux Support Administrator/Engineer to support the design, development, configuration, and maintenance of Linux-based embedded platforms supporting mission-critical environments. This is a highly hands-on role focused on building, configuring, and troubleshooting Linux systems that support software engineering and operational teams.

This opportunity is ideal for an engineer who has moved beyond entry-level support responsibilities and is ready to take ownership of subsystems, solve complex technical challenges, and contribute to system-level design and support activities. The selected candidate will assume much of the day-to-day Linux support work currently handled by the manager, allowing leadership to focus on strategic initiatives.

This role also offers a strong growth path into a future leadership position. This role is 100% on-site at SAIC's Sterling, VA office.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build, configure, and support Linux-based systems using Red Hat and Ubuntu environments, with a primary focus on Red Hat.  
  • Assemble hardware and software components into fully operational development systems.  
  • Install operating systems, load ISOs, configure environments, and bring systems to a production-ready state for software developers.  
  • Configure networking components and resolve connectivity, performance, and system integration issues.  
  • Troubleshoot hardware/software integration problems across embedded and Linux platforms.  
  • Document system configurations, troubleshooting procedures, and support processes.  
  • Provide diagnostics, root cause analysis, and operational support for field and lab environments.  
  • Work collaboratively with cross-functional engineering teams while also operating independently when needed. 
SAIC is a premier mission integrator focused on advancing the power of technology and innovation to serve and protect our world. Our robust portfolio of offerings across the defense, space, intelligence, and civilian markets includes secure high-end solutions in mission IT, enterprise IT, engineering services, and professional services. We integrate emerging technology, rapidly and securely, into mission critical operations that modernize and enable critical national imperatives.

We are approximately 23,000 strong; driven by mission, united by purpose, and inspired by opportunities. SAIC is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, SAIC has annual revenues of approximately $7.3 billion. For more information, visit saic.com. For ongoing news, please visit our newsroom.

Required Qualifications:

  • U.S. Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a DHS Public Trust clearance.  
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).  
  • 3-5 years of professional experience supporting Linux or embedded Linux environments.  
  • Hands-on experience bringing up Linux systems, preferably Red Hat-based environments.  
  • Experience with Linux administration, system configuration, diagnostics, and troubleshooting.  
  • Familiarity with Ubuntu Linux environments.  
  • Experience configuring networking and resolving connectivity issues.  
  • Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to work through complex technical issues independently.  
  • Naturally curious mindset with a willingness to ask questions, learn new technologies, and take initiative.  
  • Experience with scripting languages such as Python or Bash is a plus
  • Understanding of hardware interfaces and embedded system environments is a plus.  

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting embedded systems or hardware/software integration environments.  
  • Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS).  
  • Experience with hardware bring-up and board-level debugging.  
  • Knowledge of secure or safety-critical systems.  
  • Previous experience supporting development environments for software engineering teams.
