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. 

Qualifications

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.

Target salary range: $80,001 - $120,000. The estimate displayed represents the typical salary range for this position based on experience and other factors.
