System Integration Engineer Jobs in New York (NOW HIRING)

Responsibilities

Peraton Labs is seeking a hands-on Software Integration Engineer to be responsible for building, testing, packaging, and maintaining the containerized software deliverables for programs with Test & Evaluation (T&E) components.

This engineer will implement CI/CD pipelines, build and debug Docker containers, write integration tests, prepare code drops for leaderboard scoring, and help enforce coding standards across contributions from multiple subcontractor organizations. The right candidate is a strong software engineer who is comfortable working across the stack, from low-level C++ and Python to container orchestration and automated testing.

Position Responsibilities

• Build, maintain, and troubleshoot Docker containers that package the full software system for delivery to T&E testbeds
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipeline stages including automated builds, unit tests, integration tests, static analysis, and artifact packaging using tools such as GitLab CI, Jenkins, or GitHub Actions
• Prepare Monthly Code Drop (MCD) and quarterly Major Code Revision (MCR) packages, ensuring each release includes working containers, execution scripts, and updated documentation
• Execute self-test leaderboard runs on internal hardware, validate scoring outputs, diagnose failures, and report results for inclusion in Monthly Status Reports
• Write and maintain integration tests that verify software components from different subcontractor teams interoperate correctly when assembled into the unified container
• Apply and enforce coding standards on incoming subcontractor code contributions, including inline comments, documentation, consistent formatting, and version control practices
• Manage dependency resolution, version pinning, and reproducible build configurations so that containers produce identical results across development and evaluation environments
• Prepare integration demonstrations and technical materials supporting Preliminary Design Reviews, Critical Design Reviews, site visits, and quarterly progress reviews
• Maintain internal documentation including build procedures, known issues, interface specifications, and troubleshooting guides for the integration environment
