Sr. 5G VPX Integration and Test Engineer

Job Description:

Description:Why Work For Us:
This role will give you the opportunity to learn about 5G technologies and its benefit for our military customers. Experience with RF radio integration and baseband network configuration will help you come up to speed, but also technologies you will learn on the job. We’re looking for someone who is interested in learning these new technologies and willing to deal with the roadblocks and setbacks related to breaking new ground.
Within Lockheed Martin Rotary Mission Systems (RMS), we are seeking a motivated and experienced Systems Integration and Test Engineer to support RMS 5G programs including the Tactical Mobility program. Tactical Mobility is a high-profile 5G program delivering deployable 5G solutions to the DoD.

Why is this role special:
Your role on the team will be slightly different, as you will be seen on the team as the lead for understanding various VPX and CMOSS implementation requirements for software stacks (e.g., PTP4L, switch QoS). This expertise will be gathered on-the-job in coordination with other VPX/CMOSS experts.
Building this system will require knowledge of networking, for example proxy management, switch configuration, cable management/organization. Your scripting experience will allow you to understand existing scripts, creating startup scripts and bundling high level scripts.

What You Will Be Doing:
•Support integration and test of the Tactical Mobility solutions to build and productize the 5G software stack into a VPX deployable system for the US Army
•File system navigation, modifying files via CLI using VIM or nano, collecting information about the system using Linus CLI networking tools and performing environment management.
•Work side by side with the other engineers supporting the integration and test of the 5G Product solution alongside other VPX components.
•Operating in a Linux operating system
•Work through dependencies, tackle critical issues quickly, and jump in wherever the team needs it, even if it may not be the typical I&T responsibilities.
