Linux Integration & Test Engineer

Surrey
£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
