Embedded Device Lab Administrator
About The Position
As our Embedded Device Lab Administrator, you will be part of a team of experts building a secure real-time middleware platform with extreme performance and scalability. As part of our distributed RTI Platform Team, your role is critical in enabling and maintaining our products across various platforms and systems. This position is based at our Sunnyvale, CA Headquarters and requires you to work onsite. You will use your leadership to take our embedded lab to the next level. You are responsible for bringing up and maintaining the embedded systems in our lab at Sunnyvale HQ. We currently support over 70 different architectures. The work involves creating and configuring bootloaders, building and configuring (embedded) kernels involving a wide range of RTOS, and integration into the automation frameworks at RTI. You will work with our OS and tools partners as we discover issues with their toolchains and operating systems.

You will partner closely with IT and other teams as part of a cross departmental super-group.
