Job summary

RTX is seeking an engineer to develop core compute-platform services and orchestration pipelines on Linux environments, including CPU/GPU/accelerator integration. You will work on containerized runtimes, CI/CD, and performance profiling in an Agile setting.

The role requires a STEM degree and 2+ years in systems-level programming, with security clearance eligibility and U.S. citizenship. Location is McKinney, TX, onsite with relocation potential.

Qualifications

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 2 years of prior relevant experience.
• Experience in at least one systems-level programming language (e.g., C, C++, or Rust) and developing software in Linux environments.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and/or DevSecOps practices and working within Agile software development methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, or similar).
• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required.
• U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Develop software components that provide core compute-platform services, including data transport, scheduling, and processing orchestration.
• Implement and maintain frameworks enabling scalable, high-throughput, and low-latency processing pipelines.
• Support definition and documentation of platform interfaces, APIs, and data flows under guidance from senior engineers.
• Integrate software across Linux-based compute nodes and heterogeneous processing environments (CPU/GPU/accelerators).
• Manage and configure Linux OS environments and containerized runtime systems (Docker/Podman) to support platform deployment and operation.
• Participate in Agile development activities and CI/CD pipeline operations.
• Assist in performance profiling and optimization of compute workloads.
• Troubleshoot software issues within multi-process or distributed compute environments.
• Contribute to improvements in platform tools, workflows, and software development practices.
