Job summary

RTX in McKinney, TX is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer II to support Linux-based compute platforms for mission-critical processing in EO/IR programs. This associate‑level role requires a STEM degree and hands-on experience in C/C++ (and Rust), Linux development, and real‑time concepts.

You will contribute to CI/CD practices, Agile workflows, and cross‑functional collaboration on CPU/GPU environments, with an onsite requirement in McKinney and relocation options available.

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 real-time, platform, or low-level system development concepts.
• 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
• Onsite role in McKinney, Texas, with local residency or relocation required.
