Principal Integration Engineer

Who Are We?

At Parry Labs, we believe the modern combat advantage relies on the speed and scale of open systems. We redefine the edge of the battlespace by delivering game-changing capabilities to our warfighters through digital engineering, software, and hardware solutions.

About The Job

This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, technically challenging environment and wants meaningful ownership over system-level integration outcomes. It offers broad technical exposure, high autonomy, and the opportunity to solve complex cross-disciplinary problems with direct impact on mission-critical system performance.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Define and lead system-level integration strategy across Linux-based compute environments, hardware/software interfaces, IP-networked components and services, and controlled platform baselines.
• Develop integration approaches, build sequences, dependency maps, and interface validation strategies that support stable system operation.
• Lead system build, installation, configuration, and baseline management across lab, development, and customer-facing environments.
• Guide complex hardware/software integration across embedded software, operating systems, middleware, applications, and external interfaces.
• Define testbed and lab requirements needed to support integration, troubleshooting, regression, readiness, and automation.
• Lead cross-functional troubleshooting and drive integration risks, blockers, and defects to closure.
• Maintain traceability across requirements, interfaces, builds, verification events, and integrated capabilities.
• Drive alignment across Systems, Software, Hardware, Test, Cyber, Quality, Configuration Management, and Program teams.
• Support readiness reviews, customer-facing integration events, and formal technical demonstrations.
• Mentor engineers and strengthen integration rigor, troubleshooting discipline, and execution consistency across the team.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related technical field; equivalent experience may be considered.
• 10+ years of experience in systems integration, systems engineering, hardware/software integration, test infrastructure, or related technical roles.
• Demonstrated experience defining and leading system-level integration strategy, including sequencing, dependency management, interface bring-up, and stable baseline establishment.
• Strong experience troubleshooting hardware/software interfaces such as Ethernet, serial, USB, CAN, or similar I/O interfaces.
• Experience with system build strategy, baseline management, test environments, and hardware/software configuration alignment.
• Strong root-cause analysis skills across software, hardware, networking, and integrated systems.
• Proven ability to drive cross-functional technical alignment and maintain execution momentum across engineering teams.
• Experience supporting integration traceability, automation, readiness activities, and formal test or demonstration events.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to clearly convey status, risk, and technical recommendations.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and provide technical direction beyond a single assigned integration scope.
• Lead and support customer-facing integration events, technical demonstrations, readiness activities, and on-site execution at customer, lab, or test locations; travel of up to 30% is expected based on program needs and integration event schedules.
• Active Secret clearance or the ability to acquire a security clearance required.
