We are seeking a Lead System Integrator (LSI) to serve as the primary technical integration lead. The LSI is responsible for integrating software components developed across multiple R&D teams into a unified, containerized system that meets evaluation requirements. The role encompasses preparing and quality-controlling all software deliverables, maintaining CI/CD pipelines, managing monthly code drops and quarterly major code revisions, coordinating self-test leader board submissions, and serving as the primary technical interface to the Test & Evaluation (T&E) team.

The ideal candidate operates at the intersection of generative AI/ML pipeline development and Dev Ops for research programs. They must be comfortable translating research prototypes into production-quality containerized deliverables, enforcing coding standards across academic and industry subcontractors, and ensuring the integrated system passes automated evaluation on government testbeds the team does not control.

• Own the end-to-end integration of software components into a single containerized deliverable, ensuring containers build and run correctly on T&E testbed infrastructure
• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Git Lab CI, Jenkins) that automate container builds, unit/integration testing, static analysis, and artifact packaging for all software components
• Enforce software coding best practices across all team members and subcontractors, including inline comments, documentation, version control hygiene, and reproducible build processes
• Serve as the direct technical interface to the Program Manager and the T&E team counterpart for all software delivery, integration, and troubleshooting matters. Coordinate subcontractor software inputs, resolve interface conflicts, manage integration schedules, and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs) defining boundaries between team components
