Job Description
Join Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, and make a meaningful impact. In this role, you will provide technical leadership and architectural guidance while developing innovative software solutions that help our customers make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer.
As a System Integration Engineer, you will lead the integration of a software deployment platform used in electron microscope systems. The platform is built on virtualization and Kubernetes technologies and enables multiple software components and services to be deployed, configured, upgraded, and operated as a unified system.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working across software, infrastructure, systems, validation, and service domains. You will help ensure predictable deployments and upgrades, reduce integration risk, and improve platform reliability in the demanding environment of advanced electron microscopy.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own the system integration of a virtualization- and Kubernetes-based software deployment platform used in electron microscope systems.
- Ensure platform services, application modules, configuration, networking, startup, shutdown, recovery, and upgrade processes function together as a cohesive solution.
- Maintain a system-level view of interfaces, dependencies, version baselines, resource allocation, and configuration changes across platform, application, validation, and service teams.
- Define and continuously improve integration, deployment, upgrade, and recovery testing strategies to support predictable, repeatable, and low-risk releases.
- Lead structured troubleshooting of integration issues across software, infrastructure, and system boundaries.
- Provide technical input to installation, upgrade, recovery, and service documentation.
REQUIREMENTS
- Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience in system integration, platform engineering, DevOps, system testing, or a similar role within a complex software and hardware environment.
- Practical knowledge of virtualization, KVM, Kubernetes or other container orchestration platforms, networking, logging, resource management, configuration management, scripting, and deployment automation.
- Strong understanding of multi-component software platforms, including deployment, upgrades, version compatibility, monitoring, recovery, troubleshooting, and service support.
- Ability to collaborate across software development, platform infrastructure, system architecture, validation, and service organizations.
- Strong ownership mindset, systems thinking, and structured problem-solving skills, particularly when diagnosing issues across complex or unclear component boundaries.
- Ability to translate troubleshooting outcomes into documented, maintainable, and sustainable solutions.
- Strong English communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience with scientific instruments, microscopy, or other highly complex systems is an advantage.
