Job Description:

Systems Engineer – Linux, Networking & Audio Lab

If you’re a Linux-heavy Systems Engineer who enjoys working across hardware, networking and real-world systems – this one’s a bit different.

You’ll be working in an advanced lab environment supporting prototype devices, audio systems and data collection setups. Less tickets, more hands-on problem solving.

The offer

  • 11-month contract (strong extension potential) – inside IR35 (PAYE via Principle HR, weekly pay)
  • 5 days onsite in Cambridge

What you’ll actually do

  • Build and support Linux-based systems and device networks
  • Set up and troubleshoot lab equipment, switches and prototype devices
  • Support data collection activities in a controlled environment
  • Diagnose issues across hardware, software and networking
  • Improve how systems are set up, maintained and scaled

What matters/ expertise

  • Strong Linux + scripting (Python or similar)
  • Experience working across hardware + software systems
  • Comfortable working independently in a small team

Why this is worth a look

This isn’t a standard IT role. It’s hands-on, technical, and gives you real ownership in a research-driven environment.

Apply now

Deadline: Thursday, 11am. Apply ASAP for immediate consideration.
