InDyne is a full-service military, civilian and commercial operations company. Our Mission is to provide tailored cost effective, quality services and solutions. Our Vision is to exceed customer expectations by delivering results through agility, flexibility and responsiveness. Our Core Values include integrity, trust and loyalty.

RT&T, a joint venture of InDyne, Inc. and Amentum Services, Inc. is the prime contractor to support the Atlantic Range Technical Support Services (ARTSS) for the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) headquartered in Patuxent River, MD, and with locations in Maryland, Virginia, and California.

ARTSS supports Atlantic Test Ranges (ATR) and Atlantic Targets and Marine Operations (ATMO) in research and development, engineering, maintenance, operation, support of facilities, systems, and equipment in order to meet the engineering development and operational testing and fleet training missions for some of the world's premier systems. Our work with the U.S. Navy keeps the warfighter safe by testing systems before they are used in combat, and we are hiring personnel to support this important mission.

The Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) / System Administrator will support the Radio Frequency (RF) Signatures Branch at the Atlantic Test Range (ATR). ATR is the Navy's East Coast open-air test range and provides real-time test and evaluation (T&E) services including data acquisition, instrumentation, data analysis, recording, test management, and airspace management to DoD and commercial customers. The successful candidate will be embedded with a talented group of programmers and engineers focused on development and operations of custom, in-house developed, critical national defense systems related to open-air RF signature signal generation and measurements. The role requires a versatile SRE who thrives on ownership, design freedom, and solving real infrastructure challenges - building, automating, and making key architectural decisions that will have direct impact on our warfighter's ability to engage with and / or avoid adversary RF threats.
