  • Implement security scanning and vulnerability assessment tools in CI/CD pipelines
  • Manage version control workflows and branching strategies for collaborative development
  • Configure and maintain GitLab runners, build agents, and testing infrastructure across multiple sites
  • Develop scripts and tools to automate software deployment to embedded and distributed systems
  • Monitor build health, test coverage, code quality metrics, and system performance
  • Support developers across multiple teams in resolving build, dependency, and environment issues
  • Document DevOps processes, tools, best practices, and technical documentation
  • Collaborate with software engineers, systems engineers, security, IT, and integration teams
  • Support approximately 20% travel for system integration events and customer demonstrations

Who you are:
  • Active Secret security clearance with ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret clearance, for which U.S. citizenship is a government requirement
  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with relevant experience depending on degree (BS +5 years, MS +3 years, PhD +1 year)
  • Strong proficiency with Linux system administration and embedded Linux environments
  • Experience with:
    • CI/CD platforms (GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar)
    • Scripting languages (Bash, Python)
    • Containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
    • Build systems for C/C++ projects (CMake, Make, or similar)
    • Version control systems (Git) and collaborative development workflows

Even Better:
  • Active Top Secret clearance (TS/SCI preferred)
  • DevOps or software infrastructure engineering experience
  • Experience with:
    • Real-time embedded systems software development
    • Package management systems (Conan, vcpkg, Artifactory)
    • Static analysis tools, code coverage tools, and performance profiling
    • Security scanning and vulnerability assessment tools (SonarQube, Trivy, etc.)
