Job Summary:
Hermeus is seeking a DevOps Engineer to support the development, integration, and deployment of flight software systems. The role focuses on designing and managing Gitlab CI/CD pipelines and enabling automated Flight Test on various Cloud and HW testbeds including Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL).
Responsibilities:
• Design, implement, and maintain scalable Gitlab CI/CD pipelines to support flight software build, test, and release workflows.
• Develop and manage containerized environments using Docker to ensure consistency across development, simulation, and test systems.
• Provision and manage cloud infrastructure on Amazon Web Services using Infrastructure as Code with Terraform.
• Build and maintain automated pipelines for SIL and HIL testing, enabling continuous validation of flight software against simulated and real hardware interfaces.
• Support Flight Test operations by developing reliable deployment, telemetry, and data collection workflows.
• Integrate hardware test benches with CI/CD systems to enable automated regression testing and real-time feedback.
• Optimize build systems for performance, reproducibility, and traceability across multiple flight software configurations.
• Collaborate closely with flight software, avionics, and test engineers to streamline development and test cycles.
• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions for both cloud and on-premise test environments.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Strong experience with CI/CD systems, particularly GitLab pipelines.
• Proficiency in containerization technologies such as Docker.
• Hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, etc.).
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools, especially Terraform.
• Solid scripting skills (Python, Bash, or similar).
• Experience supporting automated testing frameworks (PyTest, GoogleTest, etc.), ideally including SIL/HIL systems.
• Familiarity with Linux-based development and deployment environments.
Preferred:
• Experience working with embedded or flight software systems.
• Familiarity with real-time systems and communication protocols (e.g., CAN, UART, Ethernet).
• Experience integrating hardware test rigs into automated pipelines.
• Understanding of flight test operations and data workflows.
• Knowledge of simulation environments used in aerospace systems.
