Job description

We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to support the development, integration, and deployment of flight software systems. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, infrastructure, and testing, with a strong emphasis on designing and managing Gitlab CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated Flight Test on various Cloud and HW testbeds including Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL).

Key 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.

Required Qualifications

Strong experience with CI/CD systems, particularly GitLab pipelines.
Proficiency in containerization technologies such as Docker.

Experience supporting automated testing frameworks (PyTest, GoogleTest, etc.), ideally including SIL/HIL systems.
Familiarity with Linux-based development and deployment environments.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working with embedded or flight software systems.
Familiarity with real-time systems and communication protocols (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.
