Job Description

Job Title: Lead DevOps Engineer – Embedded Ground Vehicle Systems

Job Description

This role leads the implementation of modern DevOps practices across embedded software development teams supporting ground vehicle platforms. You will design and standardize CI/CD automation for hardware- and software-in-the-loop environments, drive cultural transformation toward agile and DevOps-based engineering models, and mentor teams as they modernize their development lifecycle. The position offers the opportunity to shape technical architectures, integrate AI-assisted development tools, and directly influence software delivery efficiency, quality, and scalability for next-generation ground vehicle programs.

Responsibilities

• Design and standardize CI/CD pipeline automation patterns tailored for embedded systems, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing.
• Establish scalable DevOps architectures that support complex embedded software programs and align automation pipelines with program constraints and requirements.
• Enable and coach engineering teams to implement, customize, and maintain CI/CD pipelines that support multi-disciplinary development workflows.
• Mentor embedded software and systems engineering teams to adopt modern software development practices, including agile, DevOps, and continuous delivery principles.
• Act as a technical escalation point for troubleshooting CI/CD pipeline issues, including debugging infrastructure, resolving automation failures, and optimizing build and test processes.
• Maintain, enhance, and secure automation systems, including containerized environments, infrastructure-as-code configurations, and deployment workflows.
• Drive cultural transformation from legacy, document-heavy workflows toward agile, DevOps-based engineering models focused on automation, feedback, and continuous improvement.
• Evaluate, pilot, and integrate AI capabilities such as AI-assisted code review, automated debugging, and intelligent test selection into development workflows.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, reference architectures, and best-practice guides for DevOps tooling, pipelines, and infrastructure.
• Create and deliver training materials, workshops, and knowledge-sharing sessions to support long-term scalability and consistent adoption of DevOps practices.
• Collaborate closely with software, systems, and hardware teams to ensure DevOps solutions meet the needs of embedded ground vehicle platforms.
• Support compliance and safety-critical requirements by aligning pipelines and processes with relevant frameworks and standards.
• Continuously assess and improve pipeline performance, reliability, and security, including container security and infrastructure hardening.

Essential Skills

• Strong understanding of embedded systems architecture and communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, and Ethernet.
• Hands-on embedded software development experience using languages such as C and C++.
• Proven experience designing, building, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, with GitLab preferred.
• Experience working with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing environments.
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform and Ansible.
• Strong Linux experience combined with scripting skills in Python and Bash.
• Experience with containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, including container security considerations.
• Demonstrated ability to influence teams and lead technical transformation initiatives in complex engineering environments.
• Experience building and maintaining automated pipelines in complex, multi-disciplinary engineering environments, particularly those involving embedded systems.
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks for safety-critical systems, including automotive or defense contexts.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate DevOps concepts for traditional engineering teams.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• At least 3 years of experience in embedded systems combined with DevOps or release engineering responsibilities.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience with ROS and AUTOSAR or similar automotive middleware and frameworks.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools such as Copilot and large language model (LLM) workflows.
• Experience in defense or Army programs, particularly involving ground vehicle systems.
• Knowledge of safety-critical standards in automotive or defense domains, including frameworks such a
