DevOps Engineer to builds and owns the Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) and test-automation infrastructure for our embedded motor-control products. You'll partner with firmware and hardware engineers to turn a largely manual build-and-test process into fast, repeatable, automated pipelines — from commit to validated firmware image.

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for embedded firmware (build, static analysis, unit test, integration test, artifact management, and release).

• Automate the build toolchain for cross-compiled embedded targets and keep builds reproducible across developer machines and CI runners.

• Stand up and maintain test-automation infrastructure, including unit testing, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test rigs where applicable.

• Integrate static analysis, code-quality, and coverage tooling into the pipeline and make results visible to the team.

• Manage artifact versioning, release packaging, and traceability from source to deployed firmware.

• Improve build and test speed, reliability, and developer feedback loops.

• Document the pipeline and test infrastructure so the team can use and extend it.

• Collaborate with firmware engineers to make code testable and to triage pipeline/test failures.

Your Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering or related engineering field, with 3+ years experince in Embedded Software Devlopment.

• Strong scripting skills (e.g., Python, Bash) and comfort automating build/test tooling.

• Experience with version control (Git) and branching/release workflows.

• Experience building CI/CD for embedded software, OR a background/working familiarity with embedded software development (cross-compilation, toolchains, flashing/debugging target hardware).

• Solid troubleshooting skills and the ability to work across the software/hardware boundary.

• Experience building CI/CD or test automation specifically for embedded/firmware projects with hardware-in-the-loop testing. - Preferred

• Familiarity with Texas Instruments C2000, Cortex-M85, and C29x DSP microcontrollers and the Code Composer Studio toolchain. - Preferred

• Familiarity with EtherCAT and EtherNet (or other industrial fieldbus/real-time communication). - Preferred

• Experience with containerization (Docker) and infrastructure-as-code. - Preferred

• Exposure to functional-safety or regulated-industry development processes and traceability. - Preferred

• Experience with static analysis and coverage tooling for C/C++. - Preferred
