- Automate build, test, and packaging workflows across C++, Python, MATLAB/Simulink, and model‑based toolchains.
- Operate containerized simulation environments using Docker and Kubernetes.
- Implement GitOps workflows for multi‑cluster consistency and reliability.
- Optimize developer velocity through caching, artifact reuse, and workflow simplification.
- Integrate observability into pipelines for traceability, metrics, and debugging.
- Collaborate with embedded, simulation, and controls teams to align delivery with model‑based development workflows.
- Support cloud‑based SIL execution for large‑scale parallel simulation.
Your Skills & Abilities (Qualifications)
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
- 7+ years of relevant experience in DevOps, CI/CD, automation, or software development.
- Hands‑on CI/CD experience with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab, or Azure DevOps.
- Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, PowerShell).
- Experience with containers and Kubernetes fundamentals.
- Familiarity with embedded or model‑based development (MATLAB/Simulink, code generation, vECUs).
- Understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Knowledge of deployment strategies and release automation.
What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)
- Experience with SIL/HIL pipelines and co‑simulation frameworks.
- Terraform or IaC expertise for multi‑environment provisioning.
- Knowledge of automotive data flows across vehicle, local, and cloud.
- Experience with progressive delivery (canary, blue‑green).
- Understanding of secure supply chain (SLSA, OPA, Sigstore).
- Familiarity with virtualization platforms used for vECUs and simulation.
