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
