About The Position

As a CI and Automation Engineer leading our Release efforts, you will bridge the gap between pure DevOps/Automation and the final delivery of our AI software stack. You won't just be building pipelines; you will be the technical owner of the release cycle, architecting the automation and branching strategies that ensure our firmware and software are production-ready.

You will act as the Technical Gatekeeper, using your deep-dive coding skills in Python and Bash to build the "infrastructure of trust" that powers our releases. This role is for a hands-on engineer who wants the strategic responsibility of making the "Go/No-Go" call based on the very automation they have built. If you are passionate about CI/CD excellence and want to see your code directly impact the delivery of world-class AI hardware, this is the role for you.

Responsibilities:

• Release Ownership: Lead the technical execution of release cycles, acting as the primary authority and "Gatekeeper" for software and firmware delivery.
• CI/CD Engineering: Design, implement, and maintain robust CI pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, Bitbucket) tailored for release stability and automated validation.
• Hands-on Automation: Develop and maintain tools and scripts (Python, Bash) to automate the entire release flow—from versioning and branching to automated reporting.
• Technical Triage: Deep-dive into build failures and integration issues. Analyze logs and code changes to make data-driven "Go/No-Go" decisions.
• Branching Strategy: Define and manage complex Git strategies to ensure smooth integration across multiple versions and hardware targets.
• Visibility & Reporting: Provide real-time visibility into release health and quality metrics through dashboards and automated status reports.
  
  

Requirements:

• B.Sc./M.Sc. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field from top Universities (GPA above 85 preferred).
• 3+ years of experience in CI/Automation or Release Management roles, preferably in embedded or semiconductor environments.
• Strong Programming Skills: Proficiency in Python and Bash is mandatory. You must be comfortable writing and auditing code for automation frameworks.
• Linux Expertise: Solid experience with Linux-based development, cross-compilation, and software-hardware integration.
• CI/CD Mastery: Extensive hands-on experience with Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar platforms, including pipeline-as-code.
• Git Expert: Deep understanding of version control, submodules, and complex merging/branching workflows.
• Soft Skills: Hard-working, committed, self-reliant, and a team player with fluent English.
  
  

Advantages:

• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Knowledge of Yocto or CMake build systems.
• Familiarity with Artifactory or other binary management tools.
• Knowledge of Open-source software and community best practices.
