Release Engineer, Consumer Products
Designs and operates CI/CD pipelines and release infrastructure for multi-component systems including bootloaders, firmware, and OTA updates. Requires strong automation skills in Python/Bash, Linux expertise, and experience with build systems for embedded/consumer products.
About the job
In this role, you will:
- Design and operate CI/CD pipelines for multi-component builds (bootloader, firmware, OS images, backend, companion apps) using hermetic toolchains.
- Define versioning and branching strategies; automate promotions, changelogs, and artifact retention.
- Integrate unit, integration, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test results; quarantine flaky tests, auto-bisect failures, and block unsafe promotions.
- Build A/B OTA update flows with verity and health checks; run staged rollouts and canaries; implement safe rollback and roll-forward strategies.
- Implement code signing for binaries and firmware, generate SBOMs, run vulnerability scanning, and attach build attestations and provenance.
- Manage dashboards and alerts for build health, promotion latency, failure rates, and fleet update telemetry.
You might thrive in this role if you:
- Have experience building and operating build and release systems for consumer devices, robotics, mobile, or embedded products.
- Are proficient in scripting and automation languages such as Python or Bash.
- Have strong Linux user-space fundamentals.
- Have experience with GitHub Actions or Buildkite, artifact registries, and reproducible toolchains.
- Have experience managing vendor BSPs and toolchains.
- Have delivered secure OTA or image updates with staged rollouts at scale.
- Are familiar with key management and supply-chain hardening.
- Have a track record of metrics-driven improvement and continuous optimization.
