About the role

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.
