DevOps Engineer – Flight Software

Los AngelesRemoteFull-time

AI Summary

A DevOps Engineer designs, implements, and maintains CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure to support flight software development, testing, and automated regression testing across cloud and hardware testbeds.

About this role

We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to support the development, integration, and deployment of flight software systems. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, infrastructure, and testing, with a strong emphasis on designing and managing Gitlab CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated Flight Test on various Cloud and HW testbeds including Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL).

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain scalable Gitlab CI/CD pipelines to support flight software build, test, and release workflows.
  • Develop and manage containerized environments using Docker to ensure consistency across development, simulation, and test systems.
  • Provision and manage cloud infrastructure on Amazon Web Services using Infrastructure as Code with Terraform.
  • Build and maintain automated pipelines for SIL and HIL testing, enabling continuous validation of flight software against simulated and real hardware interfaces.
  • Support Flight Test operations by developing reliable deployment, telemetry, and data collection workflows.
  • Integrate hardware test benches with CI/CD systems to enable automated regression testing and real-time feedback.
  • Optimize build systems for performance, reproducibility, and traceability across multiple flight software configurations.
  • Collaborate closely with flight software, avionics, and test engineers to streamline development and test cycles.
  • Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions for both cloud and on-premise test environments.

    • Required Qualifications

  • Strong experience with CI/CD systems, particularly GitLab pipelines.
  • Proficiency in containerization technologies such as Docker.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, etc.).
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools, especially Terraform.
  • Solid scripting skills (Python, Bash, or similar).
  • Experience supporting automated testing frameworks (PyTest, GoogleTest, etc.), ideally including SIL/HIL systems.
  • Familiarity with Linux-based development and deployment environments.

    • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working with embedded or flight software systems.
  • Familiarity with real-time systems and communication protocols (e.g., CAN, UART, Ethernet).
  • Experience integrating hardware test rigs into automated pipelines.
  • Understanding of flight test operations and data workflows.
  • Knowledge of simulation environments used in aerospace systems.
