- Automate the build toolchain for cross-compiled embedded targets and keep builds reproducible across developer machines and CI runners.
- Stand up and maintain test-automation infrastructure, including unit testing, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test rigs where applicable.
- Integrate static analysis, code-quality, and coverage tooling into the pipeline and make results visible to the team.
- Manage artifact versioning, release packaging, and traceability from source to deployed firmware.
- Improve build and test speed, reliability, and developer feedback loops.
- Document the pipeline and test infrastructure so the team can use and extend it.
- Collaborate with firmware engineers to make code testable and to triage pipeline/test failures.
Your Qualifications

- Solid troubleshooting skills and the ability to work across the software/hardware boundary.
- Experience building CI/CD or test automation specifically for embedded/firmware projects with hardware-in-the-loop testing.- Preferred
- Familiarity with Texas Instruments C2000, Cortex-M85, and C29x DSP microcontrollers and the Code Composer Studio toolchain.- Preferred
- Familiarity with EtherCAT and EtherNet (or other industrial fieldbus/real-time communication).- Preferred
