About The Position

As a Software Deployment Engineer , you will own the deployment, reliability, and security of software running across embedded edge devices and supporting cloud systems. This is a hands-on role focused on CI/CD, provisioning, and secure containerized workflows for robotics systems.You will:
Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines supporting embedded and edge deployments.
Build reproducible, secure, and scalable fleet provisioning infrastructure.
Develop containerized deployment workflows optimized for resource-constrained edge environments.
Support board bring-up and system configuration on NVIDIA Jetson platforms.
Customize BSP and JetPack/L4T environments for production systems.
Implement secure deployment practices including secure boot, root of trust, and supply chain protections.
Collaborate with embedded, autonomy, and systems teams to ensure reliable hardware-software integration.
Maintain rigorous documentation and idempotent deployment processes.
Ensure systems can operate in constrained or intermittently connected environments.
This role requires building scalable processes from scratch in a fast-moving startup where execution, precision, and security are critical.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or embedded systems deployment roles.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• Deep expertise in Linux internals and system-level configuration.
• Hands-on experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms (board bring-up, BSP customization, JetPack/L4T).
• Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, etc.).
• Experience with configuration management tools (preferably Ansible).
• Strong containerization experience (Docker) in resource-constrained environments.
• Proficiency in Python and Bash scripting.
• Strong understanding of embedded cybersecurity principles (secure boot, kernel hardening, root of trust, supply chain security).
• Commitment to documentation, reproducibility, and automation best practices.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance.
• Ability to work onsite in Phoenix, AZ.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing.
