Responsibilities
- Establish end-to-end CI/CD reference architecture for platform software across component, pillar, system-of-systems, and release-train flows.
- Define build, validation, integration, artifact-promotion, release-candidate, and VeSCoM publication criteria and workflows.
- Create tiered quality gates that protect the mainline and reject failing changes, invalid artifacts, incomplete evidence, and unsafe configurations.
- Architect embedded and vehicle-system integration checks across ECUs, MCUs, SoCs, containers, networks, diagnostics, calibration, and configuration.
- Govern GitHub Enterprise and GitHub Actions workflows, repository protections, runners, permissions, secrets, caching, concurrency, retries, and auditability.
- Lead migration and convergence from legacy CI/CD platforms while maintaining delivery continuity.
- Define pipeline health metrics, dashboards, reliability objectives, root-cause processes, and continuous-improvement priorities.
- Serve as the technical authority for software-defined vehicle CI/CD and quality-gating architecture, leading reviews and cross-functional decisions.
- Coach senior engineers and technical leaders and communicate technical risks and tradeoffs to engineering and executive audiences.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, software engineering, systems engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
