You'll work closely with software development, IT, and global engineering teams to build a highly reliable, secure, and repeatable CI/CD pipeline with automated quality gates‑ensuring the safe and efficient deployment of regulated medical device software.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the design, implementation, and evolution of CI/CD infrastructure for embedded medical device software
Serve as a senior technical lead within an agile development team
Build and support highly reliable, repeatable build and deployment pipelines with automated quality gates
Identify infrastructure needs and partner with IT to plan for current and future capacity
Install, configure, and maintain DevOps tools, reusable components, simulators, and test interfaces
Develop and maintain a comprehensive configuration management solution
Design, integrate, and test software across the deployment pipeline
Produce live dashboards and in-depth performance metrics for executive leadership
Drive data‑driven continuous improvement initiatives using pipeline and delivery metrics
Define and promote best practices for DevOps, CI/CD, and embedded software development
Mentor and provide technical direction to less‑experienced engineers
Collaborate effectively with global development teams, including overseas partners
Create and maintain clear, accurate technical documentation
Requirements
Senior‑level software engineering experience with strong DevOps and CI/CD ownership
Proven experience leading DevOps transformations in complex environments
Extensive expertise with Linux platforms and tooling (gcc, gdb, make, shell scripting, etc.)
Hands‑on experience installing, configuring, and maintaining:
Source control systems
Continuous integration tools
Configuration management systems
Strong experience with system and server administration, scripting, and automation
Experience with networking, security, databases, and cloud‑based systems

Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while leading by example
Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams and geographies
Nice to Have
Experience working in regulated industries (medical devices, aviation, financial services)
Knowledge of medical device quality systems and standards (FDA 21 CFR Part 820, ISO 13485, ISO 9001)
Experience with embedded software development in C/C++
Familiarity with cross‑compilation, custom toolchains, and management of open‑source (FOSS) components
Exposure to microprocessor and embedded systems innovations
Experience with cloud and hybrid (on‑prem + cloud) environments
What You'll Need to Succeed
A strong continuous improvement mindset grounded in lean and agile principles
Ability to translate technical requirements into scalable, reliable DevOps solutions
Strong problem‑solving skills with a proactive, solutions‑oriented approach
Confidence making architectural and tooling decisions that impact delivery at scale
