Requirements
• 10+ years of progressive experience in software, DevOps, or test engineering, with at least 3 years in an engineering management or team lead role • Proven experience leading and growing DevOps, test, platform, or infrastructure teams • Strong hands-on background in CI/CD, build systems, and test automation for embedded and/or cloud systems • Experience with embedded Linux build and deployment, ideally Yocto-based BSPs, or a strong equivalent • Experience architecting scalable test infrastructure spanning embedded hardware and cloud-side data pipelines • Experience delivering in a regulated industry (medical devices, aerospace, automotive, or similar), with working knowledge of IEC 62304 and ISO 14971 • Advanced Python and C/C++, with experience of infrastructure-as-code and at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure) • Experience with hardware-in-the-loop or software-in-the-loop test environments • Exposure to MLOps, including model drift validation, dataset governance, and automated performance evaluation and deployment of organisational AI strategy • Experience with cybersecurity requirements (e.g. IEC 81001-5-1, FDA cybersecurity guidance) and SOUP management • Experience managing complex build environments (CMake, Conan, Ceedling) or cloud-native infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CDK) • Familiarity with observability tooling such as Grafana and Prometheus
Responsibilities
• Manage and mentor a team of DevOps and test engineers, setting priorities, individual development plans, conducting performance reviews, and maintaining a high standard of engineering practice • Own the CI/CD strategy and build and release infrastructure across the software stack, including the multi-device test fleet, pipeline reliability, and artifact management • Own the Yocto-based embedded Linux platform build and deployment, including the signed software update mechanism with rollback, hardware compatibility checks, and image integrity and authenticity • Lead architecture reviews, perform proofs-of-concept for new infrastructure tools, and contribute directly to codebases where high-level technical hurdles require expert intervention. • Define and drive the software V&V and test automation strategy, building infrastructure for continuous validation and championing design for testability across the engineering stack • Establish compliance-as-code workflows that map verification evidence to IEC 62304 (Class C) and ISO 14971 risk controls, maintain the high-bar for engineering excellence in a regulated safety-critical environment and automate regulatory evidence generation to reduce time to submission • Own cloud-side data pipelines and infrastructure-as-code, supporting data ingest, analysis, and MLOps workflows where required • Coordinate cybersecurity workstreams, working closely with IT and QARA teams • Partner with the Software Engineering Manager on release processes, branching strategy, and automated quality gates • AI is fundamental to our culture — it's not just a tool, but a core part of how we work, collaborate, and innovate. We expect all team members to embrace AI in their daily work and continuously find new ways to use it effectively.
