About the role

  • We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to support the development, integration, and deployment of flight software systems.
  • This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, infrastructure, and testing, with a strong emphasis on designing and managing Gitlab CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated Flight Test on various Cloud and HW testbeds including Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL).

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain scalable Gitlab CI/CD pipelines to support flight software build, test, and release workflows.
  • Develop and manage containerized environments using Docker to ensure consistency across development, simulation, and test systems.
  • Provision and manage cloud infrastructure on Amazon Web Services using Infrastructure as Code with Terraform.
  • Build and maintain automated pipelines for SIL and HIL testing, enabling continuous validation of flight software against simulated and real hardware interfaces.
  • Support Flight Test operations by developing reliable deployment, telemetry, and data collection workflows.
  • Optimize build systems for performance, reproducibility, and traceability across multiple flight software configurations.
  • Collaborate closely with flight software, avionics, and test engineers to streamline development and test cycles.
  • Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions for both cloud and on-premise test environments.
  • Hermeus is a venture-backed defense aviation company reclaiming the lost art of rapid iterative prototyping to build the fastest aircraft in the world today.
  • By prioritizing relentless hardware iteration, we deliver high-speed systems at the pace of the modern battlefield.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 3+ years of experience in DevOps, software infrastructure, test automation, or platform engineering.
  • Hands-on experience with Docker and containerized development or test environments.
  • Experience provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure, preferably with AWS.
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform.
  • Strong scripting or programming experience in Python, Bash, or similar languages.
  • Ability to work closely with software, hardware, avionics, and test teams in a fast-paced engineering environment.
  • Experience with telemetry, data collection, deployment tooling, or operational support for flight test or field test environments.
