About the role

The team operates within an Agile culture, so strong communication and cross-functional collaboration are essential.
Define and enforce release branching strategies and gating criteria to ensure release quality and traceability
Author and version Dockerfiles and Compose configurations; publish images to an internal container registry with a documented tagging and lifecycle policy

In this role, you will own the systems, toolchains, and processes that enable firmware engineers to develop, build, and release cutting-edge embedded software at scale.
Firmware Build & Release Engineering
Design, implement, and maintain scalable firmware build systems for SSD products spanning multiple architectures
Partner with firmware engineers and project stakeholders to translate product milestones into structured build and release plans with well-defined go/no-go criteria
Manage complex branching topologies including feature branches, release trains, and long-lived maintenance branches across multiple product generations
Establish and maintain repository governance policies: branch protection rules, merge request templates, code ownership (CODEOWNERS), commit conventions, and access controls
Docker-Based Build Environment
Maintain and continuously improve Docker-based build environments that provide reproducible, hermetic firmware compilation across all supported toolchains, compilers, and target architectures
Collaborate with IT and platform teams to integrate containerized builds into CI/CD infrastructure
Identify bottlenecks and gaps in the existing developer toolchain and development lifecycle; propose and implement improvements that measurably reduce cycle time and toil

Experience supporting firmware or embedded software development in the storage industry (SSDs, enterprise storage, or similar)
Experience integrating hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or simulation-based testing into automated pipelines
Knowledge of firmware security practices - binary signing, secure boot, trusted execution - and how they intersect with release processes
Hands-on experience with artifact management platforms (JFrog Artifactory, Nexus, or equivalent)
Familiarity with Agile tooling (Jira, Confluence) and integrating workflow automation with project tracking systems
Scripting proficiency in Python and Bash for build automation and developer tooling

Author and version Dockerfiles and Compose configurations
publish images to an internal container registry with a documented tagging and lifecycle policy
Identify bottlenecks and gaps in the existing developer toolchain and development lifecycle
Deep hands-on expertise with Git internals - merge strategies, conflict resolution, history rewriting, and repository performance optimization
Excellent written and verbal communication skills - able to produce clear documentation and release notes for both engineering and non-technical audiences
A self-starting, ownership-oriented mindset with a history of driving improvements without waiting for direction
Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
7+ years of combined experience in the following areas:
