About the Role

As an Infrastructure & Deployment DevOps Engineer , you will play a key role in designing the software systems that power our manufacturing and production environment . You will architect and maintain the deployment pipelines, infrastructure automation, and fleet management solutions for our internal production assets—including engineering workstations, automated test benches, and IIoT components . Your mission is to ensure that our production line is a high-performance, reproducible, and scalable environment that enables our R&D and manufacturing teams to move at lightning speed.

Responsibilities

Internal Fleet Management – Design and maintain systems to coordinate software updates and manage life-cycles across a diverse fleet of production workstations and industrial compute nodes .

Infrastructure Automation – Develop and maintain automated deployment solutions for test benches and IIoT devices using containerization tools (Docker, Docker Compose, Portainer).

Scalable CI/CD for Production – Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/GitLab CI) that support the rapid delivery of automation tools and inspection software to the factory floor.

Reproducible Environments – Utilize declarative build systems (e.g., Docker Bake, Ansible ) to ensure that every test bench and workstation in the facility is configured identically and can be recovered instantly.

Cross-Team Collaboration – Partner with R&D, Manufacturing, and Quality teams to deliver reliable, secure, and maintainable automation solutions for our internal operations.

Candidate Requirements

MSc in Software, Electrical, Computer Science , or a related engineering field.

3+ years of professional experience in a software engineering role with a heavy focus on infrastructure, DevOps, or industrial automation.

Expert Python Skills – Proficiency in scripting, automation, and building deployment tooling.

Containerization Mastery – Hands-on experience deploying software at scale using Docker and orchestration tools.

Fleet & Config Management – Experience with tools like Ansible for workstation configuration or IoT platforms (e.g., AWS IoT Greengrass) for managing distributed industrial assets.
