Requires proficiency in GitLab (pipelines, runners, package registry), scripting (Python, Bash), and systems languages (C/C++), along with experience in cross-compilation (GCC/Clang, Yocto, Buildroot), RTOS platforms (VxWorks, FreeRTOS, Zephyr), containerization (Docker/Podman), Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible), and software supply chain security (SAST/DAST/SCA tools, SBOMs, artifact signing). Designs and operates secure, automated CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI/CD for mission-critical embedded and flight software systems, enabling reproducible builds, integrated security controls, and compliant delivery in constrained and air-gapped environments.
