The DevOps Engineer will design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for flight software, manage containerized environments, and provision cloud infrastructure. Responsibilities include optimizing build systems and collaborating with engineers to enhance development and testing cycles.
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).
Key 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.
- Integrate hardware test benches with CI/CD systems to enable automated regression testing and real-time feedback.
- 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.
Required Qualifications
- Strong experience with CI/CD systems, particularly GitLab pipelines.
- Proficiency in containerization technologies such as Docker.
- Hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, etc.).
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools, especially Terraform.
- Solid scripting skills (Python, Bash, or similar).
- Experience supporting automated testing frameworks (PyTest, GoogleTest, etc.), ideally including SIL/HIL systems.
- Familiarity with Linux-based development and deployment environments.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working with embedded or flight software systems.
- Familiarity with real-time systems and communication protocols (e.g., CAN, UART, Ethernet).
- Experience integrating hardware test rigs into automated pipelines.
- Understanding of flight test operations and data workflows.
- Knowledge of simulation environments used in aerospace systems.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
