We’re looking for a software enthusiast who loves to automate, streamline, and build smart solutions — especially in embedded software. In this role, you’ll play a key part in shaping and evolving our toolchain, focusing on innovation over maintenance, while collaborating with global teams in an agile environment to make a real impact.

Take ownership of the entire DevOps toolchain, ensuring it remains robust, modern, and aligned with evolving project requirements.
You’ll have the chance to grow your skills and explore diverse career paths within our global organization.
