Regular Responsibilities

Firmware Build & Release Engineering

• Design, implement, and maintain scalable firmware build systems for SSD products spanning multiple architectures
• Own the end-to-end firmware release pipeline — from code freeze through binary signing, packaging, versioning, and delivery to internal stakeholders and customers
• Define and enforce release branching strategies and gating criteria to ensure release quality and traceability
• Partner with firmware engineers and project stakeholders to translate product milestones into structured build and release plans with well-defined go/no-go criteria

Repository & Source Control Management

• Administer and optimize Git-based repositories across one or more hosting platforms (Git Hub, Git Lab, Bitbucket, or equivalent)
• Manage complex branching topologies including feature branches, release trains, and long-lived maintenance branches across multiple product generations
• Lead and execute complex Git merges and rebases — resolving deep conflicts involving low-level C/C++ firmware code, generated files, and toolchain configurations
• 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 tool chains, compilers, and target architectures
• Author and version Dockerfiles and Compose configurations; publish images to an internal container registry with a documented tagging and lifecycle policy
• Proactively upgrade and…
