Job Description
NO CLIENT NAME
As a Sr DevSecOps Engineer you will be responsible for;
· Define and own the DevSecOps architecture and roadmap for embedded capital equipment platforms, including CI/CD pipelines, build infrastructure, security automation, release evidence, and long-term maintainability.
· Develop and maintain secure embedded platform software, build infrastructure, and reusable automation capabilities.
· Create and support Yocto-based embedded Linux distributions, BSP software, device drivers, hypervisors, and platform-level OS components.
· Establish secure software supply chain practices, including SBOM generation, SOUP/OTS component tracking, license awareness, vulnerability monitoring, end-of-support tracking, and remediation workflows.
· Develop reusable CI/CD templates and pipeline controls for static analysis, software composition analysis, unit test automation, artifact signing, provenance tracking, cybersecurity evidence capture, and release readiness.
· Lead threat modeling and cybersecurity risk analysis for embedded platform components, including asset identification, attack surface analysis, exploitability assessment, security controls, and traceability to risk mitigations.
· Drive CVE intake, enrichment, asset mapping, triage, risk scoring, remediation planning, validation, and reporting in partnership with Product Security, SWQA, Systems, and program teams.
· Design and implement secure boot, firmware signing, cryptographic configuration, key/certificate lifecycle support, authenticated update mechanisms, and secure device communication patterns.
· Define runtime security monitoring requirements and support post-market cybersecurity monitoring and vulnerability response workflows.
· Review reported anomalies, assess cybersecurity impact, and support incident-response activities as needed.
· Support regulatory submissions and audits by ensuring cybersecurity, software lifecycle, and DevSecOps evidence is complete, traceable, reproducible, and aligned with internal quality system expectations.
· Define platform-level OS and BSP maintenance strategies, including Linux kernel support, Yocto release planning, driver update strategy, patchability, and security update governance across the product lifecycle.
· Collaborate with external vendors and internal partners to evaluate security tooling, embedded Linux support models, vulnerability intelligence, penetration testing outputs, and long-term maintenance approaches.
· Provide technical leadership and mentoring to software engineers, DevOps engineers, and platform teams on secure coding, build automation, vulnerability handling, and regulated software development practices.
· Partner with product teams to define platform capabilities that are reusable, secure, testable, and scalable across multiple capital equipment programs.
· Technologies & Tools
· AMD Zynq and Zynq UltraScale+ SoCs, NVIDIA ORIN, SafeRTOS, FreeRTOS
· Yocto-based embedded Linux package development
· Embedded hypervisors, Linux device drivers, BSPs, and boot flows
· Custom build systems and CI/CD pipelines
· Docker, Snyk, SonarQube, and software composition analysis tools
· Static analysis, software composition analysis, artifact signing, and vulnerability management tools
· Python, Bash, and Go
· Atlassian tools including Bitbucket, Jira, Bamboo, and Confluence
· GitHub and GitLab
· Networking security, secure boot, firmware signing, and secure update technologies
Qualifications;
· Strong experience in embedded Linux platform development for regulated, safety-critical, or high-reliability products.
· Hands-on experience with AMD/Xilinx SoC-based embedded systems, including AMD Zynq 7000 series, Zynq UltraScale+, Kria SOM, and the NVIDIA ORIN platform. Experience with real-time operating systems such as SafeRTOS and QNX Neutrino.
· Experience with Yocto, BSPs, OS layers, kernel configuration, boot flows, device drivers, and embedded platform security.
· Experience developing or governing DevSecOps practices in regulated medical device, safety-critical, aerospace, automotive, or industrial control environments.
· Strong understanding of FDA cybersecurity expectations, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, ISO 13485, SOUP/OTS software management, SBOM practices, and software lifecycle evidence generation.
· Experience implementing security automation in CI/CD pipelines, including SAST, SCA, container scanning, artifact signing, build reproducibility, traceability, and vulnerability reporting.
· Strong experience with threat modeling, vulnerability assessment, cybersecurity risk analysis, and secure-by-design architecture reviews.
· Experience with CVE triage methods that include exploitability, asset exposure, configuration applicability, runtime reachability, known exploited vulnerabilities, and remediation validation.
· Ability to collaborate across hardware, software, systems, product security, quality, regulatory, program management, and product management stakeholders.
· Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional engineering and leadership decisions without direct authority.
· Experience defining reusable platform practices across multiple products, programs, hardware variants, or software release branches.
· Strong debugging, problem-solving, and root-cause analysis skills.
· Strong technical communication skills with the ability to translate cybersecurity and DevSecOps risks into actionable engineering and leadership decisions.
