Contract DevOps Engineer – Embedded

12 month contract | Glasgow – 3 days onsite | Up to £80ph – Inside IR35

We’re recruiting for a senior DevOps Engineer to support a growing engineering team working on embedded software and connected hardware systems.

This is a hands-on role focused on CI/CD, build and release pipelines, tooling, and test infrastructure for embedded products. You’ll work closely with Software, QA and Hardware teams to improve and maintain a robust delivery environment.

This opportunity would suit someone with experience in embedded systems, electronics-led environments, hardware-connected software, or HIL / hardware-based test setups.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for supporting and improving the DevOps and tooling environment that underpins embedded software delivery.

Key responsibilities

• Own and improve the CI/CD environment for embedded software delivery
• Maintain and enhance GitHub Actions pipelines for build, test, release and deployment
• Support build, packaging, artifact management and release processes
• Help evolve tooling following a migration from Jenkins to GitHub
• Support deployment and testing across hardware rigs / Raspberry Pi-based environments
• Work closely with QA and engineering teams on test automation and build reliability
• Improve code quality, pipeline stability and release traceability
• Contribute to future improvements across cloud, virtualised or scalable infrastructure

What We’re Looking For

• Strong background in DevOps, Build & Release Engineering, or CI/CD
• Experience supporting embedded software, firmware, or electronics-based products
• Strong hands-on experience with GitHub Actions
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
• Good experience with build tooling, release tooling and artifact management
• Strong scripting / automation capability
• Experience working closely with Software Engineers and QA teams
• Understanding of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) or physical device-based test environments would be highly beneficial
• Exposure to AWS / cloud infrastructure would be advantageous

Tech Environment

• GitHub / GitHub Actions
• Embedded software / electronic devices
• Raspberry Pi test infrastructure
• Jenkins to GitHub migration
• Build, release and quality tooling
• Potential AWS / virtualised environments

 

This is a great opportunity to join a team where the DevOps capability is already established, but now needs a strong engineer to help support, improve and scale it as the wider engineering function grows.

If you have experience in DevOps for embedded systems, hardware-linked software environments, electronics products, or HIL testing infrastructure, we are keen to hear from you.
