Key Responsibilities

• CI/CD Pipeline Development
• Architect and maintain scalable pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Qualcomm’s internal build frameworks.
• Automate build, test, and deployment processes for multi-target environments (DSP, HLOS, Automotive, IoT).
• Build Infrastructure Management
• Manage containerized build environments (Docker/Nebula) and troubleshoot build failures.
• Implement caching strategies and artifact management for faster builds.
• Release Gating
• Enforce build verification and gating for DSP and HLOS tips before merges.
• Integrate automated regression and sanity tests into pipelines.
• Collaboration
• Work closely with development teams to streamline workflows and resolve integration issues.
• Support cross-functional teams for debugging build and deployment failures.
• Monitoring & Reporting
• Develop dashboards and alerts for build health and performance metrics.
• Provide detailed reports for CI stability and release readiness.
• Failure Analysis & Resolution
• Triage test failures and build failures across CI/CD pipelines.
• Perform root cause analysis for integration issues, build breaks, and test regressions.
• Collaborate with development teams to fix failures or provide actionable recommendations.
• Maintain a failure tracking system and ensure timely resolution to keep CI pipelines green.
• Implement preventive measures (e.g., automated checks, pre-merge validations) to reduce recurrence.

Required Skills

• Strong experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
• Proficiency in Python, Shell scripting, and automation frameworks.
• Expertise in Docker, container orchestration, and cloud-based build systems.
• Familiarity with Yocto, Linux build systems, and embedded workflows.
• Knowledge of Git branching strategies, PR workflows, and release tagging.
• Experience with artifact repositories (Artifactory) and build caching techniques.
• Solid understanding of C programming for build and integration tasks.
• Basic knowledge of device drivers and kernel-level build processes.
• Exposure to AI/ML workflows for integrating AI components into CI pipelines.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in CI/CD, build automation, or DevOps roles.
• Exposure to Qualcomm-specific tools (Nebula workflow, QSWAT) and embedded development.
• Understanding of ARM architecture, DSP subsystems, and cross-compilation toolchains.
• Familiarity with AI frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and their build integration.
