We bring together engineers, creators, and innovators who push the boundaries of what’s possible - from cutting-edge FPV systems to advanced Remote Reality solutions, and toward the next generation of robotics. And behind every great technology, there’s great organization.\nWe're looking for an Embedded DevOps & Operations Lead to establish and lead a new organization-wide engineering function supporting every embedded platform at Orqa. \nThis is a unique opportunity to build a new engineering function and shape how embedded products are developed, tested, and delivered across the entire organization. Working closely with software, hardware, systems, cybersecurity, quality, and engineering teams, you'll define the infrastructure, automation, and engineering standards that enable developers to move from code to validated, production-ready releases faster, more securely, and at scale.\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\nEstablish and lead Orqa's Embedded DevOps & Operations function, defining engineering standards, infrastructure, and ways of working across embedded platforms\n\nDesign and standardize CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and release processes for embedded firmware, RTOS, and embedded Linux platforms\n\nDevelop and scale Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) infrastructure to support automated testing and validation\n\nDrive infrastructure-as-code, developer self-service, and engineering productivity initiatives\n\nEstablish secure build, release, and software supply chain practices, integrating DevSecOps throughout the embedded development lifecycle\n\nPartner with software, hardware, systems, cybersecurity, quality, and platform teams to drive cross-platform collaboration, define shared engineering standards, and continuously improve development workflows\n\nBuild, mentor, and develop a high-performing Embedded DevOps & Operations team while promoting knowledge sharing and engineering best practices\n\nContinuously improve the scalability, security, and efficiency of Orqa's embedded development and release processes\n\nWHAT WE EXPECT\nExtensive experience leading Embedded DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Build & Release initiatives within embedded or cyber-physical environments\n\nStrong background in embedded software development, DevOps, CI/CD, release engineering, and engineering automation\n\nHands-on experience with embedded toolchains, cross-compilation, and modern build frameworks\n\nExperience integrating CI/CD pipelines with physical hardware, HIL/SIL environments, laboratory automation, and embedded testing infrastructure\n\nExperience integrating security-focused testing into embedded development workflows\n\nExperience leading cross-functional engineering initiatives and mentoring technical teams\n\nAbility to connect engineering tools, workflows, and product lifecycle systems into scalable engineering processes\n\nStrong communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills\n\nNICE TO HAVE\nExperience with technologies such as Yocto, Buildroot, Zephyr, FreeRTOS, CMake, Bazel, Conan, or similar embedded platforms and build frameworks\n\nFamiliarity with secure software supply chain practices and frameworks such as NIST SP 800-218 (SSDF)\n\nExperience working on regulated or security-critical products, including compliance, audits, or formal security assurance\n\nWHY YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE\nOur office is a drone testing playground, and every day starts with an idea no one has tried before. We move fast, learn constantly, and foster a culture of innovation. With flexible working hours, real hands-on testing, and a team that challenges the limits of technology, working at Orqa means working on the edge of what’s possible.\nAnd that's just the beginning - here are a few more reasons why you'll love working at Orqa:\nPerformance-based bonuses\n\nMeal and transportation compensation\n\nKindergarten expenses coverage and newborn bonus\n\nInternal workshops & lectures\n\nCareer development & growth opportunities within a fast-scaling tech environment\n\nExtra vacation days\n\nOn-site massages - our professional masseur regularly visits the office to help you recharge\n\nPassSport Card - access to gyms and wellness centers\n\nComprehensive annual health check-up\n\nEngaging internal events & team-building activities\n\nIf you're passionate about building the engineering infrastructure that enables world-class embedded products and want to shape how development teams build, test, and release technology at scale - we'd love to hear from you.\nWe're proud to be an equal-opportunity employer and are committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful, and supportive workplace.
