· Configure and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines for build, test, and deployment
· Improve build systems (e.g., CMake) and dependency management
· Write unit and integration tests; support automated testing workflows
· Collaborate closely with robotics, controls, and hardware engineers
· Participate in code reviews and help raise overall code quality
Requirements
Required Qualifications
· Strong proficiency in C++ (C++17 or newer)
· Experience with modern C++ concepts:
- RAII, smart pointers, move semantics
- Templates and generic programming
- Concurrency primitives and thread safety
- Clean API and library design
