• Develop Infrastructure-as-Code and Configuration-as-Code solutions using tools such as Ansible and Terraform to provision and standardize Linux and Windows environments.
• Integrate security scanning capabilities, including SAST, DAST, SCA, STIG, and ACAS checks, into CI/CD pipelines and collaborate with developers to remediate identified findings.
• Support test automation initiatives and integrate automated testing into the build and release process to improve reliability and quality.
• Package software releases and support engineering change requests, deficiency reports, and Configuration Control Board (CCB) activities.
• Support the delivery and deployment of new software capabilities to classified UEWR and PARCS operational sites.
• Modernize legacy build and deployment processes for large system-of-systems radar architectures, improving efficiency, consistency, and security.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including developers, testers, security, and operations, to ensure cohesive and secure software delivery.
• Document CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure configurations, and operational procedures to support maintainability and knowledge sharing.
