Position Overview

CTS International is seeking highly motivated DevSecOps Software Engineers across a broad range of experience levels—Experienced, Senior, and Subject Matter Expert (SME) / Technical Lead Engineer (TLE)—to join an advanced software initiative involving CI/CD pipelines, AI tools, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing environments.

This position is based onsite in Cambridge, MA and will contribute to the development, automation, deployment, and verification of safety-critical software systems within a high-performance engineering environment.

Core Responsibilities

• Designs, develops, and completes test and verification of software products to ensure quality, reliability, and functionality.
• Partners with stakeholders to review and identify software requirements, define test objectives, and ensure testability throughout the CI/CD pipeline.
• Develops and maintains standardized processes, automated test scripts, and performance metrics to streamline the software engineering lifecycle.
• Sets up and configures integrated test environments—including hardware, software, and network components—to replicate real-world production environments.
• Executes test scenarios and reports results, identifying defects, vulnerabilities, and areas for improvement.
• Creates, documents, and maintains test plans, procedures, artifacts, and traceability documentation in compliance with data privacy and security protocols.
• Implements and maintains hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) automation systems for software and hardware integration testing within avionics platforms.
• Supports continuous improvement efforts to optimize software quality and development efficiency across multidisciplinary teams.

Senior / SME / Technical Lead (Level 4/5) Responsibilities

• Leads the development, documentation, and enforcement of DevSecOps best practices to enable rapid, reliable, and secure CI/CD workflows.
• Mentors junior engineers and contributes to achieving major technical milestones across cross-functional engineering groups.
• Drives collaboration between software and HIL teams to integrate AI-enhanced software solutions into hardware testing environments.
• Proficient in version control systems (e.g., Git, GitHub, GitLab) and CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, CircleCI).
• Experience with configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Puppet, Chef), containerization/orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), and artifact repositories (e.g., Nexus, Artifactory).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) is a plus but not required.
• Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks such as PyTest, Selenium, JUnit, or similar.
• Strong understanding of monitoring and logging tools such as Prometheus and the ELK stack.
• Willingness to use AI tools in CI/CD and test automation is required; familiarity with AI frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) is a plus.
• Excellent collaboration skills, effective communicator, and thrives in a fast-paced, agile development environment.

Basic Qualifications (Required Skill/Experience):

• Bachelor's degree and typically 3 or more years' experience in a software engineering classification or a Master's degree with 1 year of experience in a software engineering classification.
• Must be able to work onsite in Cambridge, MA

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• Education or experience in modern CI/CD techniques and/or use of AI Tools
• Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance if sponsored

Senior-Level (Level 4) Education/Experience:

Education/experience typically acquired through advanced technical education from an accredited course of study in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g. Bachelor) and typically 5 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience (e.g. PhD+1 years' related work experience, Master+3 years' related work experience).
