At Ambiq, we build ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions that enable intelligence on battery-powered edge devices.

This is not a generic cloud DevOps role.

This is a staff-level embedded CI / release infrastructure role supporting the SDKs behind our current and next-generation MCU/SoC products. You’d be a key part of helping our software teams ship high-quality releases as our product line continues to grow.

You’d help own and scale

  • Jenkins build and release infrastructure
  • SDK release candidate validation, packaging, build, and test
  • Nightly and periodic regression automation
  • Lab hardware used in CI
  • FPGA pre-silicon and post-silicon automation flows
  • Debug across hardware, software, and build systems
  • Cross-team tooling and environment support

This is the kind of role for someone who has worked at the hardware/software boundary and knows what it takes to keep embedded release infrastructure reliable in the real world

  • Strong fit if you bring:
  • 8+ years in DevOps / Platform / Release / SQA / embedded infrastructure
  • Recent staff, principal, or lead-level scope
  • Deep Jenkins experience at scale
  • Embedded / firmware / SDK / SoC / MCU experience
  • Strong C and Python
  • Linux + Windows toolchain experience
  • Bonus points for FPGA, HIL, post-silicon, or lab automation background

Why this role is interesting: You’re not just keeping pipelines green. You’re helping engineering teams ship SDK releases that matter, across real silicon, real hardware, and expanding product families.

Important: Must be authorized to work in the U.S. for any employer. We do not sponsor or transfer visas now or in the future.
