We're looking for a hands-on Fleet Operations Engineer with a DevOps mindset to support the configuration, deployment, and upkeep of systems installed on specialized vehicles. This role focuses on preparing trucks for demos, customer delivery, and operational use-particularly within air-gapped or closed-network environments where typical cloud deployment pipelines don't apply.

What You'll Do

• Configure, install, and prepare onboard systems for demonstrations and customer delivery.
• Standardize and streamline update processes for vehicles, reducing the time demand on other engineering teams.
• Build and maintain repeatable deployment workflows for closed or air-gapped networks.
• Support release activities and ensure vehicles can be updated consistently and efficiently.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to understand system behaviors and translate requirements into repeatable operational steps.
• Travel occasionally to customer sites to assist with on-vehicle configuration, updates, or troubleshooting.

Tools & Technologies

• Git or similar version control
• Docker
• Ansible
• VPN technologies
• Linux environments
• Familiarity with Python, JavaScript, or C (no coding required, but helpful for understanding system behavior)

What You Bring

• Experience with DevOps practices, system configuration, or infrastructure automation.
• Comfortable working in restricted, offline, or air-gapped environments.
• Ability to grasp code concepts without needing to write production code.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to bring structure to evolving processes.
• Willingness to travel as needed.

Nice to Have

• Experience in the following industries is beneficial but not required: Aerospace, Automative, Defense
