• Maintaining and extending our Jenkins build and test system. Jobs are defined using Groovy and involve extensive scripting. A typical task might be creating new job types to support new product builds or test executions.

• Running cybersecurity vulnerability scans on ultrasound scanners using tools like Tenable Nessus and DoD STIGs.
• Upgrading developer tools such as CMake, Visual Studio, gtest, and Python. A typical task involves upgrading a tool, resolving any issues with the new version, rolling it out to build agents, and coordinating upgrades with developers.
• Developing small tools. For example, a previous project involved creating a web page in JavaScript to display crash dumps found during test execution.
• Investigating and prototyping new technologies and tools. This helps us evaluate their potential benefits for developers. A recent example is our exploration of SonarQube.

We’re looking for someone who can join us on-site 1–2 days per week, averaging 10–15 hours. Working hours are flexible, and we aim to assign non-urgent tasks so you can plan your work around your studies.
