Job Description

The current focus is on proper configuration management for development releases. Automation of high-frequency software releases based on CI/CD and DevOps is not yet in the scope of this job position but may increase over time.

• You define the configuration management strategy based on existing processes and best practices to comply with ASPICE certification rules. This includes the definition of:
  o   Tools and repositories to be used
  o   Management of storage - scheduling, archiving, and backup
  o   Variant and branch management strategy
  o   Naming conventions for releases, work products, and versions
  o   Access control
  o   Baselining criteria for development releases and later on mass production releases
  o   Revision history management – requirements, software/test code and result documentation
      
  
• The strategy should cover the configuration management of work products of system and subsystems.
  
• Ensure traceability throughout the entire development tool chain is key, based on tools like Polarion, Enterprise Archtiect, Tessy, JIRA, GitLab, BitBucket, Jenkins.
  
• Support the Quality Manager and secure an ASPICE certifyable development flow.
  
• You actively document your strategy, processes and best practises in the document management system and continuously evangelise and train the teams on the existing rules and guidelines.
  
• You actively support and moderate the identification of required work products, their content and secure that infrastructure requirements can be realised.
  
• You work closely with the service administrators and advise them on innovations, adjustments to the concepts and strategies for an efficient system software development flow.
  
• You oversee the development area and foster improvements of baselining, traceability, storage and branch strategies in close collaboration with the development teams and track the implementation of the strategies created.
  
• At a later stage, you initiate improvements in the area of "toolchain" automation, for secure and more frequent SW releases, based on CI/CD practises.
