Job Description

As a DevOps Engineer at Robin Radar, you will build the systems that deliver our software directly onto radar hardware, combining managing our off-site/cloud infrastructure with bare metal on-prem installation knowledge.

You’ll focus on automating these deployments to make our production process faster and more consistent. By reducing manual steps, you’ll help us scale our output and ensure our radar systems are always running the most up-to-date, high-performance software.

You’ll be a core member of the DevOps team within our I&D department.

You’ll report to a Team Lead who provides technical guidance and helps remove blockers so you can focus on building reliable infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain our DevOps infrastructure used to test and deploy our software on our radar products in a structured, efficient and fully automated way.

  • Automate repetitive tasks to improve efficiency and reduce complexity and manual intervention in system operations.

  • Ensure systems are secure by enabling automated security checks and integrating security controls, tools and processes into the workflow.

  • Develop and perform tests to monitor system performance, troubleshoot issues, and ensure high availability and reliability of applications and services.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify automation opportunities and implement scalable solutions.

  • Analyze existing processes and recommend improvements to enhance performance, security and reduce operational bottlenecks.

  • Create and maintain technical documentation for infrastructure, processes, and tools.

Requirements

Technical Expertise:

  • BA/MSc degree in Computer Science, Engineering or relevant field.

  • Over 3 years of experience in DevOps or similar role.

  • Expert on Linux (Ubuntu) operating system.

  • Strong knowledge of CI/CD tools like Jenkins, Bitbucket and Jira.

  • Proficiency in:

    • Scripting languages (Python, Bash or similar);

    • Infrastructure-as-code tools (mainly Ansible, but also Terraform, Helm Argocd);

    • Monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki).

  • Hands-on experience with virtualization platforms (VMWare).

  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes

  • Expertise in containerizing high-performance native apps using Docker multi-stage builds to manage OS dependencies and deliver optimized, slim production images.

  • Strong understanding of IP networks and how to configure, monitor and secure them, as well as system administration.

Collaboration and Mindset:

  • Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking and excellent problem-solving skills.

  • Be proactive and implement improvements and be able to work in a fast paced environment.

  • A team player who can also work independently and with the ability to communicate well across cultures and backgrounds.

  • You are flexible and know how to tackle a fast-growing and changing company like Robin;

  • Good organizational and time management skills.

  • Good communication skills in English, and it would be great if you speak Dutch as well.

  • Live in The Netherlands, within commuting distance from The Hague.

About Robin Radar

Industry: Defense and Space Manufacturing

Company size: 51-200 employees

We’re Robin Radar Systems, and we have you covered. Robin is a Netherlands-based technology leader in bird and drone radar. Our mission is to provide actionable information that increases safety, for humans and wildlife alike. Our systems are built for accuracy, delivering 360° coverage and early warnings. They empower teams in aviation, ecology, defence and security with reliable updates and alerts of potential hazards. We do that by combining cutting-edge hardware with smart software. Our technologies may be ahead of the pack, but our people make us great. Looking for an innovative adventure that spans the globe? Join ours! https://www.robinradar.com/careers Bird Strike Prevention in Aviation Our bird radar systems monitor and store bird movements around the clock. With MAX, you get 3D, 360° awareness, 365 days a year. As well as bringing awareness to a whole new level, our radars provide key insights, like data trends and activity hotspots, to assess and strengthen strategies and KPIs. Bird Monitoring at Wind Farms Increasingly, permits to build wind farms are given under the pre-condition that bird movements are continuously monitored before, during and after construction. Our 3D avian radars simultaneously detect and log thousands of birds and bats, providing extensive reporting for your wind farm’s smooth development and operation. MAX can even detect the beginning of mass migrations and, if needed, trigger the temporary shutdown of single or groups of turbines. Protect wildlife, minimise downtime. Drone Detection in Critical Environments Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or ‘drones’ bring new opportunities, but also severe safety and security threats. We believe advanced detection is your first line of defence, so our systems are deployable, integrate seamlessly, and provide 360° coverage, even on the move. Our purpose-built drone detection radar, IRIS, can detect, track, and automatically distinguish birds from drones.
