Job Summary
Our exploration rover breadboarding and telecoms satellite infrastructure is using increasingly IM unsupported tools and services (be that older systems newer systems OS/software that IT simply dont support etc.) raising a need to manage more and more of this internal to the site/project/department where we either want to be on more recent tooling (breadboarding) or maintain older tooling for spacecraft projects whose lifespan is in the tens of years and is expected to remain fixed.
- The role is to support this infrastructure in both the GNC and software teams as the projects require this will involve responsibility for maintaining/extending but may in the case of older systems require learning/understanding the current infrastructure before making substantial adjustments/redeployments.
- Our current implementation on breadboarding relies on Ansible executing against a variety of different hosts performing operations from install/update/upgrade packages thru host environment configuration thru checkout and build internal projects from source for deployment on host or in containers.
- Expect to be working with a range of hosts on breadboarding (industrial PCs workstation PCs VMs) that need as much commonality but each have their own quirks (i.e. not all the industrial PCs can be expected to have consistent network access and will travel out into the field with the rover). The telecoms side is far more consistent with tens of VMs that need to and can be maintained as identical environments.
