• Basic knowledge of a programming language such as Python to aid in automation is a plus.
• Experience with Jira and Confluence.
• Strong written and oral communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Define system architecture for ruggedized IoT devices integrating CAN/J1939, GNSS, IMU, cameras, and other automotive-grade sensors.
• Oversee embedded Linux and STM32 microcontroller firmware development, including device drivers, communication protocols, and OTA update strategy.
• Lead hardware design reviews, component selection, and qualification for automotive and heavy-duty environments (9-32V, IP-rated enclosures, etc.).
• Ensure security and compliance for edge-to-cloud data flows (VPN, TLS, SOC2 considerations).
• Manage and mentor a team of engineers across hardware, firmware, and test disciplines.
• Provide technical direction, performance coaching, and career development to build a high-performing, cross-functional team.
• Drive the full product lifecycle: requirements definition, design, prototyping, validation, and production release.
• Coordinate with cloud, field engineering, AI/vision, and product management teams to align device capabilities with business goals.
• Establish and enforce engineering best practices for documentation, code quality, and design for manufacturability.
• Serve as the primary technical interface for internal stakeholders, external vendors, and strategic partners.
• Present design trade-offs, risk assessments, and project status to executive leadership.
• Architect and design ECAD and MCAD solutions according to customers’ needs.
• Design multilayer PCBs with high-speed digital, analog, and RF components (e.g. LTE, GNSS, Ethernet, CAN, USB).
• Validate designs through schematic review, layout verification, and lab bring-up.
• Collaborate with mechanical and industrial product teams to ensure environmental robustness (IP67+, vibration, thermal).
• Design and support custom test fixtures for board-level and system-level validation.

Benefits

• Competitive salaries
• Advancement opportunities
• Paid vacation
• 401(k)
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
