We are always looking for amazing talent who can contribute to our growth and deliver results! Geotab is seeking an Integration Hardware Developer who will act as our Hardware Subject Matter Expert, supporting new assets — such as Refrigeration Control Units, Tachographs, Thermographs, and other third-party devices and sensors — as they connect to Geotab's devices. If you love technology, and are keen to join an industry leader — we would love to hear from you!
As an Integration Hardware Developer your key area of responsibility will be building in-house proofs of concept, defining requirements for our Hardware, Firmware, and Mechanical engineering teams, and leading pilot installations for new integrations. You will design and prototype harnesses, enclosures, and toolings, assemble and test units, and adapt and test products to work with new vehicle and equipment platforms. You will need to work closely with Geotab's Hardware, Firmware, and Mechanical engineering teams, as well as external OEMs and third-party device manufacturers, to reverse engineer electrical, hardware, and communications systems and protocols.
To be successful in this role you will be a hands-on problem solver with an entrepreneurial mindset who is comfortable diagnosing vehicle and equipment problems using conventional tools such as probing connectors, building harnesses, and testing circuits. In addition, the successful candidate will have strong analytical skills, excellent English verbal and written communication, and the ability to document field data collection methods and investigate device behavior issues independently. Scripting or programming knowledge and PCB or harness design experience are strong assets.
