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.
