Who you are:

We are always looking for amazing talent who can contribute to our growth and deliver results! Geotab is seeking a Senior Embedded Developer who will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing firmware for our IoT telematics devices — hardware that powers over 6 million subscriptions globally. If you love low-level systems programming, embedded firmware architecture, and building software that runs in connected vehicles around the world, and are keen to join an industry leader — we would love to hear from you!

What you'll do:

As a Senior Embedded Developer, your key area of responsibility will be firmware development for Geotab's IoT device portfolio, including GOAnywhere, extensible products, and asset trackers. You will design, write, and test embedded firmware in C and C++, contributing to both application-layer development and low-level driver work — with a particular focus on Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol driver development. You will be responsible for performing firmware development with architectural input in areas such as modem, GPS, vehicle data, and security; writing unit tests; and conducting integration and system-level testing in both real and simulated vehicles. You will conduct comprehensive code reviews to ensure industry coding standards are followed, debug firmware issues, identify areas for code improvement, and maintain up-to-date documentation for all areas of responsibility.

To be successful in this role, you will be a collaborative, detail-oriented engineer with deep expertise in embedded systems and a passion for building reliable, high-impact software. In addition, the successful candidate will have strong verbal and written communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with embedded developers, hardware engineers, and internal technical teams to define system architecture and constraints.

How you'll make an impact:

Develop an in-depth understanding of Geotab IoT devices (such as GOAnywhere, extensible product, and asset trackers) and how various firmware modules work
Perform firmware development, including architectural input, in required areas of expertise (modem, GPS, vehicle data, security) using C and other standards required by the RTOS, in accordance with Geotab's development standards
Write unit tests and perform integration and system-level testing in both real and simulated vehicles to demonstrate that new features meet design requirements
Conduct comprehensive testing and code reviews to ensure industry coding standards are followed
Debug firmware issues and identify areas for code improvement
Keep up-to-date documentation for all areas of responsibility

What you'll bring to the role:

Diploma or degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience)
5+ years of experience in embedded firmware and hardware (systems) development
Proficiency in embedded C and C++, with hands-on experience in Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol driver development — ideally from working with vehicle manufacturers, Tier 1 automotive suppliers, or telematics companies
Experience with embedded RTOS, microcontroller design, firmware build chains, and CI/CD practices for embedded products
Familiarity with wireless products including cellular and Bluetooth, and experience with modem and GPS firmware modules
Ability to read schematics and data sheets for electronic components, with understanding of underlying electronics sufficient to influence firmware development and debugging
Strong verbal and written communication skills; ability to document complex technical systems and decisions clearly

If you got this far, we hope you're feeling excited about this role! Even if you don't feel you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
