  • Document and design methods to collect data from vehicles in a way that is digestible by Geotab's hardware and software teams
  • Support the global reverse engineering vision and process by contributing to the use, design and implementation of the software tooling
  • Use Cloud-based data warehouses (e.g. BigQuery and Google Cloud compute) for automated analysis of vehicle data and identify vehicle support gaps from our products
  • Assist in the product development cycle through proof of concepts and the execution of beta testing
What you'll bring to the role:
  • Pursuing a Degree/Diploma in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering or a related field.
  • CAN and CAN bus related experience is an asset
  • General code gurus with a knack for picking up new languages
  • Useful Languages: C#, Python, SQL, MATLAB
  • Other useful software experience: CANalyzer, Simulink
  • Multidisciplinary background
  • Good understanding of vehicle architectures, including hybrid/ electric vehicles
  • Hands-on vehicle experience is an asset (Can you diagnose a problem with your car?)
  • Self- starter
  • Results- oriented
  • Strong time management skills
  • Fantastic communication skills
  • Interest in new mobility technologies, telematics and vehicles
  • Experience or interest  in hybrid and electric vehicles and/or green technologies is an asset
