How much do j1939 jobs pay per year?
What is a J1939?
A J1939 job typically involves working with the SAE J1939 protocol, which is used for communication and diagnostics in heavy-duty vehicles and industrial applications. Professionals in this field may develop, test, or troubleshoot J1939 networks, including working with CAN (Controller Area Network) bus systems. Roles can include software development, embedded systems engineering, or vehicle network analysis. Understanding J1939 message structure, parameter groups, and diagnostic troubleshooting is often required.
What does a J1939 engineer or specialist do?
As a J1939 Engineer or Specialist, your daily tasks often involve configuring, testing, and troubleshooting communication protocols in vehicle or equipment networks that use the J1939 standard. You will analyze CAN bus data, develop or modify diagnostic tools, support product development teams, and ensure that electronic control units (ECUs) interact seamlessly. Collaboration with software developers, hardware engineers, and quality assurance teams is common, especially during development or validation phases. You may also participate in field tests, generate technical documentation, and keep up with evolving industry standards. This dynamic role offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of vehicle electronics technology in both lab and real-world environments.
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the J1939 position?
To excel in a J1939 Engineer or Specialist role, you'll need a deep understanding of Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols, particularly SAE J1939, along with a background in electrical or automotive engineering. Familiarity with diagnostic tools such as CAN analyzers, protocol stacks, and relevant software like Vector CANoe or ETAS INCA, as well as proficiency in programming languages (e.g., C/C++), is vital. Strong problem-solving, project management, and communication skills help in collaborating across multidisciplinary teams and addressing complex vehicular networking issues. These competencies are crucial for ensuring reliable vehicle system integration, compliance with industry standards, and effective troubleshooting within automotive or heavy equipment environments.

Job DescriptionÂ
We are seeking a Device Product Manager to own the end-to-end Vehicle Data product roadmap - from on-device CAN data capture through the Vehicle Data Service that powers downstream solutions across the organization. This includes CAN-based feature development, OEM integration, vehicle ADAS features, and safety alert contextualization capabilities. Vehicle data from the device serves as a foundational data layer consumed by multiple internal product teams (safety, analytics, compliance, coaching), making cross-PM collaboration central to this role. The ideal candidate brings a platform mindset and can operate across the full device-to-cloud data pipeline, working hand-in-hand with CAN engineering and data engineering teams to ensure data accuracy, coverage, and reliability from source to service.Â
Hybrid Work Schedule
We believe in the value of in-person collaboration while maintaining flexibility. Team members work from the office on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with remote work on Tuesday and Friday.
Key ResponsibilitiesÂ
- Own the vehicle data roadmap end-to-end - on-device CAN/J1939/OBD-II data capture, decoding, and normalization through to the VDS - ensuring data is delivered in a scalable, extensible format.Â
- Drive the VDS roadmap, including ADAS feature integration and the alert decoration framework that enriches safety events with contextual vehicle telemetry.Â
- Partner with internal PM stakeholders across safety, analytics, compliance, and coaching to understand their data and enrichment needs and ensure the vehicle data platform enables their solutions.Â
- Define and execute OEM integration strategy, expanding vehicle data coverage through partnerships with truck and vehicle OEMs and support for proprietary data protocols.Â
- Establish and maintain the vehicle data contract - schema, supported parameters, ADAS event types, decoration logic, and delivery mechanisms - so consuming teams have a reliable, well-documented interface.Â
- Translate requirements into actionable PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria, balancing priorities across internal teams, OEM partners, and customers.Â
- Collaborate with hardware, embedded software, and CAN engineering teams to align vehicle data features with device capabilities, service architecture, and release timelines.Â
- Conduct competitive analysis on vehicle data and telematics offerings to inform differentiation and roadmap priorities.Â
- Monitor KPIs across vehicle data coverage, decode accuracy, ADAS event capture, alert decoration completeness, and internal platform adoption.Â
QualificationsÂ
- Bachelor's degree required; engineering, computer science, or related technical field preferred.Â
- 5+ years of industry experience with at least 3 years in product management in a technology or automotive/fleet environment.Â
- Demonstrated experience with vehicle data systems, including CAN bus protocols (J1939, OBD-II/J1979) or vehicle telemetry.Â
- Experience with ADAS systems or OEM safety platform integration is highly desirable.Â
- Experience in a platform-oriented PM role where internal teams are key consumers is a plus.Â
- Familiarity with Agile methodologies and tools (JIRA, Confluence).Â
Skills & KnowledgeÂ
- Strong understanding of vehicle communication protocols (CAN, J1939, OBD-II) and data decoding/normalization.Â
- Knowledge of ADAS technologies and how safety systems surface events via CAN or proprietary interfaces.Â
- Ability to work closely with specialized engineering teams (CAN engineering, data engineering) to define technical requirements, validate data quality, and drive issue resolution.Â
- Platform thinking - ability to design extensible data products and interfaces that serve multiple consuming teams.Â
- Strong stakeholder management across internal PM teams and external partners.Â
