Senior Embedded Controls Engineer information

What is the difference between Senior Embedded Controls Engineer vs Embedded Software Engineer?

AspectSenior Embedded Controls EngineerEmbedded Software Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's/Master's in Electrical, Mechanical, or Computer Engineering; experience in controls systemsBachelor's/Master's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field
Work EnvironmentDesigning and testing embedded control systems in industrial, automotive, or robotics sectorsDeveloping software for embedded devices across various industries
Industry UsageAutomotive, manufacturing, robotics, aerospaceConsumer electronics, IoT devices, automotive, industrial automation

The Senior Embedded Controls Engineer focuses on designing and implementing control algorithms for embedded systems, often requiring knowledge of hardware integration and control theory. In contrast, Embedded Software Engineers primarily develop software for embedded devices, emphasizing coding, debugging, and software architecture. Both roles require embedded systems knowledge but differ in their core responsibilities and industry applications.

Job description

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, writing, and testing firmware for next-generation battery-powered IoT devices that are redefining how fleets track and manage their assets. Working on the GOAnywhere product line - one of Geotab's most strategically significant platforms - you will bring deep embedded expertise, a hands-on builder's mindset, and the intellectual curiosity to solve problems others haven't encountered before. If you love low-level firmware development and are keen to join an industry leader shaping the future of connected transportation - we would love to hear from you!

What you'll do:

As a Senior Embedded Developer, your key area of responsibility will be developing, testing, and maintaining C-based firmware for Geotab's GOAnywhere asset tracking devices - battery-powered IoT hardware deployed on tractor-trailers and other commercial assets. You will own firmware development end-to-end: from architectural input and implementation to unit testing, integration testing in real and simulated environments, and commercial deployment. Your day-to-day will include sprint-based development tracked in Jira, daily standups with a team of 6-8 developers, and hands-on debugging using hardware lab setups. You will contribute to code reviews, maintain technical documentation, and actively leverage AI tools to accelerate your development workflow.

You will work closely with the Hardware team on electronics-level decisions and debugging, the Gateway team to ensure seamless device-to-cloud connectivity, the Test Automation team to build reliable CI/CD pipelines for firmware releases, and product stakeholders to ensure new features meet design requirements. You will also have the opportunity to mentor interns and junior engineers on the team. To be successful in this role you will be a self-motivated engineer who thrives with ownership and minimal hand-holding, brings a breadth of embedded experience across diverse domains, and approaches problems with practical curiosity rather than narrow specialization. A background in consulting, small-company environments, or non-automotive embedded fields is a distinct advantage.

How you'll make an impact:

  • Develop an in-depth understanding of Geotab IoT device firmware (GOAnywhere, extensible product, asset trackers) and how various modules work.

  • Perform firmware development, including architectural input, in the required area of expertise (modem, GPS, vehicle data, security, etc.) using C and other standards required by the RTOS and per 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 that industry coding standards are followed.

  • Debug firmware issues and identify areas for code improvements.

  • Maintain up-to-date documentation for all areas of responsibility.

  • Contribute to the design and testing of embedded hardware as required.

  • Maintain and improve testing tools and processes, ensuring that new releases perform as expected.

What you'll bring to the role:
  • Diploma or degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field; an equivalent combination of education and practical experience will be considered.

  • 5+ years of hands-on embedded firmware development experience, with a demonstrated track record of end-to-end ownership from requirements to production deployment.

  • Proficiency in C and strong familiarity with RTOS environments; experience with Zephyr is strongly preferred, FreeRTOS is also valued.

  • Solid understanding of microcontroller design, firmware build chains, CI/CD methods, and data structures and design patterns common to resource-constrained embedded systems.

  • Ability to read schematics and component data sheets; understanding of underlying electronics sufficient to influence firmware development and debugging decisions.

  • Experience across a breadth of embedded domains - consulting, small companies, or industries such as medical devices, industrial IoT, defense electronics, consumer hardware, or wearables - is strongly preferred over a narrow automotive-only background.

  • Experience with low-power firmware design is a meaningful asset.

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.
