Embedded Developer

We are always looking for amazing talent who can contribute to our growth and deliver results! Geotab is seeking an Embedded Developer who will design, write, and test C, C++, and Rust code for Geotab’s GO telematics devices, ensuring new releases perform as expected through the maintenance and improvement of testing tools and processes. If you love technology, and are keen to join an industry leader — we would love to hear from you!

As an Embedded Developer your key area of responsibility will be performing firmware development in specialized areas, writing unit tests, conducting code reviews, and identifying areas for code improvement. You will need to work closely with other embedded systems developers, engineers, and internal technical teams to determine the architecture and constraints of the project. To be successful in this role you will be a highly organized team-player with strong communication skills who can work well under pressure and respond to fast-changing priorities. In addition, the successful candidate will have an entrepreneurial mindset, solid troubleshooting capabilities on embedded targets, and the ability to research and solve open-ended design problems within a flat organization.

• Develop an in-depth understanding of the GO device firmware and how all the modules work.

• Perform firmware development in the required area of expertise (modem, GPS, vehicle data, security, etc) using C, C++ and Rust as per the 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.

• Write SQL queries and Python scripts on data from Google BigQuery to determine device health and effectiveness of new functionality.

• Conduct comprehensive testing and code reviews to ensure that industry coding standards are followed.

• Debug firmware issues and identify areas for code improvements.

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

• 3-5 years of experience in embedded systems design with preemptive, multitasking real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Linux.

• Strong knowledge of programming languages (C/C++/C#) in an embedded software context, alongside familiarity with data structures, algorithms, and design patterns common to resource-constrained systems.

• Experience in hands-on development and troubleshooting on embedded targets, with an adequate knowledge of reading schematics and component data sheets.

• Experience working with SQL, encryption or cryptographic modules, and a solid understanding of underlying electronics affecting firmware development.

• Experience programming in Rust and proficiency with modern scripting languages like bash, Python, or TCL is highly valued.

• Post-secondary Diploma/Degree with a specialization in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

• Strong verbal and written communication skills, an entrepreneurial mindset, and the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously under pressure within a flat organization.
