Start: As soon as possible

Duration: Up to 3 months

As part of our engineering team, you will develop a realistic simulation of our IoT telematics ecosystem. The goal is to model the full lifecycle of a container shipment as faithfully as possible, covering both device behavior and the data they produce.
This means you will tackle two core challenges:

Device behavior simulation — modeling real-world connectivity patterns, including when and where devices can or cannot transmit data (e.g., signal loss in tunnels, ports, or remote areas)
Data simulation — generating realistic telemetry payloads from our hardware, including:
- Gateway data: GPS location, ambient temperature
- Sensor data: loading state, cargo temperature, door opening events, and more

The result will be a simulated fleet of containers moving goods from A to B, closely mirroring what our actual customer deployments look like in the field.

Design and implement a data simulator for our gateway and sensor devices
Model real-world logistics routes and connectivity conditions
Generate synthetic but realistic telemetry streams
Package and deploy your simulation using Docker and Kubernetes
Collaborate with our engineering team to align the simulation with real device specifications
