<p><span style="color: rgb(102, 120, 140); font-size: 12pt;">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 design, build, and maintain the embedded test automation framework that powers firmware quality across Geotab’s entire IoT device portfolio. If you love working at the intersection of embedded systems and hands-on hardware engineering, and are keen to join an industry leader — we would love to hear from you!</span></p>
<h1><span style="color: rgb(37, 71, 123);">What you'll do:</span></h1>
<p><span style="color: #66788c; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As a Senior Embedded Developer, your key area of responsibility will be building and evolving the test automation framework that enables firmware teams across Geotab — including GO firmware, IOX, asset tracker, and Go Focus — to automate device testing at scale. You will build embedded systems end-to-end—from reading schematics and wiring hardware to writing Python and C++ code, as well as deploying and monitoring software across our international offices.. You will also contribute to cloud integrations (GCP, BigQuery) and maintain thorough documentation across all areas of responsibility.<br></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #66788c; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">To be successful in this role you will be someone who is genuinely fascinated by how computer systems work at the hardware level — a natural tinkerer who is just as comfortable tracing a bug down to the wire level as they are writing clean, maintainable code. In addition, the successful candidate will bring deep object-oriented programming fundamentals, strong Linux and Bash scripting skills, and the ability to take on new tools and technologies independently as the role evolves.<br></span></p>
