Build data-ingestion services for telemetry, events, status updates, and firmware metadata.
-
Develop integration frameworks and APIs that bridge sensor networks, edge gateways, and cloud data platforms.
-
Design schemas, data models, and transformation logic for sensor data pipelines.
-
Manage cloud infrastructure and edge systems using infrastructure-as-code and deployment tooling.
Quality and Automation
-
Own end-to-end QA across firmware, tag provisioning, mobile apps, web applications, and cloud services.

-
Build automated testing frameworks for validating sensor integrations and data accuracy.
-
Implement CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.
-
Investigate and resolve production issues across integrations, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
-
Improve system reliability through retries, idempotency, monitoring, and error handling.
Leadership and Collaboration
-
Lead by influence across the engineering stack. Set clear goals, priorities, and quality standards.
-
Mentor engineers through design reviews and direct feedback on architecture and QA.
-
Initiate and lead technical design discussions and communicate tradeoffs clearly.
-
Collaborate with hardware, firmware, product, and cloud teams to align on technical direction.
-
Lead pilot programs and technical validation with partners and customers.
-
Build the team through hiring and help define technical standards.
What we are looking for:
Required
-
5+ years in systems integration, deployment engineering, or IoT platform development.
-
Ability to lead technical teams while remaining hands-on.
-
Deep experience with multi-protocol IoT ecosystems (at least 3 of: Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN, Cellular).
-
Strong background in data pipeline design, data lakes, and ETL processes.
-
Strong Python and hands-on experience with data integration frameworks.
-
Proven expertise building end-to-end QA frameworks across firmware, mobile, web, and cloud.
-
Experience with AWS or comparable cloud platforms for IoT data ingestion and storage.
-
Strong automated-testing skills (unit, integration, end-to-end).
-
Experience with Git, CI/CD, code review, and production deployment.
-
Clear communicator across hardware, firmware, app, and cloud teams.
-
Experience with Linux.
Nice to Have
-
Experience building cloud-connected IoT or device-management platforms.
-
Experience with AWS IoT Core, IoT Jobs, Device Shadows, or fleet provisioning.
-
Experience with firmware OTA updates and telemetry systems.
-
Experience with time-series databases (InfluxDB, TimescaleDB) or stream processing.
-
Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (AWS CDK, Terraform).
-
Familiarity with embedded systems and wireless communications.
-
Track record launching products from alpha through production pilots.
-
Experience in aerospace, satellite, industrial IoT, or mission-critical environments.
-
Background in security-focused systems and operational compliance.
