Full Job Description
Telematics Engineer

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
  • Lead the integration of telematics hardware and software systems into industrial truck platforms.
  • Integrate and Validate Truck Level features such as:
    • Access control (RFID, PIN, telematics-based authentication)
    • Geo-fencing and location-aware restrictions
    • Operator-based speed and performance control
    • User-friendly man-machine interfaces (MMI/HMI)
    • OTA Updates
  • Implement system architectures connecting telematics modules with CANbus networks (CAN Open and J1939 Protocols) across electric and IC engine platforms as well as non-CANbus platforms.
  • Work closely with mechanical and electrical engineering teams to ensure seamless physical and electrical integration of telematics devices.
  • Design and execute Vehicle-level validation
  • Perform data analysis and diagnostics on CANbus signals, telematics data streams, and system performance issues.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve integration issues across hardware, firmware, and vehicle systems.
  • Support field trials and customer deployments, providing technical expertise and feedback loops for continuous improvement.


Tasks and Qualifications:

Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of experience in telematics, embedded systems, or vehicle system integration.
  • Proven experience working with CANbus protocols, diagnostics, and networked vehicle systems.
  • Strong understanding of both:
    • Electrical systems (wiring, sensors, controllers)
    • Mechanical systems (vehicle interfaces, mounting, environmental considerations)
  • Experience integrating telematics features such as access control, geo-fencing, and operator-based controls.
  • Hands-on experience with design validation and verification processes, including test plan development and execution.
  • Familiarity with both electric and internal combustion vehicle platforms.
  • Experience with man-machine interface (MMI/HMI) design and usability considerations.
  • Strong problem-solving, troubleshooting, and analytical skills.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced engineering environment.
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience in off-highway, industrial, or commercial vehicle industries (e.g., forklifts, construction equipment, AGVs).
  • Knowledge of telematics communication technologies (e.g., cellular, GPS, IoT platforms).
  • Experience with embedded software or firmware development (C/C++, Python, or similar).
  • Familiarity with functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 13849, ISO 26262, ANSI B56).
  • Experience with data analytics, cloud platforms, or fleet management systems.
  • Understanding of vehicle electrification systems, including batteries, motor controllers, and charging infrastructure.
