Cooltrax | Principal IoT Engineer | Melbourne, AUSTRALIA | AU$120-140k, negotiable | ONSITE &amp; WFH | Full-Time | <a href="
We’re an industrial IoT company that builds our own hardware and writes software to monitor temperatures, control fridges, and track trailers as they transport goods across the country. We operate in Australia and the United States and have a distributed engineering team with the home base in Melbourne.
We’ve been running our IoT platform for over 15 years and the hardware and firmware have evolved a lot in that time. We now see an opportunity for a major revolution in our hardware based on our market-leading position. We’re developing a new hardware platform running Linux and using this momentum to rethink our IoT backend and database structure. This role will own the firmware and software architecture of this platform, and work closely with the rest of the Engineering team to integrate it all. It's a big ask, but a great opportunity to make an impact and join a growing company in the driver's seat for a key project.
Our technology stack includes Typescript, Postgres, RabbitMQ, Redis, Node, K8S, and Azure. For this project we're inclined to write the platform software in Python, but ultimately - you will make that decision!
If you’re the type of person we’re looking for, you’ll be nodding along to most of these points:
  • You have likely worked in a consulting product development role or as a senior 
    or lead engineer on a commercially released mechatronic device
  • You can read a PCB and datasheets and are fluent in a variety of protocols 
    including Bluetooth (bonus points if you’ve implemented a v5.1 BLE stack!)
  • You know how to write an SRS and detailed design, and then validate a product 
    against it
  • You’ve written firmware and device drivers in the past and are comfortable 
    reviewing and integrating other people’s work in this area
  • You are used to with working with suppliers and development partners
  • You can demonstrate your ability to translate technical concepts into the 
    language needed to work effectively with different types of people
