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.
