• Document and design methods to collect data from vehicles in a digestible format for Geotab’s hardware and software teams.
• Support the global reverse‑engineering vision by contributing to the design and implementation of software tooling.
• Use cloud‑based data warehouses such as BigQuery and Google Cloud Compute for automated analysis of vehicle data and identification of vehicle support gaps.
• Assist in the product development cycle through proof of concepts and execution of beta testing.
• Collaborate with development teams across Big Data, Firmware, Software/ Mobile Development, and Hardware teams.
• Apply strong analytical, project management, communication, and technical problem‑solving skills to manage multiple timelines and deliver results.

What You’ll Bring To The Role:

• Current enrollment in a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Mechatronics, Electrical, Automotive, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience with CAN and CAN bus—an asset.
• Strong programming skills and a knack for learning new languages.
• Familiarity with C#, Python, SQL, MATLAB.
• Experience with CANalyzer, Simulink—an asset.
• Multidisciplinary background.
• Understanding of vehicle architectures, including hybrid and electric vehicles.
• Hands‑on vehicle experience—diagnosing problems with your own car.
