Job description

As an Edge Systems Engineer, you will be the architect of our 'edge' intelligence, responsible for building high-speed interfaces and telemetry collectors that monitor industrial and marine hardware. This role requires a strong understanding of how software interacts with hardware, and the ability to write performant, memory-safe code for mission-critical monitoring environments.

• Design and implement high-performance data collection agents using Rust and Go
• Develop and maintain interfaces for a variety of industrial and vehicular protocols, including MODBUS (TCP/RTU), CANOpen, J1939, NMEA 2000, S-BUS, OPC-UA, and BACNet
• Analyze and decode proprietary or undocumented communication protocols using traffic sniffing and pattern analysis
• Analyze customer electrical schematics and site layouts to specify the optimal hardware configuration for each deployment
• Manage the deployment and lifecycle of edge devices using Ansible
• Profile and optimize system-level resource usage to ensure efficient software operation on constrained gateway hardware

Relevant work experience

• Expert-level proficiency in Rust or Go, with a deep understanding of concurrency, memory management, and low-level I/O
• Hands-on experience interfacing with physical hardware via serial, Ethernet, and CAN-bus interfaces for data extraction
• Strong comfort working within embedded Linux environments, including systemd, network configuration, and debugging hardware peripherals
• Practical experience using Ansible for configuration management and remote orchestration
