Key Responsibilities

Cloud Platform Development

• Design and develop scalable dashboards and user interfaces for robotics, traffic management and telemetry.
• Integrate, transform, and combine multiple datasets to deliver meaningful, actionable user insights.
• Use open‑source frameworks, tools, and libraries (e.g., NuxtJS, NestJS, Grafana, D3.js) to create visually rich and responsive dashboards.
• Build cloud‑native APIs and microservices enabling machine‑to‑cloud communication using REST, gRPC, MQTT, and messaging technologies.
• Develop IoT solutions using Azure IoT Hub, Device Provisioning Service (DPS), Azure Event Hub, Azure Functions, and other cloud services to support secure telemetry ingestion and bi‑directional device communication.

Robotics and Telemetry Integration

• Integrate cloud services with vehicle and robotic systems, enabling telemetry streaming, remote monitoring, automation, and operator‑assist capabilities.
• Build and maintain both real‑time and batch data ingestion pipelines using services such as Azure Event Hub, Azure Stream Analytics, Azure Data Explorer, and Cosmos DB.
• Provide secure, reliable access for dealers and partners to HYMH databases via authenticated web service interfaces.
• Collaborate closely with telemetry platform teams, robotics engineers, external vendors, and customer organizations to deliver end‑to‑end robotics functionality.

Software Development, Testing, and Reliability

• Simulate, verify, and validate developed software to ensure it meets functional, integration, and stakeholder requirements.
• Deliver high‑quality software using Agile methodologies with an emphasis on reliability, scalability, and system performance.
• Implement observability using metrics, distributed logging, and alerting (e.g., Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Prometheus, Grafana) to support high‑availability robotics solutions.
• Contribute to engineering best practices, including documentation, coding standards, CI/CD pipelines, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Architecture and Technical Leadership

• Participate in architectural design and planning for cloud, data, and robotics platform solutions, including IoT device management, telemetry architectures, and data flows.
• Mentor junior engineers and foster growth of technical expertise across the broader engineering team.
• Contribute to sprint planning, design reviews, architecture sessions, and cross‑functional technical discussions.

Experience/Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
• Four years of relevant engineering experience
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language such as Java, C++, or C Sharp
• Experience with SQL and NoSQL database development and automation of web queries
• Experience working in an Agile software development environment
• Experience with Microsoft Azure cloud services
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Strong analytical thinking, problem solving, and design capabilities

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to robotics, autonomous vehicles, mobile or highway equipment, or industrial automation through coursework, internships, professional work, or personal projects
• Experience working with electrical engineering and embedded software teams
• Experience with telemetry systems, IoT integration, or fleet management platforms
• Experience with ROS or ROS2, simulation environments, or real‑time streaming data systems is beneficial

Working Conditions

• Combination of office, lab, workshop, and test area environments including work with prototype robotic or autonomous vehicles
• Occasional travel to suppliers, customer sites, manufacturing locations, or test facilities
