We are seeking a Senior Support Engineer with hands‑on experience in traffic signal controller systems to support SEPAC software environments running on our m60, 2070, and Blade controllers.
This role is focused controller-level functionality including timing, firmware behavior, communications, and field integration. The position requires strong troubleshooting capability across controller hardware, software, and communications interfaces to ensure reliable intersection performance.
While the primary focus is on field controllers, the role requires working knowledge of central systems (ATMS platforms) to support end‑to‑end issue resolution between the field and system backend.
This is a specialized transportation systems role - not a general IT, cloud, or software development position.
To ensure alignment with the role:
- Applicants must have direct experience with traffic signal controllers and field‑integrated transportation systems.
- Backgrounds limited to general IT support, software development, system administration, or cloud‑only roles without traffic/ITS experience will not meet the minimum qualifications.
- Successful candidates are self‑directed learners who proactively build relationships, seek information across organizational boundaries, and operate effectively with limited day‑to‑day supervision.
- The role supports products with active enhancement backlogs, complex customer environments, and evolving business priorities. Success requires comfort operating in a dynamic environment while maintaining customer focus and execution discipline.
