Summary

KION North America, a leading provider of material handling solutions, is seeking a highly motivated Telematics Engineer to lead the integration and validation of advanced telematics systems for KION North America's industrial trucks portfolio, including both electric and internal combustion (IC) platforms. This role focuses on end-to-end system integration-bridging mechanical, electrical, and software domains-to deliver intelligent fleet solutions such as access control, geo-fencing, operator-based speed control, and man-machine interfaces (MMI). This role offers the opportunity to shape next-generation telematics capabilities in industrial vehicles, driving innovation in safety, productivity, and connectivity.

The ideal candidate combines hands-on engineering expertise with systems-level thinking and is experienced in working with CANbus-connected devices, embedded systems, and industrial vehicle environments. You will collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, software, and validation teams to design robust and scalable telematics solutions.

We offer:

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.
