Embedded IoT Solution Engineer

Job Title: Embedded IoT Solution Engineer

Location: Mountain View, CA (Hybrid)

Duration: Long Term

Senior IoT Solutions Engineer to drive chipset/module enablement, firmware support, reference designs, customer integration and developer enablement for its standards-based satellite connectivity platform. The engineer should be able to take an IoT device from unboxing through a validated NB-IoT NTN attach and data session with minimal ongoing engineering support.

Primary Responsibilities

·       Chipset & module bring-up: network attach, provisioning, firmware validation, AT-command behaviour and certification support (GCF/PTCRB where relevant).

·       Reference designs and integration guides for OEMs across IoT, automotive and enterprise.

·       Optimize applications for NB-NTN constraints such as link budget, latency, duty cycle, PSM, eDRX and RAI.

·       Own reference architectures, debug tooling, integration guides and technical support playbooks.

·       Deep expertise in NB-NTN radio behaviour: link budget, Doppler compensation, timing advance, satellite visibility/pass windows and store-and-forward vs. real-time modes.

·       Own TN ↔️ NTN switching and network selection behaviour, including PLMN selection, RRC state behaviour and device-side configuration.

·       Guide customers on NIDD via NEF/SCEF/T6a and constrained protocols such as CoAP, LwM2M, MQTT and MQTT-SN.

·       Design/validate end-to-end device-to-cloud data flows using platforms such as AWS IoT or Azure IoT.

·       Own IP networking to the customer: APN, IP addressing, DNS, routing, firewall/NAT, IPsec/VPN and private/dedicated connectivity; GTP/GRX/IPX awareness is a plus.

·       Build/consume REST APIs, webhooks and network-exposure APIs such as NEF/SCEF/CAMARA-style interfaces.

·       Act as top-tier technical escalation for module vendors, OEMs and enterprise customers; reproduce and root-cause issues across device, RAN, core and application layers.

·       Create developer enablement assets: reference implementations, quick-start guides, sample code and technical integration patterns.

·       Improve self-service OEM/developer trial workflows and reduce friction/support dependency.

Must-Have Technical Skills

·       5+ years relevant experience in IoT Solutions Engineering, Embedded Systems, Field Applications Engineering or similar customer-facing technical engineering.

·       Strong hands-on C/C++ embedded development, RTOS and cellular module bring-up.

·       Strong cellular IoT knowledge: registration, attach sequences, SIM/eSIM, PLMN selection and packet data.

·       Strong NB-IoT and NB-NTN knowledge, including 3GPP Release 17, RRC, NAS, PSM/eDRX and RAI.

·       Hands-on chipset/module experience. Examples named in the requirement: Qualcomm 9205S/212S, Sony Altair, Sequans, MediaTek; Quectel, u-blox, Murata, Fibocom and Telit.

·       Practical RAN/RF understanding: link budgets, RF debugging, coverage and interference.

·       Modem-log and packet-level debugging using QXDM/QCAT or equivalent, AT commands and PCAP analysis.

·       Real-device experience with TN ↔️ NTN switching / network-selection behavior.

·       Application/full-stack skills: CoAP, LwM2M, MQTT-SN, NIDD, embedded C, Python and cloud/API integration.

·       Hands-on AWS IoT or Azure IoT experience, including device-to-cloud pipelines and connected-device identity/security.

·       Strong IP networking: APN, IP addressing, DNS, routing, NAT/firewall and secure interconnects.

·       REST APIs and webhooks; NEF/SCEF and CAMARA familiarity strongly desirable.

·       Preferred Qualifications

·       NB-IoT NTN, satellite IoT, 3GPP standards or roaming experience.

·       Wireshark, signaling analytics, BigQuery or developer-portal experience.

·       Track record of creating developer documentation that reduces support tickets.

Ideal Candidate Profile

·       Hands-on engineer rather than a purely presales/solution-design profile.

·       Strong combination of embedded + modem + cellular/RAN + NTN + cloud/networking expertise.

·       Able to independently troubleshoot across the complete stack: device → modem/RAN → core → IP/network →cloud/application.

·       Comfortable working directly with OEMs, module/chipset vendors and enterprise customers.

·       Strong technical documentation and developer enablement capability.
