Ideal candidate also has

  • Bachelor's of Science degree or advanced education in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related discipline.
  • Work experience in task automation scripting and transferring data between systems using Bash, Python, JavaScript, or equivalent language.
  • Work experience building solutions leveraging open APIs.
  • Understanding of vehicle diagnostic systems, including Controller Area Networks (CAN bus) and Power Take Off (PTO) applications.
  • Hobbyist interest in electronic systems (car audio installation, classic car restoration, home automation, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, etc.).
  • Consistent track record of success selling complex technical solutions through strategic sales cycles.
