Job Summary

Telit is seeking a skilled, customer-focused Field Applications Engineer to support pre-sales activities and lead customer implementations for deviceWISE Edge, deviceWISE Cloud, and AI/Visual Inspection solutions. This role combines solution engineering, hands-on integration, configuration, commissioning, and technical support across industrial automation, connected machines, and AI-enabled manufacturing environments. The FAE helps customers achieve value quickly by designing solutions, building proofs of concept, deploying integrations, and enabling customer teams to scale across production lines, plants, and enterprise operations.

Objectives & Responsibilities

- Own firmware architecture for Telit Cinterion IoT products and customer programs, primarily across cellular IOT Devices including asset trackers, telematics, embedded modems, gateways and routers.
- Provide hands-on technical leadership for firmware design, implementation, bring-up, debugging, integration, and root-cause analysis in embedded C/C++ environments.
- Translate customer requirements, field issues, and technical scoping inputs into clear firmware requirements and architecture direction.
- Guide internal and partner engineering teams through architecture documents, interface definitions, design reviews, implementation guidance, and acceptance criteria.
- Architect wireless and device-to-cloud capabilities involving cellular, Wi-Fi, BLE, GNSS, MQTT/HTTP(S), OTA/FOTA, diagnostics, telemetry, and device management.
- Define embedded security architecture for connected devices, including secure boot, signed firmware, secure update, key management, secure storage, and hardware root-of-trust options.
- Drive firmware platform reuse and maintainability through modular architecture, common drivers and services, BSP/HAL standards, boot/update frameworks, diagnostics, logging, and coding practices.
- Partner with Hardware, Product Management, Program Management, Certification, Manufacturing, Technical Support, Sales/FAE, and validation teams to deliver reliable, secure,



production-ready products.
- Mentor and, where applicable, manage firmware and validation engineers, raising technical standards through design reviews, code reviews, best practices, and cross-functional technical leadership.

Requirements & Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
- 7-10+ years of embedded firmware development experience, ideally including multiple shipped connected-device, wireless, telematics, tracking, router, gateway, industrial IoT, or embedded product programs.
- Proven experience defining firmware architecture across BSP, HAL, drivers, middleware, application services, boot/update flows, diagnostics, and device-management interfaces.
- Experience with cellular modem integration, AT commands, GNSS, Wi-Fi, BLE, sensors, and embedded communication interfaces such as UART, SPI, I²C, CAN, RS232, RS485, Ethernet, and USB.
- Experience with secure boot, bootloaders, signed firmware images, firmware update mechanisms, key management, secure storage, and secure debug/service access.
- Strong customer-facing communication skills, with the ability to translate customer needs into firmware requirements and explain tradeoffs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Robust understanding of device-to-cloud communication patterns, including MQTT, HTTP/HTTPS, TCP/IP, secure provisioning, device identity, telemetry, remote configuration, and firmware update workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience working with distributed or offshore engineering teams, including the ability to produce clear requirements, architecture documentation, technical handoff packages, and review feedback.
- Ability to lead by influence, mentor engineers, make architecture decisions, and remain hands-on when required to resolve critical technical issues.
- Experience with embedded Linux, Linux BSPs, device trees, kernel drivers, Yocto/OpenWrt, routing/networking, gateway firmware, or Linux-based edge devices. Linux experience is highly desirable.
