Your Task
As part of our engineering team, you will develop a realistic simulation of our IoT telematics ecosystem. The goal is to model the full lifecycle of a container shipment as faithfully as possible, covering both device behavior and the data they produce.
This means you will tackle two core challenges:
- Device behavior simulation — modeling real-world connectivity patterns, including when and where devices can or cannot transmit data (e.g., signal loss in tunnels, ports, or remote areas)
- Data simulation — generating realistic telemetry payloads from our hardware, including:
- Gateway data: GPS location, ambient temperature
- Sensor data: loading state, cargo temperature, door opening events, and more
What You'll Work On
- Design and implement a data simulator for our gateway and sensor devices
- Model real-world logistics routes and connectivity conditions
- Generate synthetic but realistic telemetry streams
- Package and deploy your simulation using Docker and Kubernetes
- Collaborate with our engineering team to align the simulation with real device specifications
What You Bring
- Studies in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
- Solid programming skills, ideally with experience in Kotlin
- Analytical mindset and a hands-on attitude
What We Offer
- Deep dive into a real-world IoT telematics product used across global supply chains
- Hands-on work with a modern cloud-native tech stack
- A small, collaborative team with flat hierarchies
- Meaningful output — your simulator will directly support our development and testing pipelines
