Device Performance Engineer

The role

You will analyze collar performance at fleet scale to improve device performance. You will use large datasets to gain insights into physical systems and work with engineering teams to implement improvements.

What you will do

• Analyse collar performance at fleet scale including power consumption, battery life, GPS and sensor behaviour.
• Build a ground-truth understanding of how the product is used on farm.
• Wrangle large, messy, real-world datasets to find signal in the noise.
• Reason from first principles about the physical limitations of sensors, radios and batteries.
• Bring real-world device performance understanding into the scoping and design of new products and hardware revisions.
• Communicate findings clearly to firmware, hardware and product teams.
• See improvements through from insight to production by working with engineering teams.

Required qualifications

• Engineering science, physics, or similarly quantitative technical background.
• Track record of applying technical background to real, messy, physical-world problems.
• Strong data analysis skills.
• Comfortable working with large real-world datasets in Python or similar.
• Strong communication skills.

Nice to have

• Curiosity about farming, animal welfare, or hardware that survives outdoors on a live animal.
• Experience in statistics, or applied maths.
• Experience working on optimisation problems.

Benefits

• Personal growth fund.
