Job Description
Senior Backline Support Engineer
Motive - Fleet Management Software
• Debug complex device issues end-to-end: Investigate and resolve the toughest issues impacting our devices in the field, combining evidence from hardware behavior, firmware logs, and service-side signals to identify true root cause. • Perform deep hardware and firmware diagnostics: Use device logs, serial/console output, configuration snapshots, telemetry, and on-vehicle data (e.g., CAN/J1939, OBD-II) to understand how devices are behaving under real-world conditions. • Triage hardware vs. firmware vs. software causes: Systematically narrow down whether a symptom is driven by physical installation, harness/vehicle interface, firmware logic, or the services that manage devices, and drive the right fix with the right team. • Reproduce and validate issues in lab and field-like setups: Work with simulators, harnesses, bench setups, and controlled test fleets to reproduce customer issues, validate hypotheses, and confirm fixes before broad rollout. • Support and validate firmware releases: Participate in pre- and post-release validation for firmware drops, watching for regressions, rollout/rollback issues, and edge cases that only appear in specific vehicles, environments, or customer workflows. • Perform software-level debugging for device-facing services: Read and interpret application/service logs, error messages, and state transitions in the server-side components that configure devices, manage telemetry, or orchestrate firmware updates; partner with Software/Backend Engineering to resolve defects. • Lead clear, actionable RCAs: Own and deliver root cause analyses that explain what failed across hardware, firmware, and software boundaries, why it failed, impact to customers, and concrete long-term remediation and prevention steps. • Shape observability and diagnostics: Provide requirements and feedback to Engineering on device and service logging, telemetry, and health signals so that future issues can be detected and diagnosed faster and more reliably. • Mentor and upskill the wider support organization: Document repeatable troubleshooting flows, decision trees, and best practices; coach other Support and Field teams on how to recognize and handle hardware/firmware/software issues before they need escalation. • Drive cross-functional incident response: Act as a technical lead during high-severity incidents, coordinating with Hardware, Firmware, Software/Backend Engineering, Product, and Field/Professional Services to stabilize fleets and communicate status and next steps.
Job Requirements
- 2–3+ years in Backline / Tier 3 / Escalation Support, Systems Engineering, or a similar role, with hands-on ownership of hardware and firmware issues in production environments.
- Demonstrated strength in system-level debugging that spans hardware, firmware, and software, not just one layer in isolation.
- Experience reading and interpreting device and firmware logs, serial output, and field telemetry to understand state machines, timing, and error conditions.
- Familiarity with vehicle/industrial interfaces such as CAN/J1939, OBD-II, sensors, and cameras, and how those signals are consumed by on-device firmware and higher-level services.
- Understanding of core embedded concepts: power/boot behavior, watchdogs, resets, configuration, over-the-air updates, and how these can fail in noisy real-world conditions.
- Comfort with software-level debugging for services that interface with devices (e.g., interpreting application logs, tracing configuration/state through components, identifying where behavior diverges from expected flows).
- Ability to design and execute reproduction strategies in lab or controlled environments and translate results into concrete bug reports and test cases.
- Proven record of delivering clear RCAs and CAPA (corrective and preventive actions) for recurring or systemic incidents.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with experience working closely with Hardware, Firmware, and Software/Backend Engineering, as well as Product and Field/Professional Services.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain complex device and system behavior to both deeply technical audiences and non-technical stakeholders (e.g., customers, executives, frontline support).
- Bonus: experience in telematics, automotive, industrial IoT, or other safety-critical/mission-critical device ecosystems, and familiarity with using scripting (e.g., Python/Bash) to automate diagnostics or data analysis.

- Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace is one of Motive's core values. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome people of different backgrounds, experiences, abilities and perspectives.
