Internet of Things (IoT) Platform Engineer

We are seeking a IoT Platform Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about creating a world class IoT platforms. This opportunity requires experience collecting and processing real-time data, as well as creating management tools for viewing the real-time data and monitoring a system of industrial mechanical, electrical, and sensor components. You will be responsible for implementing data collection, data flow, and monitoring logic large scale power production systems including Energy Vault’s gravity storage solutions. If you are motivated by developing an IoT platform that will enable the global transition to renewable energy and committed to teamwork, innovation, and learning you will thrive in this role.

This role involves building an IoT platform that will manage, collect, and analyze data from a suite of sensors and Industrial Control Systems. The IoT platform will also ingest data from disparate sources to provide predictive services to optimize operation and management of gravity storage systems. You should have a strong working knowledge of data flow and IoT ecosystems, libraries, tools, and services. Experience with AWS IoT Core, AWS Greengrass, and MQTT is highly desired. You should also be proficient in Python, Linux command line and capable of developing in a modern DevOps environment that leverages Git, unit testing, continuous integration and automated testing systems. This role includes collaborating with company leadership, customers, and engineers from many disciplines to deliver a world-class software and services platform the unlocks the power of gravity storage.
