Software Systems Engineer - III​/QA

America Networks is a leading sensor and networking solutions partner for companies in any Industrial, Manufacturing, and Waste management space. We design and manufacture sensors for storage tanks, water metering, energy metering, gas monitoring, and asset management. Our founders are hardcore telecommunications engineers with combined 200+ years of experience in designing, optimizing and performance engineering for several mid‑large wireless carriers internationally.

They saw a need to provide low power, cost efficient sensors to collect data, create alerts, and predict needed actions. We have combined these sensors with low‑power, wide‑area (LPWA) networking technologies to provide clients various options to decrease re‑occurring costs associated with operating an IoT network of sensors and connected devices. We specialize in design, deployment, optimization, and support of these networks.

Whether an off‑the‑shelf or custom solution is needed, we’ll create a solution and push the data on the best cloud platform to fit your needs, including your own.
