Field Systems Engineer; Linux​/IoT

We believe the future of our nation’s roadways is automated, safer, more accessible and enables more efficient movement of people and goods. While billions have been invested into developing vehicle technologies – including advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”) and autonomous driving solutions – a small fraction has been spent on developing infrastructure to support and enhance roadways. At Cavnue, we are developing and integrating technologies that will power the world’s most technologically advanced roadways (“cavnues”).

Our approach is founded in creating a digital model of the roadway that analyzes and optimizes road conditions in real-time, sharing actionable alerts and providing proactive guidance to vehicles and drivers.

Join us in innovating the roads of the future. Cavnue is bridging vehicle technology and road infrastructure to rapidly deliver safer roads today while accelerating the adoption of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) moving forward. With ongoing deployments in Michigan and Texas, Cavnue is the only company in North America that uses Smart Road technology to improve performance for road operators and deliver a safer, more efficient experience for all road users while preparing for a future with more CAVs.

Our mission is to set the new standard for road performance and safety.

As a Platform Operations Engineer / Field Systems Engineer (Florida), you will serve as the primary owner of operations and product execution for statewide IoT deployments, driving the tools, workflows, and systems required to support reliable field operations. This role focuses on building and deploying the tools, interfaces, and integrations that enable seamless operation and maintenance of roadway infrastructure. You will bridge the gap between core software systems and field operations, ensuring contractors are equipped with automated workflows and actionable insights to meet strict SLAs and resolve issues efficiently.

This role will require regular on-site field work at roadside infrastructure deployments in Orlando, Florida, supporting real-time field operations and issue triage, with occasional travel across our other projects in Florida and Georgia, as needed.
