Firmware Developer Programmer

Water is a scarce resource and it's only getting more challenging. Australia is the driest continent and other countries face the same challenges as us. We are one of the market leaders for smart water monitoring solutions, from remote IOT devices to water software.
Our software solutions are used by consumers, industry and utilities, and capture data from water meters along with sensors in the environment.
Taggle Systems has developed a Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) radio technology which offers low-cost, low-power long range communications for many types of sensors and instruments. Using this new technology, Taggle is deploying Australia's only dedicated m2m network to enable the cost-effective collection of data from thousands of IoT devices across very wide areas.
Coupled with Industry standard communication stacks like NB-IoT and Satellite networks, we are putting eyes and ears into the water networks, smart cities and environment monitoring across the globe.The culture is one of high performance, intelligence and innovation within a flexible environment. Taggle is embarking on a period of significant growth, and you could be part of this success.
