Software Engineer

Microchip Technology Inc.

Toronto · Ontario · Canada

Who We Are At Roadpost, we've spent years building trust with people who need to stay connected beyond cell coverage, in the world's most remote places.

That work led to ZOLEO, our global messaging platform powered by the Iridium satellite network, used by adventurers, remote workers, and enterprise teams operating off-grid.

The impact is real.

Ask the people whose lives were changed by a ZOLEO rescue alert ( read their stories ). Today, we're building the next chapter.

ZOLEO is evolving from a hardware‑led satellite communicator into a safety and preparedness platform, one that combines intelligent monitoring, automation, and real‑time visibility to give people and their Safety Circles confidence when it matters most.

Why This Role Matters
