Elevator Systems Integration Specialist

Who We Are

Knaq builds IoT monitoring technology for a range of industrial equipment that combines custom-built hardware with cloud-based analytics and AI. Our hardware sends real-time data to cloud-based infrastructure that presents live equipment information, alerting, and predictive analytics.

We’re a small, tight-knit team passionate about our work and our customers. We rally around the following four values:

1. Effort: work hard and take things personally.

2. Thoroughness: obsess over the details.

3. Resourcefulness: find solutions to difficult problems.

4. Initiative: chase new ideas with fervor and contribute eagerly to the mission.

Who You Are

We are looking for a Systems Integration Specialist to lead the deployment of our devices across a diverse fleet of elevators, escalators, and moving walkways at a major institution in Los Angeles. This role is the critical link between our hardware and the physical machines; you will be responsible for tapping into equipment controllers and ensuring our sensors are accurately capturing the data that powers our platforms.

This is a full-time, W2 position based in Los Angeles, CA, paying $75/hr. This role operates on a permanent night shift (Monday–Friday, 11:00 PM – 7:00 AM) to facilitate work during low-traffic hours at the institution.

What You'll Do

● Hardware Installation: Mount and configure Knaq IoT devices on a variety of elevator and escalator makes/models.

● Electrical Integration: Tap into controller wiring to monitor necessary data points.

● Diagram Interpretation: Read and accurately interpret complex wiring diagrams for a wide range of controller types (non-proprietary and OEM).

● Collaboration: Coordinate with institutional mechanics to safely access pits, tops of cars, and machine rooms.

● Quality Control: Test and verify data transmission from the sensor to the Knaq platform before moving to the next unit

What You Bring

● Technical Proficiency: Strong background in electrical systems. You must be comfortable and competent at reading wiring diagrams and tapping into controllers.

● Conveyance Experience: Previous experience working with elevators (traction/hydraulic) and escalators is required. While a CCCM license is not required, you must possess the safety knowledge and technical vocabulary of the industry.

● Generalist Mindset: Ability to work across various brands (Otis, Kone, Schindler, Thyssenkrupp, etc.) rather than specializing in just one.

● Reliability: This is a mission-critical rollout. Consistency for the 11 PM – 7 AM shift is non-negotiable.
