IoT / Bluetooth Tracker Integration Consultant

We are looking for an experienced IoT/Bluetooth hardware consultant to help us assess and potentially integrate a small, battery-powered, SIM-free Bluetooth/UWB tracking device designed for asset and pet tracking with our existing mobile application via the Hubble Network. The device is an inexpensive, compact tracker sourced from an OEM manufacturer and is currently designed to operate with the Apple and/or Google device-finding ecosystems. Our objective is to have the location of the tracker displayed directly within our own app/platform rather than requiring customers to use Apple Find My or Google Find My Device. We need a consultant who can: Review the tracker's hardware, chipset, firmware and communication protocols. Determine whether location/data can be accessed outside the Apple/Google Find My ecosystems. Assess whether the device can communicate with the Hubble Network and our application. Identify whether BLE, UWB, SDK/API, GATT characteristics, firmware modifications or alternative hardware would be required. Recommend the most practical architecture for getting tracker location into our platform. Advise us on the technical requirements we need to request from the OEM manufacturer. If feasible, assist our developers with a proof-of-concept integration. Experience with Hubble Network, BLE, UWB, IoT tracking devices, embedded firmware, Apple/Google Find My accessories and mobile SDK integration would be particularly valuable. The initial engagement will be a technical feasibility assessment, with the potential for further development and integration work if the proposed approach is viable. When applying, please explain your experience with Hubble Network or similar crowdsourced/Bluetooth IoT networks, relevant tracking hardware integrations, and how you would approach assessing this device.
