About this role

We are seeking an experience/senior engineer to drive the end to end development of innovative IoT and IIoT products. In the role, you will lead the design, build, and deployment of IoT-enabled electrical and embedded systems, taking ownership of complex assemblies from early concept through to mass production. You will work within a multi-disciplinary team to solve unfamiliar problems, ensuring our solutions meet rigorous standards for performance, reliability, security and user experience.

Key Responsibilities

- End-to-End Product Development : Lead the full product lifecycle (NPI) for new product categories, translating technical challenges into clear design requirements, creating concepts, building prototypes, and validating designs for production.

- Hardware & System Design: Define the overall system architecture and lead complex hardware development including firmware from concept to production, ensuring optimal PCB layout, sensor integration, power circuits, and communication interfaces.

- Connectivity & Integration : Ensure reliable connectivity between industrial equipment, edge devices, and cloud platforms. Implement sensing strategies, edge compute solutions, and data ingestion/storage systems while maintaining high availability

- Testing & Optimization : Conduct laboratory validation, troubleshooting, and optimization of circuits, communication protocols and system performance. Define metrics to measure success and support product decisions.

- Collaboration & Leadership : Collaborate with internal teams (software, quality, operations) and external partners to integrate smart platforms and industrial networking solutions. Provide technical planning, effort estimates and risk management.

- Compliance & Security : Apply principled engineering practices including cybersecurity considerations, change control and adherence to global IoT standards (e.g., ETSI, CISPR, Bluetooth SIG, UK PSTI)

Requirements (Minimum Qualifications)

- Degree or Master's in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or equivalent.

- Minimum 8 years of direct experience in hardware or system design with a proven track record in embedded

- Resilient, methodical, and curious approach to design

- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across internal and external teams

- Comfort working with governance constraints (auditability, security, privacy) and designing practical solutions within them

Technical Expertise

- Design experience and knowledge in the following: SoC/Processors, DDR4, Flash memory, USB, PCIe, NVMe and GbE technologies

- Strong background in wireless design and validation (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE)

- Experience with CAD tools (e.g. KiCad)

- Familiarity with industrial networking (VLANs, switches, firewalls)

- Knowledge of industrial cybersecurity principles, endpoint security and remote device management

Good to have

- Experience in RF engineering and antenna design
