Job Description
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)
