Lead/Senior Engineer (IoT/IIoT)

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
