  • Define and execute engineering tests.
  • Define and oversee manufacturing tests.
  • Capture and gather key operational requirements and ensure these are fed into future iterations of our hardware.

  • Manage relationships with contractors and production partners.

Core Skills:

  • Electronic engineering – you need to be able to steer the electronics direction of our product development.
  • Embedded coding for IoT devices – C/C++ as well as some higher level languages for test scripts.
  • Expertise in circuit design with PCB layout tools and simulation software.
  • Prototyping – proven ability to create fast-turnaround prototypes via pick-and-place and reflow including fine-pitch SMT soldering and rework.
  • Mastery of automated testing tools and frameworks and lab equipment to design, develop, and test hardware solutions and via applicable software (command-line based and GUI applications).
  • Ability to design for manufacture.
  • Managing processes and managing junior staff.
  • Adaptability to learn new techniques and teach them and to work outside your comfort zone.

Knowledge & Experience:

  • Experience working with Lithium Ion battery management system, solar power (including MPPT systems and SMPS design), GSM and cellular communication.
  • Existing understanding and experience connecting IoT devices wirelessly, using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, and cellular modems.
  • Comfortable working in both Unix and Windows environments.
