Lead real-world IoT products at scale (apply if this is your kind of challenge) A senior leadership role for an experienced embedded/hardware engineer who wants ownership, influence, and the chance to build robust engineering practice around real products deployed in their tens of thousands. About the company & projects This is a fast-growing UK-based technology company building field-deployed IoT hardware that operates in demanding real-world environments. Its products are already commercially deployed at significant scale across international markets and are solving tangible, high-impact problems across multiple sectors. The business is moving from early growth into its next funding and scale-up phase, with hardware quality, manufacturability and engineering process now mission-critical. This role exists to ensure the hardware function is built properly - not rushed, not chaotic, and not fragile. Who this role suits This role is ideal for someone who has already led a small embedded or hardware team, knows what "good" looks like, and wants the autonomy to implement it. You'll enjoy this role if you like being close to the technical detail, but gain most of your leverage from setting standards, building process, and developing engineers. It is not a role for someone who only wants to manage large teams, and equally not for someone who wants to remain a purely hands-on individual contributor. You'll thrive if you're comfortable with ambiguity, take ownership naturally, and want your fingerprints on both products and engineering culture. Benefits of the role A balance of hands on engineering in electronics / hardware, and senior leadership Ownership of the entire embedded hardware function Opportunity to define engineering standards and processes from the ground up Influence over product roadmap, technical risk, and manufacturing strategy Work on hardware deployed globally at meaningful volume (10,000s of units) Regular international travel to manufacturing and production partners Competitive salary commensurate with seniority and responsibility Long-term career growth as the company scales through its next phase Requirements for application Significant hands-on experience in embedded electronics / hardware development Proven experience managing a small embedded or hardware team End-to-end hardware lifecycle ownership: schematic design, PCB layout, prototyping, test, EMC/regulatory approval, and production handover Experience working with contract electronics manufacturers (CEMs) at volumes of 1,000+ units Strong understanding of engineering process: change control, design reviews, risk management, documentation Confident hardware debugging skills using oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal generators, spectrum analysers Comfortable operating in a startup or scale-up environment with imperfect information Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or equivalent practical industry experience Happy to work on site in Cambridge Beneficial for application Experience with Altium RF design and testing, including regulatory approval processes Low-power, battery-operated system design Environmental protection / weatherproofing for field-deployed hardware Prior involvement in scaling hardware products from prototype to volume manufacture Experience introducing or improving engineering processes in growing teams If you are generally interested in roles in this sector, or know anyone else who is, please contact Sheridan Halls for more information. We have a number of roles coming out all the time, not all of which are advertised publicly.
