Note Hybrid, may be asked to come into the office for hands-on tasks Junior IoT Engineer No engineering degree required, but curiosity is. We're a small IoT company building and deploying real-world sensor systems, and we're looking for someone early in their engineering career who loves learning how things work. You might be getting an Electrical Engineering or Computer Science degree. You might have gone to trade school. You might be self-taught and have a desk covered in Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, wires, and half-finished projects. We're interested in what you can do and learn , not the name on your diploma. Show us what you've built Seriously. Built something with an Arduino? Designed a PCB? Made a robot? Automated your house? Written firmware? Set up a home server? Repaired electronics? Built something completely ridiculous just because you wanted to see if you could? Tell us about it. Personal projects, hobbies, and things you've taught yourself matter to us. What you'll do You'll work with real IoT hardware throughout its entire lifecycle—from engineering prototypes to devices deployed in the field.

Your work will include:

Configuring and preparing IoT devices for deployment Managing firmware and device settings across our fleet Testing and QA'ing sensors before they become finished goods Troubleshooting devices that don't behave the way they're supposed to Using fleet data to investigate problems and identify trends Testing new hardware and firmware designs Presenting feedback to the rest of the R&D team Learning to diagnose PCB, sensor, power, firmware, and RF problems Helping us improve the tools and processes we use to configure, test, and deploy devices Some days you'll be working with production hardware. Other days you might be looking through logs, testing a prototype, chasing down an RF problem, writing a script to automate something annoying, or putting an oscilloscope on a board to figure out what went wrong. That's part of the fun. Things you'll learn We do not expect you to already know all of these. Experience with any of them is a bonus. More importantly, we're looking for someone excited to learn : Microcontrollers and embedded systems Linux and the command line Firmware and device management PCB debugging Sensors and IoT systems RF and wireless communications Data analysis and troubleshooting Python and scripting Electronics test equipment, including: Multimeters Oscilloscopes Logic analyzers Programmable power supplies and loads Other lab equipment you'll probably find an excuse to play with You'll get exposure to the full lifecycle of an IoT product: prototype → hardware → firmware → testing → production → deployment → fleet data → field troubleshooting Who we're looking for We're looking for someone who is: Curious Hands-on Comfortable saying, "I don't know, but I can figure it out" Excited to learn new tools Willing to dig into weird problems Careful enough to do good production and QA work Interested in understanding why something failed instead of simply replacing it Happy working across hardware, software, data, and production rather than staying in one narrow lane If you've ever spent an evening trying to figure out why an Arduino wasn't doing what you told it to do, taken apart an electronic device just to see what was inside, or taught yourself something because you couldn't stop wondering how it worked, you may be exactly who we're looking for. What it's like working here You'll report directly to our Head of Research & Engineering . We don't expect a junior engineer to walk through the door already knowing everything. Teaching and mentorship are a major part of how our R&D team operates. You'll start with problems you can tackle and take on increasingly difficult ones as your skills grow. Because we're a small company, you won't be isolated from the rest of the product. You'll work alongside the people designing, programming, testing, deploying, and supporting the systems you're working on. That means you'll get exposure to a lot of engineering very quickly. We're also a team that genuinely enjoys working together. We take the engineering seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. Expect bad puns, plenty of joking around, people jumping in to help each other debug problems, and coworkers who actually enjoy hanging out together. You do NOT need An engineering degree Years of professional experience To know every tool or technology listed above To pretend you know something when you don't Bring curiosity, a willingness to learn, and something cool you've worked on. We can teach a lot of the rest.
