Hardware Engineer

Description:

This role offers the opportunity to contribute to the development of next-generation IoT hardware that supports real-time monitoring of large-scale energy systems and in-property heating equipment. The devices collect over a billion data points per month, enabling advanced analytics that help reduce carbon emissions and cut energy costs for end users.

They aim to have over 100,000 devices deployed across the UK in the next 12 months, ensuring those products remain reliable, scalable, and fit for purpose is critical to their mission. As a Hardware Engineer, you’ll play a central role in improving the performance, durability, and efficiency of their physical devices – optimising both design and functionality for real-world conditions.

You may be asked to pop into the Central London office from time to time but other than that you will have full flexibility to work from home – anywhere in the UK is fine. You are more than welcome to work onsite more often if you prefer.
