Edinburgh-based Tech Organisation
Tech Organisation are looking for an Electronics-focused Hardware Engineer to join their growing engineering team, working on innovative IoT products that help monitor and protect critical infrastructure.
They’ve recently secured significant investment and are entering a really exciting stage of growth. They've already built a strong customer base and have a healthy pipeline of work, so they're now looking to grow their engineering function to meet demand.
The Role
The work is varied and hands-on, with a strong focus on the development and optimisation of their next generation of low-power embedded devices. You'd be joining a close-knit engineering environment where Hardware, Firmware and Software all sit together in Edinburgh, giving you the opportunity to collaborate across multiple disciplines whilst being involved throughout the full product lifecycle.
