Job description

Verity

Verity helps clients achieve zero-error warehousing. Our drones fly on their own alongside day-to-day warehouse operations, inspecting stock, racking and the facility, and we turn what they capture into warehouse intelligence: insights and recommendations that go well beyond stock accuracy, all the way to operational excellence.

Your Team

Your team brings together electronics and mechanical engineering and works closely with adjacent teams on the hardware that makes this possible: compute, cameras, wireless, power and charging, packed into a drone that has to work safely and reliably, flight after flight. Reporting directly to the Head of Robotics Platform you’ll design the electronics at the heart of the drone and lead a small multidisciplinary team to shape the complete system, taking ideas from first prototypes to a fleet flying in client warehouses every day.

Your Role

• Own and shape complete robotic system hardware with electronics and mechanical engineers and collaborate closely with embedded software engineers on system architecture, hardware–software interfaces, and integration.
• Develop drone electronics hands-on, from architecture and circuit design through PCB implementation, prototyping, bring-up, and validation in the lab.
• Own and advance electronics and mechanical design, review, and release processes, to ensure quality, performance, reliability, EMC/EMI, and product safety.
• Build testability and manufacturability into designs, and support production transfer and lifecycle management in close collaboration with NPI, manufacturing, and procurement.
• Lead a team of electronics and mechanical engineers through technical direction, clear priorities, coaching, and feedback.

Your Experience

• Extensive hands-on experience developing complex electronics from concept through production, gained over 7+ years, including recent design work. A master’s degree in electrical or electronics engineering or equivalent expertise.
• Deep electronics knowledge, with substantial experience in embedded systems built around microcontrollers and compute modules, plus power electronics and high-speed interfaces. Proficiency in electronic CAD tools, ideally Altium Designer.
• Strong system-level thinking and a proven track record of delivering complete electromechanical systems, with a practical understanding of mechanical engineering, including packaging, thermal management, and assembly. Experience collaborating with mechanical engineers on design decisions and resolving trade-offs across disciplines.
• Confident laboratory skills and a structured, intuitive approach to problem-solving. Practical experience with design reviews and release, EMC/EMI, product safety, design for test and manufacturing, and product lifecycle management.
• Demonstrated experience guiding and developing engineers, whether as a team lead or tech lead, including giving constructive feedback and coaching. Clear and structured communication and documentation, with fluency in English.
• Practical low-level programming and scripting skills, such as C/C++, bash or Python, to bring up hardware, exercise interfaces, automate instruments, and create diagnostic and verification tools are a big plus.

Who You Are

You combine deep technical curiosity and strong analytical thinking with a pragmatic approach to building robust robotic systems. You bring structure to ambiguous challenges, use sound engineering judgment to focus your efforts, and take ownership of moving development forward. You communicate openly, build strong relationships across disciplines, and help others succeed through constructive feedback, shared learning, and a positive team attitude.

Why Verity?

• A great engineering culture, including flat hierarchies, an open-door policy, and a focus on joint responsibility and mutual trust and support
• Working with a skilled, high-achieving, experienced, and fun team—with lots of opportunities to develop your professional career and grow with the company
• Flexibility of a hybrid work environment. You can arrange start and finish times around your life (picking up kids, walking the dog, training for your next marathon at lunch)
• 25+ days of annual leave, employee stock ownership plan (conditions apply), variety of pension plans, and relocation packages
• A buddy will support you during your onboarding and first month at Verity.
• Annual team-building events, quarterly and monthly get-togethers, knowledge-sharing talks, game nights, and more
• Welcoming office space complete with friendly team members, free snacks (fresh fruits, coffee, soft drinks and more!), and fun activities—we’re dog-friendly!
