Enjoy being the person who actually gets a complex connected product working end-to-end, not just the module you own?

We're working with a fast-growing connected-device business bringing an advanced IoT hardware product to market that involves electronics, embedded firmware, RF connectivity and cloud/software all in one system. They need a System Test & Integration Engineer to build physical test setups, write test plans, and own hands-on debug of the full device, working alongside a genuinely multidisciplinary team spread across several international sites.

What You'll Bring

• A few years' background spanning hardware, firmware and software integration
• Experience putting together test plans and test design documentation from scratch
• Confidence debugging complex embedded systems under pressure
• Solid grounding in protocol testing, both wired and over RF
• An understanding of how IoT systems fit together, RF communication included
• Comfortable working with standard lab test equipment
• A genuinely hands-on style (you'll be happiest setting up rigs and chasing down failures yourself)

Also Valued

• Any background in GPS-based system testing
• Familiarity with RF technologies such as BLE, WiFi, LTE-M or LoRa
• Exposure to cloud infrastructure supporting IoT products
• Comfortable in Atlassian tools and/or Azure DevOps
• Some Python coding ability

If you like owning a product's integration and debug story from the bench up, right as it heads into production, I'd love to hear from you.
