The Role

We are seeking an IoT Hardware Engineer & Lab Manager to lead the electronic design of our IoT devices while also managing the lab and warehouse at our Como headquarters. This role has a strong technical focus—electronic design, prototyping, industrialization—that extends to overseeing the supply chain, quality, logistics, and support.

What will you do?

Electronic Design and Industrialization

• Hardware design of IoT devices: define electronic architectures, select components, develop schematics, and oversee PCB layouts, coordinating with external designers and the firmware/software development team.
• Lead the prototyping phases—from breadboards to the first pilot batches—conducting and supervising functional, reliability, and environmental tests both in the lab and in the field.
• Product industrialization: oversee transition from prototype to series production, including assembly specifications, DFM/DFT, and production process validation.
• Procurement and supply chain: select component suppliers, negotiate, perform incoming quality control, monitor costs and lead times, and provide technical support for all IoT products launched on the market.

Laboratory and Warehouse

• Organize daily laboratory and warehouse activities, overseeing consumables and packaging inventory.
• Monitor device shipment requests, their return, and inspections in the event of malfunctions.
• Coordinate warehouse staff for shipments, repairs, and dismantling/recycling in compliance with RENTRI regulations.
• Ensure device traceability throughout their lifecycle and organize activities with third‑party suppliers for assembly, customization, and shipping.

Who are we looking for?

• Degree in Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, or related STEM disciplines
• Concrete experience in electronic circuit design (schematics, PCB layout, component selection)
• Knowledge of prototyping, testing and industrialization processes of electronic devices
• Familiarity with laboratory equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, soldering station, etc.)
• Experience in supplier management, hardware procurement, and supply chain
• Experience in warehouse and logistics management
• Available from September 2026

Skills that make the difference

• Experience with wireless communication technologies (LoRa, BLE, NB‑IoT, Wi‑Fi) and typical IoT protocols
• Knowledge of product regulations and certifications (CE, RED, RoHS)
• Organizational skills and management of priorities on multiple fronts simultaneously
• Ability to work in a team and coordinate internal and external resources
• Problem solving and proactivity in the face of unexpected events
• Attention to detail, especially in quality control and traceability
• Clear and effective communication with different interlocutors (suppliers, technical team, subcontractors)

What we offer

• Permanent contract, full-time
• RAL €40,000 – €60,000 based on experience
• The opportunity to work at a scale‑up that is building Europe’s largest ecological corridor.
• An environment that rewards talent, responsibility, and the desire to make a difference
