ll be doing Design, develop and deliver embedded electronics subsystems, from drawing board to production-ready design. Develop firmware in C (or optionally Rust) across platforms including STM32, ESP32, Pi Compute Modules and NXP i.MX. Prototype boards and debug hardware using tools like KiCad, oscilloscopes and logic analysers. Design with the user in mind - not just how it works … top university. You've written embedded C for microcontrollers and understand how to test your code properly. You've built and debugged hardware before - maybe with STM32, ESP32, or RaspberryPi Compute Modules. You know how to structure problems, ask great questions, and communicate clearly under pressure. You take pride in thoughtful documentation, thorough testing, and clean design. More ❯

maintain Python-based automation frameworks (Playwright, Jenkins). Set up and manage test environments across macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and iOS — both virtual and physical. Work with real hardware — Raspberry Pis, embedded devices, and networked test rigs. Troubleshoot networks and systems, verify connectivity, and validate new features. Develop performance, scalability, and security testing as we scale. Collaborate closely with … hardware setups. Nice to have: Wireshark or packet analysis experience. Mobile or embedded testing exposure. A security-minded or “white-hat” approach. A tinkerer’s mindset — home lab setups, RaspberryPi experiments, etc. If you haven’t done deep VPN or network-level testing yet but have the curiosity and foundation to learn fast, we’re open to More ❯
