IOT Engineer

Have good knowledge of IOT focused products?

Understand electronics and firmware to a basic level, as well as IT and data focused / cloud solutions?

KInow how to get things done in an R&D environment?

This could be the role for you!

We are partnering with a fast-growing industrial technology business that has designed a brand-new IoT product combining electronics, firmware, and cloud-based monitoring tools. With a major product launch underway, and significant demand from global customers, the company is now looking to appoint a hands-on IoT / DevOps Engineer to own device connectivity, data flows, and system integration across their next-generation platform.

This is a rare opportunity to join a small, agile, engineering-driven organisation where your work directly shapes both product launch and future versions. Most important is that you have a positive mindset, enjoy a challenge and problem solving, and enjoy getting things done by whatever route best suits the situation.

Acting as the bridge between hardware, software, and cloud infrastructure, you will be responsible for getting the company's new IoT device reliably connected from:

Sensor/Device Tablet (Bluetooth) Cloud Dashboard (ThingsBoard).

You'll work across real hardware, embedded devices, gateways, industrial protocols, and cloud dashboards-ensuring data moves cleanly, securely, and consistently.

This is not a pure coding role. It is a practical, problem-solving IoT role suited to someone who enjoys "getting stuck in", figuring things out, and taking full ownership of connectivity, configuration, and deployment.

Connectivity & Integration

• Connect new IoT hardware to a tablet via Bluetooth, ensuring reliable pairing, data transfer, and stability.

• Configure and manage data flows into a cloud dashboard (ThingsBoard or similar), ensuring smooth end-to-end data movement.

• Develop and maintain Node-RED flows to ingest, transform, and route data across IoT and industrial systems.

Future Network Development

• Support ongoing development of the upcoming LoRaWAN version of the product, including gateway configuration and data routing concepts.

• Learn and work with gateway-side tools such as Chirpstack or similar LoRaWAN Network Servers.

Systems & Deployment

• Troubleshoot devices, gateways, networks, and on-site deployments.

• Assist with basic Linux, Docker, VPN, and firewall tasks to ensure secure, uninterrupted data flows.

• Work with industrial protocols such as Modbus-TCP, OPC-UA, HTTP/MQTT, APIs, and other data transport standards.

Customer Interaction

• Occasionally speak with end customers - including global enterprise IT teams - to explain connectivity, data security, and system configuration.

• Support field deployments and contribute to clear documentation, onboarding processes, and runbooks.

Beyond technical skills, culture and mindset matter enormously. The business is small, fast-paced and expects people to manage their own workload, take accountability, and operate without micromanagement.

They value individuals who:

• Are proactive, curious, and willing to "have a go at everythi
