Own the Brain of a Wireless Ecosystem.
Stop being a small cog in a giant machine and start being the technical architect of a mature, wireless platform moving to the cloud.
We have a proven, wireless hardware platform called
Prolink
. Until now, its development has lived with external partners; now, we are bringing that intelligence home. We are looking for our
second internal technical hire
—the "Mr. Prolink"—to take full ownership of our firmware and application layer and lead our transition to a cloud-connected IoT future.
Why this role is different:
* Total Ownership:
You aren't just following a spec; you are the internal expert proposing the technical path for our transition to IoT.
* Hardware in your Hands:
This isn't an abstract software job. You'll be in the lab most of the time, working directly with boards, chips, and wireless protocols to see your code come to life.
* 80% Development, 0% Red Tape:
We want a doer. You'll spend the vast majority of your time in pure development, supported by an internal tester and our specialist partners.
Your Typical Week:
We move fast and value autonomy. Your week will likely look like this:
* Priority Setting:
A Monday briefing with Simon and Gary to agree on the week's deliverables. No micromanagement—just clear goals.
* The Build:
Deep-dive development on the firmware and application layer, progressing our cloud connectivity roadmap.
* The Lab:
Hands-on hardware interaction—diagnosing tricky bugs, reproduction of field issues, and systematic fault-finding on physical devices.
* Collaboration:
Daily syncs with Andrew (our in-house Test/Validation lead) and technical calls with Ignis, our external hardware partners.
* Quality Control:
Performing code reviews on both internal and external work to ensure our standards remain world-class.
What you bring to the bench:
* Firmware Mastery:
A career built on ~80% development. You've taken embedded products from end-to-end.
* Wireless DNA:
Proven experience working with wireless/radio communication protocols on real products.
* Security Mindset:
You understand how to secure an embedded device once it hits the open world of the cloud.
* The "Startup" Spirit:
You are a self-starter who finishes what they start and is confident enough to suggest alternative technical solutions.
The Logistics:
* Location:
This is a lab-based role requiring a regular physical presence to access hardware. You must be local or willing to commute.
* Rewards:
We pay for experience and independence. If you can hit the ground running and own the product, we will ensure the compensation matches your value.
