This is a fully remote position, offering genuine flexibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to influence technical direction from day one.

The Role

Reporting directly into the Lead Hardware/Firmware Engineer, you'll be a senior contributor within a small, highly capable engineering team. This is a hands-on role where your ideas matter - you'll have real input into architecture, design decisions, and the roadmap for both existing and brand-new products.

You'll work across the full development life cycle, collaborating closely with colleagues in a relaxed, low-bureaucracy environment with no micromanagement.

If you're a senior engineer who enjoys ownership, variety, and working on meaningful technology without layers of process, this is an opportunity worth exploring! Ideally you will be located in a location that you could come into the office for example if needed but this could be once a month or not at all (see below)
