Are you an electronics engineer who loves solving complex technical challenges, shaping real‑world products, and seeing your designs come to life in the field?

As a Senior Electronics Engineer at A‑SAFE, you’ll lead the design and development of hardware across our growing portfolio of IoT sensors and gateway technologies. These products play a critical role in improving safety and efficiency in industrial environments worldwide, and your work will directly influence their performance, reliability and innovation.

This is a hands‑on, high‑impact engineering role where you’ll work across the full development lifecycle, collaborate closely with mechanical and software teams, and play a key part in defining next‑generation connected safety technology.

How you will make an impact:

• You’ll lead the design, development and validation of electronic hardware for new and existing IoT products.
• You’ll challenge system designs, influence architecture and drive decisions on component selection, RF approaches, sensing strategy and hardware/software integration.
• You’ll perform structured testing and debugging, ensuring designs are robust, efficient and meet the highest quality and compliance standards.
• You’ll design and maintain production test equipment that ensures hardware is built right, first time.
• You’ll prepare technical documentation, from schematics and specifications to test plans and reports.
• You’ll explore new technologies, evaluate emerging components and help define our future engineering roadmap.
• You’ll mentor others through best practice, structured reviews and hands‑on problem solving.
• You’ll collaborate closely with embedded software, mechanical, product design and cloud teams to deliver integrated, beautifully engineered solutions.

What we are looking for:

• Strong experience designing electronic hardware, ideally for IoT, sensing, wireless or embedded products.
• Proficiency with CAD tools such as Altium for schematic capture and PCB collaboration.
• Strong knowledge of digital and analogue circuit design, including power, microcontrollers, sensors and interfaces.
• Experience designing or integrating RF elements (antennas, modules, layout constraints, keep‑outs).
• Hands‑on validation skills using oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, power analysers and other test equipment.
• Experience supporting DFM/DFA, production test fixtures and prototype bring‑up.
• Ability to review system‑level designs and contribute to architecture decisions.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.

You’ll also bring:

• A problem‑solving mindset and the confidence to challenge assumptions.
• High attention to detail and strong ownership of design quality.
• Curiosity, adaptability and a willingness to explore new technologies and techniques.
• A collaborative approach — you’ll work across multiple disciplines daily.
• The desire to build products that genuinely improve safety and efficiency in industrial environments.

Why you’ll love working with us:

You’ll join a highly capable, friendly and passionate engineering team where your ideas make an immediate impact. You’ll work on meaningful, real‑world products used by global brands from airports and warehouses to manufacturing sites worldwide.

You’ll help shape next‑generation connected safety technology in a business that values innovation, invests in R&D, and embraces engineering excellence. Expect variety, autonomy, technical challenge and a supportive environment where good engineering truly matters.

If you enjoy building hardware that solves real problems and want to be part of a team pushing the boundaries of industrial IoT, this role is for you.

Benefits:

• A subsidised on-site gym, available for all colleagues. 
• Flexible start and finish times to fit around you and your lifestyle.
