Job Description
Senior Hardware / Electronics Product Lead required for a stealth hardware company in London, backed by top investors and preparing for Series A and building groundbreaking physical technology.
The current VP of Engineering is looking for a technical engineer, who can still be hands‑on with electronics engineering, and has the business savvy to own the complete product lifecycle from initial sketch to full factory ramp‑up.
This is not a purely isolated design role. You will bridge the gap between hard engineering and product delivery, taking full ownership off the leadership team’s plate.
Responsibilities
- Total Product Ownership: You won’t just design circuits in a vacuum; you will own architecture, prototyping, supply chain, quality control, and mass manufacturing for multiple novel consumer products.
- Flat, High‑Impact Structure: Zero line‑management bureaucracy, but genuine project leadership. You’ll guide a tight‑knit London engineering team of ~10 and influence how our entire hardware organization scales.
- Genuinely Groundbreaking Tech: You get to solve hard physical challenges and see your work deployed in significant market volumes.
Requirements
- End-to-End Track Record: You have personally taken complex physical hardware products all the way from idea to prototype to factory floor to high‑volume production.
- Hands‑On Engineering Depth: Fluent across analogue/digital design, PCB bring‑up, microcontrollers, sensor integration, power management, and DFM/DFT.
- Production & Quality Control: Deep understanding of manufacturing partners, yield optimization, hardware validation, and rigorous production environments.
- Commercial & Leadership Mindset: You understand the business side of product engineering - deadlines, supply chains, and design trade‑offs.
Nice‑to‑Haves
- Degree from an elite engineering university (Oxbridge, Imperial, UCL, etc.).
- Exposure to wearables, medical devices, IoT, automotive, or high‑reliability consumer electronics.
