Electronics Engineer

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.

IOT DevOps Engineer - The Role

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.

IOT DevOps Engineer - Key Responsibilities

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.

IOT DevOps Engineer - What This Company Is Really Looking For

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 everything”.

Can manage time effectively in an environment with limited hand-holding.

Enjoy bridging hardware, software, cloud, and networking.

Take pride in solving problems independently and finishing tasks.

Essential Skills & Experience

You don’t need to be an expert in everything, but strong capability in the following is required:

Bluetooth connectivity experience (device to app/tablet).

Node-RED (creating or modifying workflows / data pipelines).

General IoT systems understanding: sensors → data → cloud.

Experience with connected devices, dataflows, gateways, APIs.

Basic experience with Linux, Docker, VPNs, firewall rules, or similar.

Understanding of industrial or IoT protocols (e.g., Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT, HTTP).

Why This Role Is Exciting

You will directly influence a brand-new industrial IoT product in the final stages of launch.

You’ll work with cutting-edge sensing and connectivity technology across multiple industries.

The role will grow — potentially leading to future product development or even building a small team.

Real autonomy: no micromanagement, genuine ownership, real impact.

If you’re a proactive IoT engineer who loves solving connectivity challenges and wants to help bring a new industrial product to market, we’d love to hear from you

Where to Advertise Edge Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising edge computing jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. Edge computing sits at the intersection of embedded systems, networking, cloud infrastructure and real-time data processing — and the professionals who specialise in it are a small, highly technical community not well served by general job boards. Candidates with genuine edge and IoT expertise are rarely browsing general platforms, and roles in this space are frequently misunderstood or miscategorised by non-specialist recruiters. This guide, published by EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise edge computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Edge Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Shaping Edge Innovation

Edge computing is transforming how data is processed by bringing compute power closer to the source of generation. With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT), real‑time analytics, autonomous systems, and latency‑sensitive applications, edge computing has moved from a niche discipline to a core component of digital infrastructure. In 2026, organisations that specialise in or heavily invest in edge computing are expanding their teams to build distributed systems, real‑time analytics platforms, and edge‑optimised AI. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are growing, winning contracts, or securing investment is essential. This article highlights the new and high‑growth edge computing employers to watch in 2026, including UK startups, international innovators with a UK presence, and established companies shifting strategy toward edge.

How Many Edge Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an Edge Computing Job?

If you’re trying to start or grow a career in edge computing, it can feel like you’re navigating a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms — Kubernetes, Docker, IoT frameworks, AWS Greengrass, Azure IoT Edge, OpenShift, TinyML toolkits, networking orchestration, real-time streaming frameworks, and on it goes. Scroll job boards and community forums and it’s easy to conclude that unless you master every buzzword imaginable, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most edge computing hiring managers won’t necessarily say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every edge computing tool — they hire you because you can solve real system problems using the tools you know. Tools matter, yes — but only when they support clear outcomes: reliable systems, performance at scale, secure edge deployments and real business value. So how many edge computing tools do you actually need to know to secure a job? For most edge computing roles, the answer is fewer than you think — and a lot clearer when sorted by fundamentals and roles. This guide shows you what matters, what doesn’t, and how to focus your time wisely so you come across as capable, confident and employable.
