- Comfortable reading and writing firmware specs, hardware schematics, and manufacturing documentation

- Strong project coordination skills: you're able to keep firmware, hardware, and quality workstreams moving without a dedicated project manager alongside you
- Strong prioritisation instincts - able to balance live field issues against long-term roadmap work
- Some familiarity with EU regulatory and compliance requirements for connected hardware products
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with IoT or connected hardware products
- Background in food & beverage, vending, or water technology
