Job Description:

Your mission

Join our fast-moving stealth startup as a Senior Hardware Manufacturing Engineer. We're a multidisciplinary team working on next-generation wearable technologies, now gearing up for production.
You’ll help finalise a system already deep in development, taking it through manufacturing, compliance, and test readiness. Working closely with our mechanical, firmware, and electronics engineers, you’ll make sure what we've built is reliable, certifiable, and ready to ship at scale.

Your profile

What You’ll Do

• Work across teams to ensure reliable integration of mechanical, embedded, and electronics subsystems
• Lead the transition from late-stage prototype to production: BOM validation, documentation, assembly constraints, and test planning
• Interface directly with PCB fabs, CMs, and component suppliers
• Own preparation for compliance and certification (e.g. CE, UKCA, FCC, IEC 62133, UN 38.3)
• Review and support PCB designs that include mixed-signal and RF subsystems, ensuring robust layout, manufacturability, and testability
• Contribute practical, production-focused insight into a hardware pipeline that’s already in motion
• Finalise an existing battery-powered control system with electromechanical elements, including layout revisions and DFM optimisation

• Finalise an existing battery-powered control system with electromechanical elements, including layout revisions and DFM optimisation

• 5+ years of hands-on hardware development experience, ideally in consumer, medical, or industrial electronics
• Proven experience taking at least one hardware product through to manufacturing
• Background in PCB layout for mixed-signal or electromechanical systems
• Deep understanding of battery-powered system design, charging, protection, power path control
• Experience working directly with contract manufacturers and compliance labs
• Confident in generating and managing production-ready documentation: BOMs, stackups, tolerances, test specs
• Comfortable working with systems already in progress, providing focused engineering value without needing to define everything from scratch

• Experience with pump or valve control systems
• Background in NPI (New Product Introduction) and design-for-manufacture
• Familiarity with designing for test (DFT) or building test jigs
• Prior work in startups or shipped low- to mid-volume products (10k–100k units)

• London-based is ideal for in-person collaboration
• UK-remote or hybrid candidates welcome
• Occasional travel to vendors or test sites may be required

Why us?

• Work on a system that is already functional and heading into production
• Help scale from hundreds to 10,000+ units
• Collaborate with a small, hands-on, multidisciplinary team
