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.

If you’re a hands-on engineer who thinks like a product founder and wants to shape a high-volume hardware portfolio, let’s talk.  Send a resume or message for a confidential conversation today.
