IoT Hardware Engineer & Lab Manager

The Role:

We are seeking an IoT Hardware Engineer & Lab Manager to lead the electronic design of our IoT devices while also managing the lab and warehouse at our Como headquarters. This role has a strong technical focus—electronic design, prototyping, industrialization—that extends to overseeing the supply chain, quality, logistics, and support.

What will you do?

Electronic design and industrialization

You will be responsible for the hardware design of IoT devices: you will define electronic architectures, select components, develop schematics, and oversee PCB layouts, coordinating with external designers and the firmware/software development team.
You will lead the prototyping phases—from breadboards to the first pilot batches—conducting and supervising functional, reliability, and environmental tests both in the lab and in the field.
You will be responsible for product industrialization, overseeing the transition from prototype to series production: assembly specifications, DFM/DFT, and production process validation.
You will manage procurement and supply chain—selecting component suppliers, negotiating, incoming quality control, and monitoring costs and lead times—and provide technical support for all IoT products launched on the market, supporting colleagues, collaborators, and customers.

Laboratory and warehouse

You will organize daily laboratory and warehouse activities, overseeing consumables and packaging inventory. You will monitor device shipment requests, their return, and inspections in the event of malfunctions.
You will coordinate warehouse staff for shipments, repairs, and dismantling/recycling in compliance with RENTRI regulations.
You will ensure device traceability throughout their lifecycle and organize activities with third-party suppliers for assembly, customization, and shipping.

* Ability to work in a team and coordinate internal and external resources

* Problem solving and proactivity in the face of unexpected events

* Attention to detail, especially in quality control and traceability
