Senior Firmware Test Engineer

Bonus points if it had to survive somewhere hostile. Strong automation chops in Python, and you've built or maintained a test framework from the ground up before, not just used one. You're just as comfortable with a debugger and a bench setup as you are writing test code. UART, SPI, I2C, JTAG don't scare you. You've got CI/CD pipelines wired into your workflow already. You're a sharp troubleshooter. You form hypotheses, test them, and know when to loop in the engineer who wrote the code. You work well in a fast-moving Agile team and don't wait to be told what to test next.

Bonus points for Experience with LoRa/LoRaWAN, BLE, or cellular IoT (LTE-M/NB-IoT). Protobuf or similar binary serialisation, especially around schema compatibility. AWS experience (Athena, Elasticsearch, Lambda, EventBridge, Grafana). FreeRTOS or other RTOS environments. Genuine curiosity about farming, animal welfare, or hardware that has to work outdoors, unattended, on a live animal. We can teach the domain, but the curiosity has to be there already. Our
