Senior Hardware Engineer (3 month FTC – paternity cover)
London (twice a month in London HQ)
Talentedge Tech are working exclusively with a very interesting London based Consumer Tech business. We’re looking for extra hands on deck in the form of a Senior Hardware Engineer to help with some business critical HW releases.
This is a hands‑on, high‑impact 3‑month contract focused on supporting the final development and launch of new products.
You won’t be owning a full product area, instead, you’ll act as a highly capable “force multiplier” across the team, picking up well‑defined technical problems and driving them through to completion.
Think: less long‑term roadmap, more “what needs solving right now to ship great hardware?”
What you’ll be doing:
Over your 3 months, you’ll work closely with hardware, firmware, and manufacturing partners to:
- Validate and debug hardware circuits across late‑stage product development
- Support hardware‑firmware integration and feature bring‑up
- Investigate and resolve issues discovered during testing and manufacturing
- Collaborate with OS/firmware teams to unblock system‑level challenges
- Assist with compliance and certification‑related engineering tasks
- Work with external manufacturing partners to close out final issues pre‑production
You’ll be given clearly scoped problems and the autonomy to run with them.
What we’re looking for:
We’re after someone who can hit the ground running with minimal hand‑holding.
- Strong fundamentals in electronics and hardware design
- Proven experience in hands‑on hardware development, validation, and debugging
- Comfortable working independently and owning technical tasks end‑to‑end
- Experience collaborating across hardware, firmware, and manufacturing teams
- Practical lab skills (e.g. scopes, power supplies, soldering, bring‑up/debug)
Nice to have:
- Audio, wireless, or power system exposure
- Experience working with contract manufacturers
How they work:
- Remote‑first, but the HW team meet in London roughly twice a month
- Flexible, pragmatic, and focused on outcomes
- A team of experienced engineers who trust each other to get things done
They’ll make sure you have the equipment you need to do your best work.
This is a great fit if you:
- Enjoy hands‑on engineering over process and meetings
- Like solving real problems in the final stretch before launch
- Want to make a meaningful impact in a short space of time
- Prefer autonomy and ownership over rigid structure
The details:
- Start date: June 2026 (flexible for the right person)
