IoT Engineer

Do you enjoy working across the full IoT stack? In this role you’ll design embedded firmware for low-power devices, connect them through BLE, LoRa or Cellular, and build the cloud architecture and fleet management systems that run them at scale.

You’ll work closely with firmware, hardware and cloud colleagues, shape our CI/CD pipelines, and help improve how we build and deploy as we grow. It’s a hands-on role for someone who likes variety and wants to see their work running in real shipments.

📍 Location: We need you to be within commutable distance to Basel given the role requires 50%+ time spent on-site.
