Systems Engineer

We are currently partnered with a client who are looking for a technically versatile systems engineer who can bridge the gap between electronics hardware and software systems. This is not a pure electronics design role, but a systems-level position focused on integrating components into smart, connected products.

Key Responsibilities

• Specify and select electronic components (e.g. printers, touchscreens, motherboards)
• Define how hardware components connect and communicate
• Work closely with software developers to ensure seamless integration
• Develop system specifications for connected devices
• Produce and interpret:
  • Wiring diagrams
  • Schematics
• Support development of products such as:
  • Vending machines
  • Kiosks
  • Ticketing systems
  • Smart lockers / POS displays

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong understanding of electronics fundamentals
• Experience working with hardware components and system integration
• Knowledge of how software interacts with hardware (protocols, interfaces, APIs)
• Ability to think at a systems level (not just component-level)
• Comfortable working hands-on with physical devices

Desirable Experience

• Background in:
  • Vending / kiosk / ticketing systems
  • Retail POS or touchscreen devices
• Exposure to HMI systems
• Basic CAD familiarity (not essential)

Working Environment

• Small, collaborative UK-based team
• Part of a wider organisation with dedicated software teams
• Opportunity to play a key role in connecting hardware and software functions

Working Pattern

• Hybrid:
  • Remote working available
  • On-site attendance required for testing and hardware work

If you’re an engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of hardware and software, this is a great opportunity to step into a systems-focused role where you’ll directly shape how smart devices are designed, connected, and deployed.
