Full Stack IoT Engineer
Summary
Hardware-and-firmware engineer at a small IoT product company in Delft: designs PCBs in KiCad, CAD-models and 3D-prints housings, writes C/C++ firmware for Nordic nRF/ESP32/STM32, brings up new boards and builds test fixtures, working with clients from sketch to production. Python tooling and optional cloud (MQTT/REST) skills round it out.
Insyght builds IoT products in Delft, from the first sketch to production runs. Hardware, firmware, apps and cloud, in one small team at YES!Delft.
You take a product from a sketch to a working prototype, and then to something we can actually manufacture. One week you are routing a PCB in KiCad. The next you are on your third print of a housing because the fit was half a millimetre off. The week after you are writing the firmware that ties it all together. If you own a soldering iron and a 3D printer and you use both, we should talk.
What you'll do
- Design schematics and PCBs in KiCad, from first concept to production files
- Model housings, brackets and jigs in CAD and print them yourself
- Write and debug firmware in C or C++ on Nordic nRF, ESP32 or STM32
- Bring up new boards: first power-up, first blink, first radio link
- Build test fixtures so we catch bad boards before they reach a customer
- Choose components, check availability and keep the BOM buildable
- Sit down with clients and work out what the product actually has to do
You are
- A few years of hands-on work across hardware and firmware, or fewer years and a workshop full of things you have built
- KiCad, Altium or similar. You can read a datasheet and draw a schematic from it
- At home in CAD (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Onshape) and behind a 3D printer
- C or C++ on microcontrollers, plus Python for tooling and scripts
- You debug with a scope and a logic analyser instead of guessing
- You finish things. A drawer of half-built projects is normal. A drawer of only half-built projects is not
- Good command of Dutch and English
- Living in or near Delft
Nice to have, not required
- A board built in volume, and you know what design for manufacturing costs you
- RF and antenna work, or the patience to learn it properly
- CE marking, EMC pre-compliance or lab testing
- Production beyond printing: injection moulding, sheet metal, CNC
- The cloud side: MQTT, REST, a dashboard when a project asks for one
What you get
- Real products, from the first sketch to production runs
- A lab with scopes, logic analysers, a reflow oven and printersFreedom to pick your own tools and your own approach
- Flexible hours and hybrid working where it makes sense
- Full-time or part-time
- Salary that matches your experience
- Room to grow into technical lead on your own projects
