Industrial Embedded IoT / Electrical Engineer

Employment Terms

Part time - contract

About the Role

We're building industrial IoT technology that connects manufacturing machinery — from legacy standalone equipment to modern connected machines — into reliable, secure data pipelines. We're looking for an Industrial Embedded IoT / Electrical Engineer to design, build, and deploy edge hardware and machine-connectivity solutions across a wide range of machine types, protocols, and factory environments in Pakistan and beyond.

This is hands-on field engineering: you'll be on factory floors, in electrical panels, and inside embedded Linux systems — often in the same week.

What You'll Do

• Configure and deploy ruggedized industrial edge gateway hardware at customer manufacturing sites


• Develop and maintain drivers and integrations for industrial communication standards (OPC-UA, Modbus RTU/TCP, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, and similar fieldbus/Ethernet protocols)


• Design and install sensor-based solutions for machines without native connectivity


• Build and maintain embedded Linux (Yocto/Debian) images and edge-device software


• Implement secure data transmission (MQTT, HTTPS/REST) with TLS and certificate-based authentication


• Perform on-site electrical/panel wiring, sensor installation, and machine-side integration work


• Troubleshoot connectivity across mixed-brand industrial machine fleets


• Work with our data team to ensure edge-to-cloud data quality (validation, buffering, normalisation)


• Produce clear, disciplined documentation of machine connectivity assessments and installations

What You'll Need

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field


• 3–6 years in industrial automation, embedded systems, or industrial IoT (IIoT)


• Hands-on experience with industrial protocols: Modbus, OPC-UA, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, or similar


• Working knowledge of embedded Linux (Yocto, Debian, or similar) and C/C++ and Python


• Experience with PLCs, industrial sensors (proximity, current, temperature), and electrical wiring/panel work


• Understanding of network security fundamentals (TLS, certificate-based authentication, VPN/network segmentation)


• Willingness to travel to manufacturing sites across Pakistan for installation and commissioning

Nice to Have

• Experience with plastics processing or other discrete manufacturing equipment


• Experience with protocol gateways / OPC servers (e.g. Kepware, Softing, or similar)


• Experience with MQTT brokers, time-series databases (InfluxDB/TimescaleDB), or edge data pipelines


• Prior experience at an IIoT / Industry 4.0 product company


• Familiarity with cellular (4G/5G) and Wi-Fi connectivity for remote sites

Soft Skills

• Strong troubleshooting and field problem-solving ability


• Comfortable working directly with factory-floor personnel and customer engineering teamsAble to work independently on-site with minimal supervision

What We Offer

• Ground-floor role building core edge-connectivity technology for a growing industrial software company


• Exposure to a wide range of machine types, protocols, and manufacturing environments


• A collaborative, hands-on engineering culture with direct customer impact

Location & TravelBased in Lahore, Pakistan, with periodic travel to customer manufacturing facilities across Pakistan and Ireland.
