7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Solving Complex, Real-World Problems

You'll be faced with genuinely tricky challenges, like how to get reliable data from a 30-year-old PLC or how to secure a network of thousands of devices in remote locations. You'll spend your days dissecting these puzzles, designing elegant solutions, and seeing them work in practice.

Successfully designing a solution to collect data from legacy machinery using Modbus-to-MQTT converters, which previously seemed impossible, directly unlocking new efficiency insights for a factory.

Building and Leading a Technical Team

You'll get to mentor and guide a team of specialists, helping them grow their skills and tackle their own challenges. You'll be setting the technical direction, reviewing their work, and helping them unstick themselves when they hit a wall. It's about empowering others to deliver great work.

Seeing a junior team member you've mentored successfully lead their first complex site deployment, thanks to your guidance and the architectural patterns you established.

Tangible Impact on Business Operations

Your work isn't abstract; it directly affects how our factories run, how our logistics move, and how efficient we are. You'll see your designs translate into real-time dashboards that prevent breakdowns, optimise energy use, or improve safety. The impact is visible and measurable.

Implementing a predictive maintenance system that reduces unplanned downtime on a critical production line by 15%, directly contributing to a significant increase in output and saving the company hundreds of thousands of pounds.

What frustrates people

The IT vs. OT Turf War: Constantly battling the IT security team to open firewall ports for gateways or getting pushback on connecting new devices to the corporate network.
Hostile Environments: Your carefully configured sensors keep failing because of extreme heat, vibration, moisture, or chemical exposure on the factory floor, none of which was fully appreciated in the project brief.
Pilot Purgatory: Your proof-of-concept project was a massive success, but it's been six months and there's still no budget approval to scale it, leaving you supporting a one-off 'science project' indefinitely.
Vague Requirements: Stakeholders ask for 'real-time monitoring' but can't define what KPIs actually matter, what thresholds constitute an alert, or how they will use the data to make decisions, leaving you to guess.
Being the 'On-Call Everything': Because you touch the device, the network, the cloud, and the dashboard, you become the default person to call for any problem, even when it's clearly a network outage that's not your fault.

What this role does not give you

A purely theoretical or academic environment; this is hands-on, real-world engineering.
Complete control over all aspects of a project; you'll need to influence and collaborate across departments.
A guarantee that every brilliant solution you design will be immediately scaled; organisational inertia is a real thing.
A quiet, predictable desk job; expect site visits, urgent troubleshooting, and adapting to changing priorities.

8Who you work with

This role directly shapes the future of our operational efficiency and resilience. Your designs will dictate how quickly we can identify and resolve issues, how much waste we can cut, and how effectively we can scale our business. You're building the foundations for data-driven operations, which means a direct impact on our bottom line and competitive advantage.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of what we do as engineers can be repetitive, time-consuming, or just plain tedious. But what if you could offload a significant chunk of that work to AI? Imagine spending less time on manual checks, sifting through documentation, or drafting reports, and more time on the truly complex, creative problem-solving that only humans can do.

In Operations, particularly with IoT, AI isn't just a buzzword; it's a practical tool that can make your life a lot easier. We're actively integrating AI into our workflows, and as a Lead IoT Solutions Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of using these tools to boost your own and your team's productivity. Here’s a glimpse of how AI can transform your daily work:

Automated Device Provisioning & Health Checks

Use AI-powered scripts to automate the repetitive process of securely onboarding new devices onto our network and cloud platforms. The AI can also run daily diagnostic checks on the entire fleet, flagging devices with anomalous battery drain or intermittent connectivity before they fail, saving your team hours of manual monitoring.

Predictive Anomaly Detection

Leverage machine learning models (often built into platforms like Azure IoT Hub or AWS IoT Core) to analyse incoming sensor data streams in real-time. The AI can identify subtle patterns that precede a machine failure, turning a reactive 'it broke' alert into a proactive 'it's about to break' maintenance ticket. This shifts your team from emergency firefighting to planned, preventative maintenance, saving countless hours of unplanned downtime.

Intelligent Documentation Parsing & Q&A

Imagine using a private Large Language Model (LLM) to ingest hundreds of technical manuals for various sensors, gateways, and PLCs. Instead of spending hours searching PDFs, you can ask natural language questions like, 'What is the Modbus register address for temperature on the Fanuc XR-7 robot arm?' and get instant, accurate answers. This drastically cuts down research time for your team.

Auto-Generated Implementation Reports & SOPs

Use AI to synthesise data from Jira tickets, Confluence notes, system logs, and deployment manifests into structured weekly project status reports or comprehensive final implementation summaries. The AI can draft sections on progress, roadblocks, and next steps, or even generate initial drafts of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for your review, freeing up significant time for your team.
