Industrial Embedded IoT Electrical Engineer

Employment Terms

Part time - contract

About the Role

Were building industrial IoT technology that connects manufacturing machinery from legacy standalone equipment to modern connected machines into reliable secure data pipelines. Were 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: youll be on factory floors in electrical panels and inside embedded Linux systems often in the same week.

What Youll 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 Youll Need

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Electronics Mechatronics Computer Engineering or a related field
• 36 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.
