• The hardware product end-to-end: From today's early units through retail trials and into large-scale deployment.
• Sourcing and supplier strategy: manufacturer selection, sourcing and management.
• Supply chain scaling: including certification, production ramp-up, logistics, and successful deployment into retail environments.
• External design partners: You will brief, select, and direct industrial design and engineering contractors.
• The supply chain ramp: certification, production scale-up, logistics and getting devices into stores ready to work.
• You're Right For This Role If You've
• Taken a physical product from prototype through EVT/DVT/PVT into scaled production.
• Shipped by coordinating design, engineering, and manufacturing through outsourced relationships, ideally with direct design-to-manufacturing experience in China.
• Owned ODM and contract manufacturing relationships and survived real supply chain disruption.
• Built consumer-grade hardware for demanding settings (retail, payments, logistics, mobility) where drop testing, IP ratings, and cleaning regimes are second nature.
• London-based, in person; we build together.
• Competitive pay plus meaningful equity.
• Full autonomy over hardware strategy, working directly with the founders.
• We would love it hear from you if you've shipped products people rely on every day and they just keep working,
