We are looking for a dynamic and hands-on Lead IoT Engineer to join our R&D team at Statcon Electronics. This role focuses on developing and integrating IoT solutions for our next-generation power electronics and energy systems. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in IoT protocols, cloud integration, and edge device development, coupled with leadership potential and solid product deployment experience.

Note: This is a core engineering role with leadership responsibilities — you are expected to contribute directly to development while mentoring others.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, development, and deployment of IoT-enabled systems for power and energy management applications.
• Architect secure and scalable IoT solutions, including device firmware, cloud connectivity, and data management.
• Develop and integrate protocols like MQTT, CoAP, HTTP/REST, and Modbus for edge-to-cloud communication.
• Work with embedded and hardware teams to enable seamless device-level connectivity.
• Interface with cloud platforms such as AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, or similar for telemetry, control, and analytics.
• Ensure security best practices in IoT design, including authentication, encryption, and secure boot.
• Optimize power consumption, latency, and memory usage for resource-constrained devices.
• Manage over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates and remote diagnostics.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams for field deployments, troubleshooting, and system validation.
• Mentor junior engineers and promote industry-standard development practices.
• Document technical designs, APIs, and protocols for maintainability and scalability.
• Stay updated with IoT trends, protocols, and emerging technologies relevant to industrial applications.

Qualifications & Skills:

• B.Tech/B.E. in Electronics, Electrical, Computer Science, Instrumentation, or related field.
• 5 to 8 years of hands-on experience in IoT system design and deployment.
• Strong understanding of embedded systems, edge computing, and wireless communication protocols (BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, NB-IoT, etc.).
• Proficiency in Embedded C/C++, Python, and Node.js for IoT devices.
• Experience with microcontroller platforms like ESP32, STM32, or TI CC-series.
• Familiarity with cloud integration tools and SDKs for AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Working knowledge of IoT security frameworks and secure firmware development.
• Hands-on experience with debugging tools, serial analyzers, and network sniffers.
• Version control proficiency (Git/GitHub), along with knowledge of CI/CD pipelines.
• Ability to lead, document clearly, and communicate effectively across teams.
• Experience in Industrial IoT (IIoT), energy monitoring, or power systems is a strong plus.

What We Offer:

• A chance to lead real-world IoT deployments for mission-critical systems.
• Opportunity to work on end-to-end IoT product development, from device to cloud.
• Competitive salary with performance-based growth.
• A learning-focused culture that values experimentation and innovation.
