Engineering Lead for Hardware Products

Shape the next generation of smart safety products – and grow with it. Lead the hardware behind services that protect hundreds of thousands of users. Take muuun (www.muuun.com) to production at scale, and build the team, partners, and processes that will power our hardware across Europe.

Join Monitum’s Tech Team – and Help It Grow!

As our Engineering Lead for Hardware Products, based at our Vilnius office, you will own the hardware and firmware of our IoT safety products end-to-end – from schematics and prototypes to production lines and field quality. This is a rare chance to put your name on a product line at a company that is on a scaling journey. You’ll lead the launch of the muuun hub Gen 3 (and future products), guide our firmware engineers, and ensure what we design can be built reliably while scaling to the highest quality standards. As our hardware volume grows, so does your role – from shaping the technical roadmap to building the team behind it.


About Monitum

Monitum is a growing technology company building innovative IoT products and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) for safety. In 2023 we acquired muuun – the award-winning smart safety product recognised with the Red Dot 2022 and iF Design awards – and we keep expanding its ecosystem with new products and services. Our white-label platform is engineered for enterprise scale, giving leading partners such as telecom operators, credit intermediaries and insurance providers the stability to offer safety services under their own brand. With over a decade of experience in electronics, software and service development for both B2B and B2C customers, and an international team on both shores of the Baltic Sea – in Stockholm and Vilnius – our ambition is to become Europe’s leading provider of safety products and services. We build intuitive, human-centred solutions, because the best UX demands professional engineering. Join us and help take muuun to new heights!


Responsibilities & Expectations

You are a hands-on technical leader and problem solver who owns our hardware products end-to-end – from design decisions and trade-off analysis to production, certification and quality in the field.

While your track record is important, your mindset and alignment with our values are what will truly make you a star at Monitum.


Experience: 5+ years in hardware development, including taking at least one electronic product from design through launch to production. Experience with certification and IoT or consumer electronics is a significant advantage.
